Getting Back in the Saddle
As can be seen, the site design/layout has been updated to something a little more modern. Yes, this does signal that I've finished with school and now have time to jump back into developing DynatOS :)
My plans are to get back to heavy OS development within the next month or two. In the mean time, I am compiling, formulating and documenting my design principles, in which are loosely written docs/notes (and thoughts) right now. I am currently shooting for having an updated project information section in early August.
In other promising news, I am tenatively shooting for an official Alpha release of the x86-64 version of DynatOS around November of this year!

Broken Record
The subject line of this news entry, Broken Record, is meant to serve as a double entendre of sorts. First, it has been quite some time since a news entry has been posted, in which puts me at risk of sounding like a "broken record" with regard to my last entry. Second, it currently represents the longest time between posting news entries, thus breaking that record.
To follow up on the last news entry, I achieved basic Multiprocessor support in August of 2009. Shortly after that, I started another semester of College. Since then I've put in two semesters in total, among other life events and responsibilities, and thus, as you can imagine, work on DynatOS has again been at a crawl.
I can say with certainty that this grudgingly slow pace of development will continue until, at least, this time next year. So, don't be too worried if you don't see another news entry until mid 2011… I have not retired this project to the vaporware/abandonware department quite yet ;)

Multiprocessor Support
It's been awhile since my last news entry. Work on DynatOS has been slow over the last 7 months, with most of the focus on analysis of the current design rather than actual coding.
With that being said, I am moving forward with implementing support for multiple processors/cores. This also involves a revamp of the process scheduler to account for, and utilize, multilple processors.
