Re: [9fans] Octopus viewer?
I might have been not so specific. I'll try once more. I dispatched the command on the terminal's olive window: !cp DSCN1549.jpg /mnt/view Nothing happens. Hoever, on the terminal's local window where octopus command was dispatched, I see tow lines of messages of: sh: plumbing write error: no matching plumb rule view: cmd plumb /usr/octopus/tmp/view.2.DSCN1549.jpg Then, I hided the olive window, and inferno's shell window raised, and examined ls -l /tmp on the inferno's sh window. Here, I can find the file of view.2.DSCN1549.jpg. However, lc /usr/octopus/tmp shows nothing but error. /usr/okamoto/tmp, neither. Then I think the arrorwd line above shows that the program tryed to do plumb the file on a wrong place, because of confusion of namespaces. Kenji /mnt/view is used for that. open in olive will use it when in a terminal. I tried this, but fails.
Re: [9fans] Octopus viewer?
Sorry, I missed the previous mail. To avoid noise for 9fans, can you let me know off-list which OS are you using on the PC and on the terminal and I'll try to help? For what you say I think that your plumber might not be configured or that something happen with the configuration file after view tried to plumb it. In the worst case I can just send you my configuration files :) On May 8, 2012, at 8:23 AM, kokam...@hera.eonet.ne.jp wrote: I might have been not so specific. I'll try once more.

[9fans] Starting a blog on plan 9
Hi there! I am trying to get involved more with plan 9 but having some trouble finding resources on it that are all in one place. I have started a blog so that I can add resources to make things more simple for new users, and for the community in general. What do people think about this? You can find the link to this here: http://plan9docs.wordpress.com/ Any feedback would be much appreciated.

I love it! Thanks for the work you put into this, hands-on experience is always good. Hi there!

Re: [9fans] Starting a blog on plan 9
This looks pretty well done - a good beginner's hands-on view to getting to know the system. In the interest of addressing the resources ... all in one place issue, though, I would encourage you to also contribute to the wiki[1]. I'm not suggesting everything you're putting on your blog belongs on the wiki (the wiki isn't really good for the sort of narrative sense good blogs give), but it is the best place for centralized resources. There is a wiki page with instructions on how to edit it[2].

It does make things easier to translate into a textual blog format, without having to worry about the windows. On the other hand, without the graphical interface, sam is really just a super-enhanced ed(1), which is certainly useful in itself but (in my opinion) not as convenient. You might also consider making some youtube videos if you feel confident enough; I made a few some years back and they were generally well-received by the random youtubers who found them. Just please make sure the things you're talking about are accurate--spreading bad information about Plan 9 is worse than doing nothing :) john

I think that is all so, and I'm not necessarily trying to defend its problems, but on the same note, similar assumptions are also make about int, and it can be argued that int_fast* etc just become par for that course, especially given that there may be command line arguments allowing the user to give some of these things a poke so to speak. And this is not alone in those kinds of things (which are probably not even really engineering compromises), for instance, take malloc. -- Greg Comeau / 4.3.10.1 with C++0xisms now in beta!

Could you elaborate on your choice of using sam -d? Agree, 'sam -d' is not an entry-level choice.
