Re: JamesM made Hacker News
And now he's made OSNews: http://www.osnews.com/story/24268/Roll_ ... X-clone_OS
Re: JamesM made Hacker News
And reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/com ... ld_kernel/
Did someone submit to all three sites in one day? my analytics has gone from 200 hits per day to 3000! :/

Re: JamesM made Hacker News
Lots of interest on reddit on the subject lately, I think it stemmed from a LoseThOS thread. I know someone linked a really barebones bootloader overview for MikeOS or something recently. JameM's tutorials are generally highly regarded and viewed as a more updated and thorough overview of writing a kernel, because they are. I'm sure the extra free time around the holidays has given some inquiring minds a chance to research the topic of OS development as well. At any rate kudos James on the well deserved recognition for your tutorials!

Re: JamesM made Hacker News
It seems to happen every few years, someone resubmits it... do you even maintain it anymore JamesM? a lot of sites claim it's a Unix clone, but it hardly seems to be.
Re: JamesM made Hacker News
I do not maintain it. I rewrote the code but not the overlying documentation and explanation, so although that's hosted on googlecode it never made it back to the main site.Brynet-Inc wrote:It seems to happen every few years, someone resubmits it... do you even maintain it anymore JamesM? a lot of sites claim it's a Unix clone, but it hardly seems to be.
Which is a pity, looking at the state of the tutorial. Ah well. I advertise(d) it as a UNIX-clone, because that's what it was intended to be when finished. Never got finished
Re: JamesM made Hacker News
The way you handle your VFS and mountpoints in it makes it pretty unixy IMO.

Re: JamesM made Hacker News
It might be a good idea to update the site and "clarify" the situation a bit more, so it may persuade people from getting prematurely excited.
Not that it isn't an interesting..

Re: JamesM made Hacker News
No JamesM found in there...
Re: JamesM made Hacker News
Yes there is. Developer News, third item.
Every good solution is obvious once you've found it.
