Kernel head

This is a late post. Simply explains how the kernel sits in after grub.



[BITS 32]
	
global _start
extern kernel_entry
	
PAGEALIGN	equ 1<<0
MEMORYINFO	equ 1<<1
HEADERFLAGS	equ PAGEALIGN | MEMORYINFO ; 0x3 that is
HEADERMAGIC	equ 0x1BADB002
CHECKSUM	equ -(HEADERMAGIC + HEADERFLAGS)
STACKSIZE	equ 0x4000
	
section .text
ALIGN 4 	; section must be 4 byte-aligned
multibootheader	;
	dd HEADERMAGIC
	dd HEADERFLAGS
	dd CHECKSUM
	
_start:
	mov esp, stack+STACKSIZE
	push eax
	push ebx
	call kernel_entry
	jmp $
	
; GDT here
	
; ISRs here
	
section .bss
ALIGN 4
stack	resb STACKSIZE	; 16KB of memory

I’m just sad tonight, that’s why I decided to post this out of nothing. Well I guess keeping myself busy would be wise enough.

Importance of daily meetings

Why are daily meetings important? Yes I know what you are thinking, to check if the schedule is on target, to spot showstoppers, roadblocks and whatnots. But aside from those, there are things that make daily meetings rewarding. Let’s face it, some people (including me) find it hard oftentimes to achieve a certain level of focus at work especially when multitasking is inevitable. Meetings will remind us of our commitments infront of our peers. Since most of us will be ashamed of not making any progress, it will trigger ourselves to do something about it. In my opinion, having daily meetings typically before the shift starts will help a lot of peers suffering from bad habits - procrastination. It is one way of invigorating those who have not found their way out yet. “Keep each other in the zone, what are teammates for?”
