For those who don't know, this was created by HN member losetheOS aka SparrowOS. You won't see his comments unless you shave ShowDead enabled in your profile, as many people find his comments confusing.
Terry is schizophrenic and this sometimes make communications tricky, but I'm in awe of how he's developed a complete operating environment from scratch and which is quite different from anything else I'm aware of. Also, I really appreciated the insight this video gave into his motivations for the OS and how he uses it. Thanks for uploading the video Terry, and to morganwilde for posting it on HN.
That's a quick summary. I've been casually following the developments of this project for a while now ever since it showed up on the radar of OSDev and from there Something Awful which has a talent for curating the uniquely surreal.
It's an achievement on the scale of Henry Darger's collection (http://www.folkartmuseum.org/darger) and perhaps stands alone as an example of "outsider art" in the world of operating system design.
Thanks for the link. It really helped me gain a deep appreciation of the person behind all the dead links and to understand what an amazing Hacker he is.
I found this in the comment thread under the recent post on writing a kernel. I think it was Terry himself that put up the link there. The amount of work and knowledge required to do what he did is just astonishing.
