Re: [9fans] Understanding /dev/draw

> Does anyone know if David is still active in this space? Hi Chris, I'm still lurking the list, but I haven't touched this code in years. The basic drawing ops are alright but layers are maybe quarter baked. All of it is hacky student code written in a sort of lowest common denominator of

Re: [9fans] [OFF-TOPIC] It is true that is impossible write in binary code, the lowest level of programming that you can write is in hexadecimal code?

It's certainly possible! If your machine doesn't have those cool front panel toggle switches, just use this simple compiler: #include u.h #include libc.h void main(void) { char buf[8]; int i; char c; while(read(0, buf, 8) == 8){ c = 0;

[9fans] [gsoc] web drawterm - getting started

Hi everyone, I'm happy to be back this summer! I'll be continuing work on my web drawterm from last year. The first phase is a cleanup of the graphics code. Some draw(3) operations do not work properly, and many of them have graphical alignment issues. This will go hand-in-hand with a

Re: [9fans] 9atom usb image

Here's a procedure that worked for me. - download new usbinstamd64.bz2 from 9atom.org - boot it up, run through the installer - answer no to ``build full amd64 set?'' - answer no to ``halt system?'' - mount new disk's 9fat and copy over /386/9paed - edit plan9.ini to boot 9paed This will boot up

Re: [9fans] 9atom usb image

there is something odd here. I agree. where do the 386 executables come from? they're not on the usb key. It has some in /386/bin. it's also hard to explain that the usb key 64-bit kernel works just fine, but doesn't (i happen to know) appear to boot from your hard drive. The usb key's

[9fans] GSoC proposal - Improvements to the HTML5 draw server

Hello 9fans, I'm applying to the Plan 9 GSoC again this year. I propose to continue work on the HTML5 drawterm I started in last year's GSoC, in the hope of making it a usable alternative to the native drawterm. I have identified three major areas for improvement: * cleaning up and fixing bugs

[9fans] [GSOC] graphics projects

project for the whole summer. I have the opposite concern about the Web /dev/draw; would it be acceptable to move some of the logic to the Go client rather than use it as a dumb proxy? I am not sure what division of labour I would settle on here. Thanks, -- David Hoskin r...@davidrhoskin.com

Re: [9fans] snapshot fails to boot

If I can figure out how to build the new bootloader from my 2008 install, I can have a try at seeing where it fails - any pointers to get started / where to try first? update: The new cd does boot on another computer, so I can use it for compiling, rather than working from the 2008 system.
