Hi again, the Phytocodex gopher service has been hanging oddly every few days, requiring a manual restart. I changed some service settings so that it gets restarted every day or so. This should help it stay up and running more reliably. Thanks!

Hi all, sorry for the downtime. I rebuilt my server recently and never re-set-up Phytocodex. I've been super busy lately but I'll try to get to it soon.

Thanks to @imactheknife, I now have a Mac IIci in fabulous condition. Because I never want anything to be easy, I've set a goal for myself to get pixel-perfect output from the onboard video to an inexpensive LCD monitor. After a bunch of research and some tinkering, I've learned some things but...
