So I invite you to take a trip down the rabbit hole with me.
Background; my partner is a mental health professional and works with individual
s who have schizophrenia. My parents were minsters in The Salvation Army, which
most don't even know is a church...
I think thats why I have gotten wrapped up in this rabbit hole. At any rate, I i
nvite you to checkout:
TEMPLEOS.ORG
|__>>> You should click on Archive.org underneath the download link.
|__>>> You should watch the videos, if so inclined, about this guy Terry A. Davi
s... he was a man. He was an engineer. He was a software and simpleOS designer,
working for TicketMaster in the early 90s when we were wrapped up in BBSes. He w
as mentally ill. He committed suicide; jumped in front of a train, although his
friends will say that he was struck by a train...
|__>>> You should learn that he had a woman in his life; well, so he thought...
but actually in the end, so did she. :P Everyone else thought he was full of it
tho.. at any rate, you should read her current (2019 anyway) blog about installi
ng TempleOS-- https://christine.website/blog/templeos-1-installation-and-basic-u
se-2019-05-20
|__>>> You should load TempleOS in a VM... and you should DIG in. I mean, if so
inclined...
So I'm more prone to be aware of mental health issues; and this guy literally wr
ote his own OS - and inside of it there is TONS of wild, crazy, wacky and yes -
useless- rants. But man...
It really shows me that these folks have a lot to offer society... if we don't c
ast them aside long enough for them not to throw themselves in front of a moving
train.
This guys OS sucks; but has a lot in there... theres a decompiler, theres code,
theres rants and raves in every last inch of the code. It's about 85,000 lines..
so you get the jest. 640x480 16 colors - but TONS of info inside.
And, you can code inside of it too.. if you can figure out how to get thru insta
ll, and the tour, and coding - you can play like 10 of his games; theres videos
buried inside of it - theres so much text that you can get inside of a mentalliy
ill mans head. So sure; maybe its a hard pass from you... but man, I'm amazed a
t the depth of knowledge inside heads of those that we pass on the street...
It has been a fun Sunday of digging for me.. I hope you are interested in the st
ory of Terry A. Davis too... theres more here than just the flashing lights.
Wow.
