Over at 90% Crud, George is celebrating April Fool’s Day by making his site available via gopher.
I just want to point out that I had the exact same idea a few weeks back, I just never said it in public:
Ryan: So I think for April Fool’s this year, i’m going to mock up a press release for our web site (viewable only internally) announcing our company’s new Gopher site.
Paul: Oh, nice idea!
Paul: Finally!
Ryan: I’ll probably say something about how new business cards will be handed out with the gopher address…
Paul: You should also announce withdrawal of the website, given the WWW’s shaky foundation. Gopher is the future.
Ryan: Exactly.
Ryan: what would be really cool would be if I actually set up a gopher server…
Ryan: if only i had the time.
