ROOPHLOCH 2025- 29SEP2025

I had plans all year to do something more substantial for this year's ROOPHLOCH. I was going to bike somewhere with an old laptop and my trusty minidisc walkman and not only write the post(s) out in the world but save it as Bell300 FSK audio on MD for transport back to my home. I was also going to encode photos on MD with one of the many SSTV formats.

Unfortunately between studying for an exam and my commuter bike being unridable all my spare energy has been spent dealing with that.

So instead I'm writing this one-handed on my phone while walking my dogs and being eaten alive by the late summer mosquittos. But we saw a few deer, so I'll add that when I upload. Here's to next year!

-Thalass.

It's definitely autumn.

A terrible photo of three deer.

Recorded audio used to transport the above post. Decode with "minimodem -r 300 -a" or similar.

(pre-upload edit: Ironically because I thought I would be clever and write the above in Nano inside the Termux app on my phone I have to use the minidisc to get the text out. My phone isn't rooted so I can't move the file out of Termux's sandbox 🤦‍♂️)

(pre-upload edit 2: Garbage characters removed from before the first line so the gemtext works. Photos added. )
