[ANN] bollux, a bash gemini browser

[Case Duckworth]

Hey geminauts,

I was able to fix bollux this evening with possibly the smallest diff
ever. I changed a '/' to ':'.

Anyway, I'm definitely going to test my software before I release it
from now on. So try it, let me know what you think!

(I wrote a post about it on my nilog as well:
