I am sorry, off topic, but I would be thankful for any tips for running Plan 9 in VirtualBox (or any other VM). I enjoyed playing but without any internet access it lacked the fun.
I haven't tried it in any VM, this is bare metal on an old 686 PC. I used 9front rather than Plan9 proper, the most recent image from 5/15/15.
Just another plan9 (9front) screenshot, with the following apps:
colors: current system colors memory: memory usage ups/fedex/usps: type the service plus the tracking number, get an update weather: type 'weather' plus 3-letter airport code, get the weather ps: running processes

I have a bash script that will get a very simple "now temp and conditions" based on your ISP - not mine I found it on the net:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
# weatherbang.sh version 1.0, 2013 by Ryan Fantus
# Conky weather script, automagically geolocates your IP to find city/state/
# country info, and then fetches your weather info from openweathermap.
# A TON of this was stolen directly from Frederic Cambus, thanks!
# jq required for use: http://stedolan.github.io/jq/
# User configurables below:
# Uncomment this line for fahrenheit:
#metric='imperial' && unit='F'
# Otherwise comment above line, uncomment here for celcius:
metric='metric' && unit='C'
# First, geolocate our IP:
ipinfo=$(curl -s ipinfo.io)
latlong=$(echo $ipinfo | jq -r '.loc')
# Parse the latitude and longitude into their own values
lat=${latlong,*}
long=${latlong#*,}
weather=$(curl -s http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather\?lat\=${lat}\&lon\=${long}\&units\=${metric})
city=$(echo $weather | jq -r '.name')
temperature=$(printf '%.0f' $(echo $weather | jq '.main.temp'))
condition=$(echo $weather | jq -r '.weather[0].main')
#echo -n "$city - $condition: "
#echo $temperature $unit
echo -n " $temperature $unit - $condition"
Top line of my test.conky ... didn't bother with city, I know where I am
@ John VV - "make" backgrounds - that one is awesome, I like it - excellent work.
@ JWJones - Thank you will look at that too. Maybe - if it will reside on a partition with Linux - I'll give it a run - looks interesting. I {cough cough} like the plane OOPS!, it rotates - plane here
