Awesome to see it so far along!

I've been interested in OS dev since my teenage years. I remember reading about BeOS in 2005 and wanting to run it. I didn't even have the internet so that wasn't going to happen.

I am extremely intimidated but I've been working through some of the tutorials on the osdev wiki.

How much did you know about OS theory before you started on this?

I think I read computing history to live vicariously through the greats of our industry. Right at the end of high school I read "Revolution in the Valley" the story of the first Apple Macintosh and its amazing to think people not too different in job from myself accomplished something so revolutionary.

In my day job I spend my time adding components to a company's website. It pays my bills and keeps a (comfortable) roof over my daughter's head but I'm under no illusion that going this route will accomplish anything that puts a dent in the universe like these legends of industry.
