+# old computer challenge 4: day 9
+
+the challenge has been over for almost a day now.
+i was thrown off in quite a few places going back to my regular
+setup. i grew used to `rio`, and `plan9port`'s `rio` is
+
+1. janky
+2. laggy
+3. lacking window swallowing
+
+i really like automatic window swallowing.
+i'm working on getting it set up.
+my main laptop lacks any physical buttons,
+which is throwing me off.
+i am again considering getting a thinkpad X200 or something.
+
+the plumber is fucked if you need to plumb a file name
+with spaces in it. i do not feel like putting in the
+annoying amount of effort to fix it.
+
+plan9port, like 9front, does not have any support for
+fallback fonts. maybe there's a program or something that
+merges font files together, because that's basically the
+one thing that is stopping me from mostly switching from
+`vi` to `sam`.
+
+i like `sam`. i'm writing this in plan9port's `sam` right now.
+i would try out `acme` but i would like to
+get the p9p plumber configured first, which may be a challenge
+because i have a shit load of files with spaces in the name.
+also mouse chording was a shit idea and you can't do them at all
+on a touchpad without physical buttons.
