I wrote a 'banner'-like program for Plan 9 (and p9p) that uses the Unicode box drawing characters: http://txtpunk.com/banner/index.html

Cleaned up a bit, with installation instructions for Plan 9 and p9p, tiny character tweaks, and a change log.

Plan 9 got three slots in GSoC; we’ll be working on an updated Japanese input method, updating edwood, and getting Oauth2 support. 🎉🐇

My 9.5KB plain text feed is also getting up there. I’ve been thinking about adding a feed with only recent posts. Last 25 or 30, probably.
Good idea. Plan 9 sets $NPROC on boot to the number of cores, so other things can use it. mk will dispatch things in just that way.
Just over a week left to apply to Summer of Code. Plan 9 is in there, and ~200 other good orgs. Go apply and tell students you know. https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/

Not even a little. So pumped. https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/Tf20bce89ef96d4b6-M63f81768e4ffdfa4df402ec5/transfer-of-plan-9-to-the-plan-9-foundation

Plan 9 is GSoC! 🎉🐇 I’ve missed participating this program. https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/Ta35cde1382617430-M32af07f289087f227189b74f/plan-9-in-summer-of-code
Hrm, that would’ve been csh probably, or tcsh if you were lucky. But Plan 9 uses rc, which is so lovely I use it everywhere.
Hey, from my perspective on Plan 9, all these linuxes are the same junk.
Plan 9 doesn’t really do text-mode pseudo-graphics at all, or even cursor addressing, on philosophical grounds.

I have been using Unix for 25+ years and I just learned about the status character in shells (often ^T). Huh.

This was macOS. I don’t really use gnu. Of course, it’s also not on Plan 9, the system I know best.
The GSoC application period is closed, and Plan 9’s is in. Now the waiting.
Plan 9’s GSoC application is now in. 🎉
I’m unclear if I’m going to do the twtxt.net discovery protocol; neither my web server nor Plan 9’s default capture agent strings. :-/
My silly Plan 9 rc twtxt client now has a web page: http://txtpunk.com/tw/index.html
@prologic@twtxt.net rc, the Plan 9 shell.
Announcing the Plan 9 Foundation — http://p9f.org/ — https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T973ff41a99053355/plan-9-foundation
Started the #gsoc application for Plan 9 yesterday morning; spun up a new cpu server last night; poking at it today. I miss being able to spend more time on this.
On the up side: I got my first successful comunication over i2c on Plan 9 on a Raspberry Pi today! Looking forward to playing with that more.

H’m. Can ssh to the router, but not between boxes. iptables-fu is weak. Happily, Day 9 of /r/linuxupskillchallenge is very topical!
