Making Bed — And What Next? 2025

It’s morning.

Do you make your bed the same way, every time, exactly?

I don’t.

In the morning my brain is chaotic, my working memory doesn’t yet do its best. (At this point, writing, it’s much better already!)

Making my bed is something that I strive to get out of the tasks, immediately.

My analogy is computer administration. I am making a system that helps eliminate problems with your computer, the software and configurations. It helps to weed out any bug or error you might see, in a consistent way. Omitting those steps, which are not used.

Side-effects are something really interesting in computing.

Linus (Torvalds) said in an interview, once, that he wants the computer to do exactly a thing, nothing else. I guess this is pretty much how computers should work.

I’ve seen the very interesting evolution of Operating Systems since MSDOS ages. In fact, before MSDOS, what I used was a Commodore 64 home computer. It has a OS encoded in the ROM chip. It’s API is called “kernal”, note the a, not e as in kernel.

MSDOS was a major leap ahead. I in fact researched quite much of the internals, hex code inside MSDOS.

Like any OS; also MSDOS had a simple mission:

manage all the resources of a PC computer, so that the user can run programs, and enjoy the experience.
