This looks promising Eeems, as most OSs, but it seems you've started making some stuff  I just don't get the exes, what are they, calculator files?
Thanks Exe's are executable files. My file system isn't limited like TIOS the data can have any format/name it wants. Wait, "welcome.exe?"
Are you seriously parsing .exe files? 
.exe is just an extension placeholder for now, I might change it to something else, I might not. Not .app?  J/k looks awesome! I really like those keypad tricks like holding ON. Any idea when we can have a demo? 
lol  Yeah, I'm excited about them too, I have no idea when I will be at that state, but I'll try to get an svn set up as soon as possible so you guys can grab the most recent source whenever you want and make your own personal demos

If any of you are wondering what my recent tweets have been about, or what I'm blabbering on about in IRC then let me enlighten you I have recently been working on a OS inspired by KOS. Rogue has been in the works for a long time but has never really gotten off the ground until recently. RogueOS was originally going to be based on the Knight Kernel, but since I am unable to work with the Knight Kernel due to re-writes, I'm opting for just basing it off of a basic version of the Knight Kernel and working from there. After making that decision I sat down and wrote out what my goals for Rogue were and here is a somewhat edited version of that original list. Features- Multitasking
- App Style programs
- Animated App Switching
- System Pane
- 3 Dedicated screen buffers
- Filesystem
- Power Menu
Multitasking- Interrupt based
- States
- 0 - No Thread
- 1 - Zombie
- 2 - Started
- 3 - Running
- 4 - Interruptable
- 5 - Uninterruptable
- Shifts through Thread Table in a round-robin manner
App Style Programs- Specific file structure for each app ( ie: app.exe, metadata, resources etc )
Animated Switching- Switching between running apps will be animated with a slide in from left/right
- ON+left/right arrows will switch between the running apps
System Pane- By default a bottom pane will be displayed showing different information
- Info
- Free RAM ( percent )
- Current App ( App # / Total running # )
Time ( I'm still on the fence about this one )- Battery low warning ( only if battery is low )
3 Dedicated screen buffers- So apps don't have to allocate extra buffers for greyscale etc
- buffers
- 0 - Main buffer
- 1 - Back buffer
- 2 - extra buffer
Filesytem- Basic FAT style filesystem for now. Possible change to a Journaling system later
- Supports
- Directories
- Files
- Symbolic Links
Power Menu- Holding ON will bring up the power menu in an overlay ( interrupting any running apps ( so everything goes greyscale ) )
- Overlay
- Up Arrow - Sleep
- Down Arrow - Hibernate
- Left Arrow - Go left one running app
- Right Arrow - Go right one running app
- Y=/F1 - Bring up System Menu ( ie: apps and options )
- Sleeping turns off the screen and halts processes, then puts the cpu into a low power state
- Hibernate Backs up the RAM State and turns the calculator off completely
Completed Milestones- Multitasking
- FAT/Filesystem reading
- Loading Executables/Data to RAM
- LCD Locking for specific threads
- Integrating some of the Knight Kernel features
So right now, I have a working, but limited OS Oh and before I forget, I am working on this project with a mix of wine, mono, spasm, wabbitemu, wxwabbitemu, make, gedit and os2tools. Right now the building process is aimed for linux, but I could add in support for windows later, when I get around to making an svn for you guys to grab from  Booting Rogue OS's debug build. Using boot.exe and welcome.exe to display the two last messages with multitasking ( BTW: I'm writing my last Diploma exam tomorrow, so I'm not really active until after it, but I thought I should just post this now for the hype )

what is omninet?
Our IRC network. irc.omnimaga.org Do you think OmniNet compatibility will ever return?
Actually from my talks with him he already has plans for how to make his bot span more then one network, so as soon as he does that OmniNET will be added back in I'm pretty sure.

* Geekboy1011 polishes his ban hammer
*sigh*
You mean you don't keep yours polished and ready for use at a moments notice?

Well, I found Ubuntu and Mint to be rather fruitless and Vista to be a lot better. However, Fedora was nice but for some reason it crashed while we tested it (so much for being pretty stable...), and Debian was awesome. We couldn't get Arch to work, so I can't even judge it
Fedora is kinda crashy from what I've heard and Arch is just plain awesome when you get it to work but that requires a little know how. Why are Ubuntu/Mint fruitless for you? Is it cause they don't look nice enough? ( I'm thinking that you also haven't really played around with all the customizations you can make to make it completely yours. I'm also thinking that you are judging based on how it looks which has little to do with the actual core stuff behind it. They all use a DE, which is completely different from the distro itself ( although Ubuntu has one made specifically made for it )

I'm sad to see it has come to this again.
The nDoom policy will become yearly until we see that there is no need from it anymore ( so it will be enforced at around this time each year till just after summer ends until there is no more need for it ). So it was coming no matter what, it just came a week early. Hopefully we don't have to use this policy for that many more years, but with what has happened in the past I'm skeptical about that.

Well, yesterday I convinced my friend to try different forms of linux in his old computer, and from what I can tell, Mint and Ubuntu are lame, Fedora is a bit weirs, Debian is awesome, and forget Arch.
That's rather harsh

When I get around to working on it I will, but I have a bunch of other projects on the stack before it.

I wanted to see if Omnimaga-FR worked so I clicked it, but then It said :"OmnomIRC is disabled. Click here to enable.". So I did, but it stays the same. So ATM I can't see anything on omnomIRC. 
clear your cache and refresh ( try a ctrl-f5 first though )

Well #IRP ( on both efnet and omninet ) is the official withg.us.to channel. I usually idle in there more since it's more one on one with a few people But yeah I think that would be a good one to have, so we can keep most Withg discussion on there instead of the main channel.
