Heh. When logged on, at least on the default theme (which I have), your picture is shown on the right side, not the left

[JohnnyTheDon]

Oh, I don't have the default theme. Whoops.

[Troy Martin]

Ain't I an odd-lookin' one?

Too bad you couldn't see what I was doing on my laptop at the time: That's why I quickly computer-edited it!

Well that's a crappy insert.

[Love4Boobies]

Heh... We've got kids coding OSes. And they say programming is hard...

[VolTeK]

i dont think it is, its really like one big program. just build the components

[Troy Martin]

its really like one big program.

Yes and no, you do create a hell of a big program, but you have to write EVERYTHING yourself, even if you're using the BIOS in real mode.

[Love4Boobies]

We're getting OT here, but I'm curious why you've chosen that design... sure, it's backwards-compatible and it's easier to write - maybe hobby OSes are not necessarily meant to be that complicated, it depends on the author. However, there's a lot of stuff you're missing out on; as for the backwards-compatible thing... do you know anyone who owns a PC that doesn't have pmode? Also note that there can also be bugs in firmware...

[VolTeK]

troy: you get what i mean


and yes ot, lets resume what was started, next photo please

[Love4Boobies]

next photo please

Let the next be yours

[Troy Martin]

do you know anyone who owns a PC that doesn't have pmode?

Nope, your point?

Also note that there can also be bugs in firmware...

Yeah, but finding a workaround for those bugs is fun.

[Love4Boobies]

My point is that I would want my OS to work on current hardware, not arhaic hardware. Don't get me wrong, I'm not telling you what to do; a hobby is supposed to be fun If you want to design for the 80186 that's great. Not my first choice but you shouldn't give a damn about that

[Troy Martin]

I just love screwing with things that the average joe (even the average programmer) doesn't have a clue what it is but appreciates it anyways.

[Love4Boobies]

That pretty much sums up OS development altogether.

[Troy Martin]

Yep.

Back to the photos (and looking at the big bold link in my signature please!)
