It got me to thinking, there isn't a single document that look at the design decisions in early Unix, what inspired them and what has lasted over time. I was going to write a paper on it, but then I realised that it was probably beyond me. text/html 2015-12-31T19:56:51+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://wiki.tuhs.org/doku.php?id=blog:bowing_out_from_oztivo&rev=1451591811&do=diff Bowing Out from OzTiVo 13th December 2015 I'm making my final exit from the OzTiVo community by relinquishing ownership and control of www.oztivo.net.

Today I finally got around to updating the top level pages on the web site. That means that the web spiders might find this blog, and thus you might be the first person to actually read this stuff.

Argh! I knew that Dennis Ritchie had these documents, but I'd assumed that they had been lost of disposed of when dmr passed away.

I'm really impressed with the speed at which the PDP-7 Unix restoration team has got things up and going. My user-mode simulator is going well. Phil Budne has taken over the care of the assembler and he's also written a shell. I've written tools to make, populate and check the filesystem. text/html 2022-09-16T08:50:41+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://wiki.tuhs.org/doku.php?id=blog:start&rev=1663318241&do=diff Warren's Blog: Musings on Computers and Such February 2016 Bringing PDP-7 Unix back to life (28th February 2016) A Wiimote Whiteboard (16th February 2016) December 2015 A Wiki for Unix (31st December 2015) My Mailbox is Full!
