My gopher is on a home system, with a cross between dynamic and static ip, and to top it all of, I'm behind a firewall. The problem is just with a script I have that updates the ip registered to sugaku.homeunix.org. I updated manually, and so it should work now. I am not sure how long it was down, so thanks for telling me. My home computer just has it in /etc/hosts, and the other computer I was using turned out to be caching it, so I never realised the problem.

I might make a couple more simple themes based on some free backgrounds.

AFAIK the background is freely distributable and not copyrighted, so the theme can basically be public domain. I'll include a brief license notice.

Other servers and clients don't really matter, but this is (so far) something that people using bucktooth can do. Basically the way it works is that instead of the path you enter a URL. A smart client will realise this, and other clients will just send this url back to the server, who provides a brief html redirection. Just check it out on my gopher (which should probably be up by now)
