ABOUT

This site describes projects I work on in my spare time. These projects are dedicated to the Inferno OS, an open source, compact, distributed operating system.

notebook

In August 2004 I started writing the Inferno programmer's notebook, a lab notebook of all my experiments in the Inferno programming environment.

I use Inferno for fun. The sessions I describe in the notebook take place at home, in the evenings, usually Monday to Friday 9:00pm to 11:30pm. This isn't always enough time to get a lot done so some of the tasks may seem quite trivial.

This is my leisure time so I want to exploit to the fullest the freedoms that I have. That is, I am not driven by any economic imperative or requirement that my experiments should lead to something of practical value.

Acme

The Acme : Stand Alone Complex is a programmer's editor, shell, and user interface. Originally written by Rob Pike, and ported to Inferno by Vitanuova, my project is a derivative of the Inferno OS using Acme as the main user interface.
