gopher: Add notes on the current status of plan9 install

More than the musings about how I should debug these problems,
I think writing what's currently the state will be important
if I want to pick it up in the future!

 The date is still 4hr off, so sourcehut rendered the commit as "3hr in
 the future" :) whoops!

+Time travel! Look at me! haha I figured out my 4hr issue.
+Turns out my bios time was UTC but when I booted into 9front
+it thought it was EDT (since that's my locale). Now
+date -u and friends work as expected. I feel a bit silly
+not checking sooner.
+
+Other known issues to sortstats night:
+
+* I have to execute the following (src/res.sh) each boot
+  to get the right screen resolution--add to startup script?
+  or /cfg/plan9.ini?
+
+    @{rfork n; aux/realemu; aux/vga -m vesa -l 1366x768x16}
+
+* Battery doesn't show in stats(8) despite having apm0= and
+  *acpi= in /cfg/plan9.ini
+
+* Suspend on laptop lid close doesn't work (should it?)
+
+* /lib/firmware isn't mounted at boot time -> no wifi drivers
+  -> I have to run the following to join my network each time
+  I boot (src/net.sh):
+
+	bind -a '#l1' /net
+	aux/wpa -p -2 -s <NetworkName> /net/ether1
+	ip/ipconfig ether /net/ether1
+
+I think if I'm serious about making use of this system (beyond
+the just poking around for fun / seeing how it feels), I'll need
+to pour over the fqa in detail, read more man pages, and maybe
+search around the community spaces. It's been a real fun "can you
+boot it" challenge, and I've already been inspired by some of
+the design philosophy, but I'm clearly very green at getting
+anything working.
