Elf M. Sternberg 73b0f90c16 COMPLETE: A relatively straightforward implementation of the Monologued server. 
This is obviously a version 1.0, but it taught me a few things about Go's
networking and its batteries included philosophy.  I'll have a longer blog
post about it in a few days.  It still needs a configuration file and a
couple of other features found in traditional finger servers, but for now
this is a pretty good example.

MONOLOGUED

Monologued is an implementation of an RFC1288 protocol server in Go.

That's right. Monologued is a Finger server.

WHY‽‽‽‽

While what I really wanted was to learn Rust, work decided that Go was a better choice. Since I have to learn it, this seemed like the best way to go about it. Still not thrilled with the decision, but maybe I'll get a blog post out of it.

Status

Monologued is still very much not working. Don't even bother downloading. It's mostly something to cut my teeth on while I try to figure out how Go works.

Thanks

Thanks to my friend Nathaniel for the answer to my original question, "In a movie, when the villain is explaining his plans at length, what is that called?" Nathaniel explained that "He's monologuing," and now you know why it has that name.
