(sorta offtopic) Does anyone remember a cloud storage service based on 9p? At least I think it was based on 9p. Or written by plan9 (fossil, venti) enthusiasts.

It's name was Rangoon. (I think). It even pre-dated Dropbox.

That was Rangboom from 9netics[1]. Archive link because the site now serves a very narrowly-focused photographic art installation.

Their later effort was called "9p cloud."[2]

Wasn't that brucee's gig for a while? I remember they had written a windows 9p client which is hen's teeth now, but I remember it working well.

Yep, brucee has (or had) a 9netics email address.
