you are my hero, not just for all the awesome OpenBSD contributions and dedication but for the fact that you still maintain a GOPHER protocol'd site!

I still love Gopher. Its for people who give a shit about the content and structure, not oodles of CSS and JS cack wrapped around four square inches of content that looks like my teenage daughter fired up Word and set the font size to 18pt so she didn't have to write so much.

do you know what gopher server is in use?

If I remember correctly it is The Gophernicus Project.

http://gopherproxy.meulie.net/gophernicus.org/ or you can use the overbite extension for firefox.

yes that is one. I remember accessing txt files via gopher on university systems back in the 90's. It was similar to browsing an FTP directory via a web browser, with a few more features.
