GSOC requires public communications, but I'm entirely unhappy passing "did you check bit 11 of the VPN register" level of crap to 9fans - it's clearly not where it belongs (I believe it belongs in private email, but that's another matter). Plan9-tech was a (possibly ill-named) place to drop those messages. Frankly, my post-mortem on gsoc won't be very nice. I should never have accepted to work with a student 9 timezones away, even if the project is really interesting. And I certainly could have poured arbitrary amounts of time into it, but I'm really unsure where the line is between the student's project and my own (essentially recreational) coding.
