OSDev.org

Hi,

Exactly one year, one month, and one day ago, I joined ####asm. It was an attempt to mock Freenode's weird "add arbitrary #s before name" guidelines, and nortti, an idler on #osdev, followed. The channel stayed.

Exactly one month, and one day later, that is, one year before now, I forgot the channel name, and hence joined #osdev-offtopic. We soon got a nod from some #osdev moderators, and the community kept growing. As sortiecat describes it, we're much like the "cafeteria of #osdev," with discussions ranging from osdev to opwards. Of course, "This place [#osdev-offtopic] is meant to be off-topic, so being off-topic is on-topic, so are are on-topic to avoid being off-topic."

Exactly one year later, today, I release Tetranglix in celebrations of 1 year of the channel. Tetranglix is a 512-byte bootable Tetris clone. I'd love to give a bigger introduction to it, here, but the README does a better job. It wasn't as easy as we expected it to be, and we even thought of giving up twice, but the process was certainly very fun.

Express your love to Tetranglix by: playing it, starring it, tinkering (with) it, forking it. I hope you all love it.

Regards,
Shikhin

(do take a peek at #osdev-offtopic, next time you're on #osdev too)

Way to go attempting to divide the community and its resources.

Hi,



I like how you view that as an attempt to divide the community, and not split the conversation in the right way.

Awesome. I'm quite impressed you actually managed to do this!
