Photos of you guys

[bubach]

Here's some I found of me online...

some profile pic - where i'm wasted, put a cider sticker on my forehead.
me at festival - probably wasted here too. raver pants
fb profile pic - more serious setting, at the office. sober.

JuEeHa what age did you start programming? I'm in awe that you're so young!

JuEeHa what age did you start programming? I'm in awe that you're so young!

At the age of 8 using Borland C++ 3.1 first on Windows 95 and later on MS-DOS.

And I thought I started young haha! I'm impressed

JuEeHa Not to be rude or anything, but which one are you in the photo? (Probably a stupid question, but I'm tired)

yeah, I was going to ask the same thing. options are:

1) creepy dude sneaking up on 12 year old girl with fake cat-ears.
2) actual 12 year old girl with fake cat-ears

both being equally disturbing. hahah nah, i'm gonna have to guess that you are the dude in the background and you just happen to find this photo taken by some official staff member at the LAN party while being unaware about it at the time?

I am the one in the foreground and I am a boy. This picture was taken at putkamiitti (meeting of members of irc channel #ohjelmointiputka held at assembly summer) by guy who uses nickname Smar.

and you can already write assembly code? that's impressive. i started programming a little younger than you, about 6 or 7 (i'm 28 now).. but i started with GW-BASIC. i didn't start using C until 2007.

i started learning x86 and 6502 assembly in 2010. learning them was a requirement because i started writing an 8086 CPU emulator for my PC emu, and a 6502 one for my NES emu.

it was the ultimate crash course in asm.

and you can already write assembly code?

Only real mode and some of 16bit protected mode stuff. My whole OS was written in real mode assembly using only 8086 features. Now I am restarting my project this time using a real microkernel design and 80286 protected mode.

wow I feel dumb. I just had a very quick look and got confused with the hair. sorry, hard to imagine someone so young is doing osdev and assembly!

32-bit x86 asm is basically the same. only a few minor differences. if you can do 16-bit, you'll be able to easily start using 32-bit.

is your real mode OS uploaded anywhere?

And now, here to spoil the fun, is ME!!!!

In all seriousness though, to bring things back on topic.
This one was taken during my work experience in *grabs calculator* 2010. God I miss that week :')

This one is of me during my passing out parade at my Air Cadet squadron, in 2009. I was 13.

<offtopic>I didn't get my realmode OS to very good shape at functional standpoint. Biggest limitation was using MikeOS floppy drive which didn't really like file access by handle, but I can't really blame Mike as it was designed for simple singletasking not complex multitasking environment. Kernel was also true monolithic architecture right until last version where I added very simple device drive API. I could try cleaning source code and fixing some really bad bugs but I really want to focus on my new project. Also I am using 286 protected mode because I want to be able to use my OS on as old computers as possible but still have enoug memory for day to day use. (Yes. I can live with only 16MB of RAM)</offtopic>

Off topic 1: Similar story to why I scrapped my last OS. Monolithic by design, very buggy, and the term spaghetti code comes to mind. Microkernel now (although a LOT of work to do), and I'm trying out a few ideas that I have, that I don't think anyone else has done yet (or I can't find them anyway...)

Offtopic 2: Mods, can we move this to a separate topic, to keep coherency and keep things on topic. Thanks.

No, they started it, you continued it off topic. Start your own.

No, sir, I cannot explain how images of these children ended up on my harddrive. What? No, not at all... Wait, where are you ta

hahahhaha, made my day. let us know if you need bail money

[amd64pager]

I am not allowed to post any images of my own,but you can know that I am 10.(Learnt C at the age of 6)

but you can know that I am 10.(Learnt C at the age of 6)

My daughter celebrates her 7th birthday in a bit under two months. She's using the computer to play TuxMath, TuxType and TuxPaint, plus for visiting the web-based training site for reading that's supported by her school. No more.

And while I'll be perfectly happy to teach her how to program, should she ever ask me, I don't think it's "right" for a kid to learn C at an age better spend learning orthography and grammar of natural languages, then going out to play with the other kids...

(I learned Basic at the age of 11, and that was still plenty early.)
