It's December ============= It's December. This year is special (you know, the 2020 us crazy) but in principle everything will be as usual: the first part of December (until 23rd) will be hectic (all these deadlines accompanied by usual chaos and masses of hysteric people) and then everything will be very slow. All shops and pubs have been opened here from last Thursday so the next COVID-19 has to be expected. I thing that I will have little time for my phlog until the end of they year. I already have writen some phlog post on my Z88 but now I have to find time to transfer upload and publish them. Other news: At least no I have an emulated Plan 9 instance (the 9front/i386) with a working Gopher client (I found one at Github). The problem is that I have not set up my QEMU networking correctly so I have network issues (even the FTP is not reliable) so I cannot use the Gopher as much as I want. I'm planing that I will try install the 9front on a Lenovo x60 which seems to be supported. But I expect that I will able to install it in January, 2020 at best. I also have to find it's docking station with the CD-ROM first (I already prepared the installation CD). I also have a Dallas RTC chip replacement for my SGI O2 (and for the Octane, too) but I'm still not brave enough to touch a SGI workstation. Written on the SiliconGraphics IRIS Indigo R3k.
