Question about which tools to use, bugs, the best way to implement a function, etc should go here. Don't forget to see if your question is answered in the wiki first! When in doubt post here.

Just for the clarification, my Facebook bio says I go to "college." It's just a difference of terminology. Here in Pakistan, high school is called "college" and college is called "university."

Let's ask iansjack about this
Yes, it's likely he is the oldest here. But since he is retired, he doesn't have to go to work, so he has much more time than people at around 30-40 years.
Finally I have something to show.
Trying variable-width font.

Too bad the font is actually a PFF2 bitmap font, created from a TTF using grub-mkfont.
I'm at work on my kernel's scheduler, and i'm beginning to feel the way Elanore Semaphore must during her trying times.
Currently i'm just trying to get my multilevel feedback queue implementation to actually choose things in the right order based on priority.

I fit that bracket and can confirm that it's hard to find time for this.
However, I just got my 64-bit rewrite to boot to usermode (upper case letters from kernel boot stages, lower case from the usermode service crt0 and main):

Actually the other options were even worse: "snot otter", "devil dog", "mud-devil", "grampus", "allegheny alligator", "mud dog", "water dog", or "leverian water newt". So I think the name stays.
Weirdly enough, I saw this pop up in active threads and for some unrelated reason just earlier today I had been browsing through your source. I thought it was really cool, of all the random things, the way you're using the name of your OS as both a boot canary and a kind of artistic splash. Pretty creative. Reminds me of the Haiku boot splash in that way.
When you get further along, you must promise me that you will do this all pretty like in VESA or VGA compatibility mode or something.
My Cpcdos OSx kernel (booted in usb) with 3D hardware&CPU rendering (Directly on screen pointer for this video) in FreeBasic/C/C++14. The 3D graphic engine was wrote in c++11 by my friend
With some bugs..
