Dict, Python clients, and Gophers, Oh My!

I don’t use a spell checker for this weblog, and I’m truly sorry for that.  Sucks to be you, my reader.  Most of the time if I’m not sure of the spelling of a word, I’ll either look it up at dict.org or find a similar, easier to spell word.

I was curious about DICT protocol clients, so I went to the links page.  This led me to John Goerzen’s Python client class.  I’m taking a look at it now, it looks simple yet powerful.  John hosts his content with a gopher.  I miss gopher.  Gopher used to be the coolest thing on the planet.

Of course John has also written a gopher server in Python.  It’s called PyGopherd (duh!).  I so have to set one up.
