# Announcing decoded.legal, gopher-edition

Always keen to stay at the forefront of modern technology, you can now access much of the information on the decoded.legal website through the gopher protocol.

To do this:

* install a `gopher` client
* access the gopherhole using `gopher decoded.legal`

Why? I felt like it.

@neil Two gophers in two days. Is this a comeback?

I last used it c. 1994.

@neil The figlet looks weird in Lagrange. Looks like there are some stray code fence blocks in the source?

A gopher page at decoded.legal, displayed in the mobile app Lagrange. There is ASCII art of text at the top. The word "decoded" is legible but the second word is malformed and hard to read.

@neil I wonder whether you’re the only lawyer on gopher. I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t be the first, but maybe the first for sometime.

@neil what resources would you recommend as a starting point for building a gopher presence?

@neil yes!

The text on the start page was cut off on the right side. Switching to landscape mode fixed it.

But apart from that, it worked perfectly.

@neil I wrote a little Go (seamed right...) app that can convert RSS/ATOM feed into Gopher pages

https://github.com/hardillb/gopherPodcast

It supports Blogs and Podcast feeds
