I second this.  I've found those posts to be amazingly good.

I personally like the inferno programmers notebook style - it's a nice way of documenting tips and tricks as well as introducing quick and dirty apps.  I've long thought it a shame we don't have something similar for Plan 9.

When I was learning FreeBSD I found this site helpful:
http://www.freebsddiary.org/

I think the thing that really makes the FreeBSD Diary work is a
lack of grand ambitions.  The guy who maintains it doesn't try to
cover everything, and generally doesn't try to explain things he
doesn't understand.  He doesn't normally try to update old entries,
and often goes months without doing anything.  But he has been
doing this for 12 years now, and has accumulated a good collection
of articles.  As far as I can tell, whenever he needs to do something
moderately complicated which is not well documented, he makes notes
and then describes how he did things and posts it.

It would be nice to have something like that for plan9.
