🛸 Introduction To Plan 9
｢ Plan 9 is a research operating system from the same group who created UNIX at Bell Labs Computing Sciences Research Center (CSRC). It emerged in the late 1980s, and its early development coincided with continuing development of the later versions of Research UNIX ｣
｢ Plan 9 can be seen as an attempt to push some of the same ideas that informed UNIX even further into the era of networking and graphics. Rob Pike has described Plan 9 as "an argument" for simplicity and clarity, while others have described it as "UNIX, only moreso." ｣

"...and uh, the most advanced operating system."
“It’s called UNIX."
Stanley Kubrick definitely would have been a Plan 9 user.
Thompson says Plan 9 "the best operating system out there" but will "never make it, ever, ever"

I gave my “Intro to Plan 9” talk this past Thursday and I think it went pretty well. The video is now up on YT if you’d like to check it out.

Day 9 of Advent of Type brings a font i've mentioned before but have now renamed Peter (it sits alongside Clive forming the "boring man-names" collection). It's Pellucida (from Plan 9) with Peter's face as the pixel (that's Peter J. Weinberger). At U+2400 is SYMBOL FOR NUL which in this Pellucida is a tiny version of Peter's face.
