Just a quick post to say sorry to all the people who’ve reported trouble with the telnet comments system. I did a server reconfiguration a while back that broke inetd in a way that wasn’t immediately obvious to me. The telnet comments are working once again…just connect to 4d2.org on port 23.
I’m really surprised that so many people are reading this blog over Gopher. I am truly flattered to be in the company of such silly people.
In case anyone’s interested, the software that handles both the Gopher page generation and the telnet comments is open source. It’s available via Gopher and via Floodgap’s Gopher-HTTP proxy.
I haven’t updated WP2Gopher for WordPress 3.0 yet–I don’t know if an update will even be necessary–but I plan to handle that in the next few days.

good to see it working again, but still the first time i select the article to comment on it says please try again, the second time it works
Thanks Dan, I’ll look at that. It doesn’t do that for me but telnet clients vary a lot in the way they handle line terminators and my telnet server is pretty crude.
