I have a gopher hole. So do a few hundred other people on this planet. The Gopher-sphere's a slow, thoughtful place.

  How would one go about exploring the gopher-sphere?

    cURL and netcat are gopher clients, of course ... but it's likely easier to start with a chrome extension, eg: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/burrow-gopherspace-explor/plhaaggiajlcjclagmjnjmaonhkdhhji https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/burrow-gopherspace... (via OverBite: http://gopher.floodgap.com/overbite/ http://gopher.floodgap.com/overbite/ ) and reading up a bit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gopher_(protocol) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gopher_(protocol) then dip a toe into the community forums.

    You can access gopher using a regular browser through Floodgap's proxy: http://gopher.floodgap.com/gopher/gw http://gopher.floodgap.com/gopher/gw A good gopher hole to visit to find recently-updated material is here: gopher://i-logout.cz/1/bongusta/ Using a terminal, the old lynx browser is probably the most widely available and user-friendly client. If you want a GUI, Skyjake's Lagrange browser is beautiful and available for Linux, Mac, and Windows: https://github.com/skyjake/lagrange https://github.com/skyjake/lagrange
