Thank you for the reply. Of course I should've tried #plan9 - I must've switched off higher reasoning. Too excited to play Plan 9 again perhaps? Of another question, do many members of the list run Plan 9 on VIA systems? We all know their support for Linux can be a bit woeful, but they say (in the

I think this list and #plan9 on freenode are your best options. I don't believe many people are using the 9gridchan stuff directly at this point, but all the fundamentals are the same as any other Plan 9 system. It may require a bit of poking, but I'm sure folks in one of those two places can help

On Plan 9 use bind to create yourself a nice hierarchy. Like 'bind -a /Users/jimr /me' or similar. Not sure how easy that is under *nix with p9p, haven't tried that yet. And your /Users makes me think you're on Mac. Robby On Tue, Aug 27, 2013 at 2:04 PM, James A. Robinson < j...@highwire.stanf

[9fans] acme label lengths in tags

2013-08-27 Thread James A. Robinson
Do you folks have any solutions to shortening the length of labels in acme? Back when I used Wily it had a nice feature to use environment variables if it found a match, e.g., one could set h=/Users/jimr and wily would show $h instead of /Users/jimr in the tag. Anyone know of similar techniques i
