  Right, I actually like it and wouldn't mind if that stayed up for a while.

Looks slick! Are there any templates/libraries available to build such site? The initial loading of text looks pretty nice.

    1090+ clicks from that one comment alone ... the internet is a pretty wild place.

Damn, I love this. Best I've seen so far today.

And the gopher mirror, too! I don't have a good reason, but I really like the gopher protocol. Cool to see someone go to the (minimal) effort it takes to make a gopher mirror.

  I am just now writing a static site generator that generates a directory based website from a folder hierarchy. It is heavily inspired by gopher. No bling, no js (well, unintrusive js to make the directory listing sortable) and a focus on getting shit online. The pages are either plain text or generated through some templates using markdown. I am in dire need to clean the code up, but I will put it on github sooner or later. It grew top-to-bottom and bottom-to-top without meeting in the middle :(

    That sounds like Apache's default directory index

      Well, I could smash my head bloody against mod_autoindex to make it present things the way I want. Or I can spend 3 hours writing something that I don't have to think about ever again.

"The second phase of the project to get Gentoo Linux to a wider user base will involve the creation of floppy disk sets containing a compact version of the operating system and a selection of software essentials. It is estimated that sets could be created using less than 700 disks each and sponsorship is currently being sought." Having very recently had the, uhm, pleasure of installing MS DOS 6.22 on an old PC using floppy disks (3.5" disks, actually, which aren't all that floppy), and thus having a clear memory of how hard it was to find just three freaking disks at our company, I recoil in horror at the thought of having to juggle hundreds of disks. Or finding a recent computer with a floppy drive. The idea is hilarious, though.
