AUTISTIC PRIDE

When I get bored, instead of watching TV or playing vidya games, i start writing operating systems. Its just a hobby of mine. The first operating system I wrote used a monolithic kernel which unitasked and used 16bit protected segmentation. Over the years I began to write increasingly complicated operating systems, and the latest one I wrote includes a paging memory manager with support for PAE, a ring-one driver framework, custom executable format (dynamic library support too), custom filesystem with ACL's and a Realtek RTL8100 ethernet driver (did I mention the TCP/IPv4 stack and web browser?). When I look back at all the time I could have spent playing vidya games and watching the same TV shows over and over again, I realise why it takes some people years or even decades to learn what I have mastered within only two years. Popular media is the greatest threat to mankind

So /prog/,
WHERE'S YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM? HUH? HUH?

I single-handedly developed and published a dizzying array of Operating Systems - presiding over every inch of every project, from the design and programming through to the graphics and music. From that vantage point, I was able to turn my hand to the ideas I had always wanted to see - delivering innovative concepts that simply could not be found anywhere else. Free from the shackles of a bureaucratic team, I also worked at a blistering pace - churning out a steady flow of deeply personal projects. The highlight of which was the Realtek RTL8100 ethernet driver, which is still regarded as one of the best wrestling simulators ever made and is attended to by its own dedicated fan community. As a long-time fan of ethernet drivers, it was an honor to make my own contribution to the genre.

Rather predictably, my sincere efforts were denounced as "blasphemy" by the pious - whilst the ignorant masses howled with derision and attempted to make me the laughing stock of the Internet. Nevertheless, it was a fitting end for a trailblazing career that divided opinion like no other! Everything about me was designed to provoke a reaction. My amateurish efforts were easy to criticize, my solitary decisions were easy to question, my passionate words were easy to misinterpret, and even my name was asking to be ridiculed! But like all paths of least resistance, that route was only taken by the foolish. Those that took the bait revealed their lower natures, whereas those that saw the good in my work were pure diamonds that were shining the light back. They were the bricks that built the MPire, and it is to them that I dedicate all that was accomplished.

Every industry has one. The free-thinking rebel that redefines the rules. He says what no-one else will say and does what no-one else will do. Fueled by raw passion, he seizes an art form by the throat and drags it to its apex. What they invented, he makes it sing. His peers hate him but the public love his style. At once he intimidates and inspires; breaking down the walls that secure some yet block others.

Where's yours? Believe it or not, it doesn't take two years of experience to lie about your accomplishments anonymously on a  message board.

Fuck your crazy PAE. PSE is where it's at

36 bit addresses give me hives

AMD makes use of bits 13-20 in a given page directory entry as bits 32-39 of the PTE offset allowing addressing of a theoretical 1TB of memory
