Sad that I missed SciPy Conference this year. One of the things I like doing at scipy is nerding it up with my friends, seeing each others workflows, showing off vim tricks, etc. This video was my attempt at scratching that itch, a little bit. As I mention in the video, this is take 2. Take 1 ended when I ran out disk space, but needless to say, it was more awesome than this. It seems I am cursed with losing first takes, see also a summary of last year’s SciPy conference, where this exact same thing happened.

Transition to Gopher was rough this time, it was better during the first take.
Lorance Stinson’s w3m (better) gopher support
Use this if, for example, going to `w3m gopher://sdf.org` you get errors like:
[unsupported] '/1' doesn't exist! [unsupported] This resource cannot be located.
It still took some tweaking, shoot me an email for details

Q: Why are you using “Chromium –incognito”?
I have chronic tabitis, and this is one way of mitigating that problem. If the
browser crashes or I shutdown my computer, I won’t have those tabs around
anymore.
