Hi everyone,
I've been lurking for the past few months and I've really enjoyed
reading the messages from this list. I'm looking for some ideas or
advice---here's the story: I'm pursuing a Master's degree in computer
science at a small school with limited options for classes. I'm
enrolled in a graduate-level course in distributed systems, but the
material isn't on my level. The professor understands my predicament
and might allow me to do an independent study on the subject, but I
would need something specific to work on. I would love to do something
with Plan 9...I'm just not sure what. Compare and contrast it with
other systems? Find a novel use for 9P?
I'm not very good at coming up with creative topics, so any thoughts
or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I tend to think quite a bit less on the computational and server side
of things than everyone else, but might I suggest dabbling in Audio IO?
-Justin
P.S. In what seems to be a grave injustice, the textbook only mentions
Plan 9 on one page, and only points out the per-process namespaces and
the ability to merge directories with bind. Absolutely nothing on 9P.
Argh!
Blasphemy!.. Well, at least you had material that mentioned anything
other than Microsoft and Apple... Not even IBM, wtf is up with that?
