Gemming

Gemming is what I would like to call this process of converting posts into wrapped and proper width formats. By creating a header and footer with a START and END verbage and visual cues, I can at least suggest to the user that 70 CHAR width is sufficient for many applications. In

the same vein of grammatical punnery, shards becomes the next part of my analogous "bits" in the outterwebs.

On Formatting:

This 70 Characters did not come from a vacuum. It was suggested by NEX

protocol ettiquette. I like it and it can stay!

On Shards, What are bytes?

As in the outterwebs I maintain a set of bytes (or am attempting to), I find the need for this similar feature maybe in gemspace. To this end, no real rhyme or reason exists other than it "works"!

BUTT Really! -CW- colorful language

Ok, cheap bottom humor. Where were we? Yes this business of constraint

and that of width. Mobile devices? GOOD LUCK! There are a dicktillion different widths on a cuntillion amount of different clients because fuck all fuck any standards, we still never use them sometimes dot fucking calm me down oh my gosh.

I keep trying different things, and then I find another font that is NOT monospace honestly, because just ever so much in the ext char sets which I just HAPPEN to utilise in some stuff only to find that it JUST DOESN'T WORK unless the shit is presented in ACTUAL monospace!

OK Well, ehem, now we know how I feel about widths. and how 70 is just peachy. For now.
