I don't know.  cinap tried to teach me.  He's a good teacher, but he couldn't help me.  Things are looking up now I'm trying to improve my life generally, dealing with sources of stress instead of trying to block them out with a million distractions.  I'm cutting back to one hobby.  Unfortunately, it's not Plan 9, but it will share some ideas and I intend to make it run on Plan 9 when it runs at all.  Anyway, one hobby means anyone trying to get me to work on Plan 9 would be up against some stiff competition. :)
