I learned today that Terry died. There is mist in my eyes and pain in my heart. I wish I could have helped him.

Sorry Terry, you were born with a loaded gun. I wish we could have healed you. I wish we could have taken care of you. I wish you were still here to share your gift with the world.

I’ll install Temple OS on a Raspi in your honor and memory.

I sincerely enjoyed Terry A. Davis' videos on youtube. Yes, You need to actively remember that you are dealing with a person with severe and possibly badly treated/untreated mental illness, and I say this because of the random bouts of aggressiveness and also blatant use of curse words such as n*gger and etc. Also his very skewed political views and whatnot. But if you can keep that in mind ("I am dealing with a sick…

I'd love to take those videos and turn them into proper coherent blogposts. That's my main goal for the rest of this series.

I don't like running TempleOS on hardware or in a full fledged VM(Seems like overkill). I would like to make an alternate virtual machine to run TempleOs programs on, in Javascript using a Canvas element for UI. I am unsure if there are constructs which TempleOS uses which are unrepresentable in a virtual machine built inside of a javascript virtual machines - like threads, interrupts, etc. I think events could be wi…

There is no reason why this couldn't be done, AFAIK. You can run QEMU in a web browser [0], although it could be interesting to see a webassembly port. It would be an interesting experience to scroll such an article with live, interactive VMs snapshoted at different stages instead of static images. [0]: https://bellard.org/jslinux/

I'd love to do that! Let's see what can be done :)

You can't really experience the true TempleOS flavor without the hardware speaker beeping RNG-based hymns.

Man I miss Terry. His live streams were fascinating, often sprinkled with real insights among the insanity. Shame it all ever unfolded the way it did.

As I don't have time to go through his oevre could you perhaps pass on to us a few insights of his? TIA

- Less is more

- Context switching doesn't have to be expensive

- Compatibility is nice, but so is speed

- Know your codebase well enough to be able to jump to random parts of it and explain what is going on

It seems like there is ample opportunity for someone to issue a more polished TempleOS with a little less idiosyncrasy and a little more userland but still preserve the quick and dirty feel, the tightly integrated compiler and runtime and the minimal separation from the metal that makes it unique.

TempleOS is written in x86-64 assembly and won't run on a Raspi. Try a VM!

Indeed. That algorithmic music is something else... each time I hear it I don't know what to say and I used to create experimental electronic music all the time...
