Hello!
Welcome to my plan9 (but really 9front) personal journey/blog. IDK really how to write shit like this so, in place of anything profound i can provide at this point, all i have to say is big ups to everyone who has kept plan9 alive this long so that I, as a UNIX scrub, can experience its elegance.

My personal hardware
X230T (dedicated 9front laptop)
THis is my pride and joy. I got it from ebay for £50 (42 + shipping) with no hard drive and a bios lock. I cleaned up, zapped the security chip with some tweezers and stuck the hard drive from another laptop in there and BOOM, a fully functional (and touch enabled!) 9front machine. It is a little on the weaker side as cpu and ram goes (Only 8gb at ddr3-1333mhz), but if i really wanted a workhorse i wouldnt be running 9front on it lol
HP Laptop (CPU/Auth/FS server / occasional aio terminal)
This wonderful machine, at least whats left of it, served as my CPU server. Its only an old A series chip, and dual core at that, but it gets the job done and hey, any learning experience is good. It taught me not only how to setup a 9front cpu server, but also to never buy another laptop from HP.
Dell Inspiron 2560 (shits and giggles / sometimes "diskless" terminal)
This is a laptop from 2000. Its pretty low on RAM, only 256mb, and the battery isnt supported in 9front as its an early ACPI implementation, so keeping it around is pretty much a novelty, and it runs a small void linux install most of the time as a result.
