I wonder if there's an Athens in the country Georgia.
That would make the confusion whole.

Thanks to Erik for the compliments concerning iwp9 :-)
I am glad you enjoyed the workshop and thank you for your comments throughout the workshop.
As I like flying, I would actually consider flying into the local Athens Airport, IATA: AHN, ICAO: KAHN
(IATA uses 3 letter codes - that is the codes used, e.g., on your baggage tags. All commercial airports have an IATA code. ICAO uses a 4 letter code, which is used to identify
airfields, e.g., in flight plans. All airports and most smaller airfields have an ICAO code. Farm strips and often do not.)
Pacific Wings has two daily flights between the local airport and Atlanta Hartsfield.

Greeks should be proud being so famous. Without sign of Athens in
Near East's Georgia.
This days GPS coordinates are a must ;-).

Americans aren't really creative with their city names.
They should learn from the welsh. :)

consonants are silent :) On the other hand, I
always thought Bucksnort, Tennessee was pretty
creative... Well, maybe creative is too strong
a word---unusual, at least.

i've always named machines after interesting
place names. i've got a very long list of names
to pick from.
minooka, tyty, dupo, trion, kibbiee, blue earth, etc.
our current file server is named "wrens", after wrens, georgia.

way to drive a ground vehicle within a 50-mile radius without getting

the main reason i subscribe to 9fans is the geography lessons.
how about: Tacoma, Puyallup, Enumclaw, Sealth (Seattle) and George all
in Washington state.

government covers the smallest county in georgia.
there is no point in athens that is much more than
15 km from downtown.
further, i have never heard anyone complain that
the police make traffic stops for no reason.
mind the rules of the road, and you'll be fine.
that being said, there's a nice shuttle that is cheeper and
easier than driving or renting a car. that's how i go.

Thanks for putting up the proceedings.
The extension described in "a light-weight non-hierarchical filesystem navigation extension" paper sounds a bit like zsh's ** extension. In zsh a/**/b matches all existing paths with prefix a and suffix b, where a and b can be arbitrary subpaths. So for example
wc sys/src/**/*.[ch]
To wc all .c and .h files under sys/src. Zsh added many more extensions to pick files but ** is the most useful one.

some pages in the procedings pdf took like
5 minutes to render in ghostscript on my t23.
i was disappointed when the resulting image
did not show a complete quantum double slit
exact photon traced map of the whole internet.
