I had to look up nex. I've seen talk of smolnet in the BBS field and
thought it was him, but now i know smolnet is an actual thing. I have
alot to learn.

I've been seeing finger used for interesting things. Off the top of my
head, you can get a weather report for your area on a finger.

finger cityname@graph.no

For my city, here is the output

I'm toying with the idea of providing such services but with RSS feeds
and dumping ten latest stories based on the feeds that are setup -
