Thank you for your off-list advice, Mr jmk. I will visit the toy store after band practice. What model do you recommend? I have been saving my pocket money for just such a purpose. You seem to be very good at Plan9. How do I learn such things? I'm a newbie. Do you play Unreal Tournament? I heard a rumour that it is used at Bell Labs. I am still a bit confused about the cost of Plan9. I don't want to be using a pirated copy, as I might get grounded. Also is qemu part of Inferno?

Re: [9fans] Web interface to '/n/sources/contrib' gone??
All parody aside, Bruce, the service did exist at one point, and it existed because it was useful to enough people for the labs to make it and set it up. It's been available for several years. Hiccups aside, it's a bummer that it's down for so long. At this point, I'd think it would be obvious that there are people other than the 5 of us who actually have a Plan 9 machine to drawterm into or an easily-accessible 9vx instance. Even despite the fact that I *do* have access to Plan 9 machines and that I *do* have access to 9vx instances, I find myself looking at the web-exported source during times it would be infeasible for me to access them (while I'm at work, for instance). This is the same thread that comes through 9fans monthly -- - ``What happened to X?'' = ``Screw X'' - ``But I actually use X'' = ``Who cares'' = ``X sucks and so do you'' = ``Go blow goats, etc.'' I can appreciate the humor, but not at the expense of dismissing the problem. If the labs don't want to keep the thing running, great, someone else can sync with sources and provide that interface. So, let's change the question: ``Labs guys, is that thing dead, and should we set another one up -- or are we back in another hiccup period?'' ``Mockery is easy. Helping people is hard.'' It amuses me that, having come up with such a degrading rant about wanting to access sources via HTTP, you're sending email on your proverbial Nintendo Lego blocks. --dho
