Just a little pat on the back

I have a yearly project of making my own OS from scratch with the goal of learning and pushing things along a little further than before. Inevitably I hit a wall at some point that I just can't seem to climb, and that's fine! The point is to find the knowledge gap, learn and grow as a developer for a year, and come back at it again later and see how far I've made it.
This year, I just crossed a big milestone (for me anyway); I can boot to a terminal that I wrote, that can read files off of a real hard disk, load programs into memory, and multi-thread between them! All without (too many) unexpected crashes! And it runs on real hardware, not just a virtual machine!
Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you to the folks on the wiki and in the community of hobby OS developers in general, and to share some excitement. Cheers!
