+@Toby there is there is an additional program call khard that is a contact list that works with pim utils. It was developed by someone else but it works fine with vdirsyncer. I have been using all the programs for several years and I second your endorsement of them.

+Hey, I test my online tinylog editor ! It works with a simple gemini browser !
+
+
+### Favicons
+
+Lace may show the actual code for a favicon rather than the icon itself depending on the version of GNU less and/or fonts installed. If this happens you can either install a font that supports the favicon or comment out the following line in the script.
+
+```
+fav=$(openssl s_client -crlf -quiet -connect "$domain:1965" <<<"gemini://$domain/favicon.txt" 2>/dev/null | sed -e '1d')
+```
+Since favicons are not part of the Gemini standard, you may not want favicons to display. Commenting out the above line of code will prevent favicons from displaying.
+
+### Updates
+
+2012-05-?? I added the strict option to laced. If you use laced strict the file that is created is a true gemini formatted file without the color codes used by the lacedreader.
+
+2021-05-03 I added laced and lacedreader. laced will download microblogs but will not open them for reading. It is designed to be used with crontab. lacedreader is the reader to be used with the laced.
+
+2021-04-28 I added the logic that if the server times out on the first connect to skip the second connect.
+
+2021-04-27 I added a timeout variable in that is used with the timeout command to timeout connecting after a designated time to an unresponsive server. If the value for the variable is a number it is in seconds if it is a number followed by a m then it is in minutes.
