About me
I am PeterX, in real life Peter Wiehe, in games Trox or Pebblerubble. I'm a slow programmer (and a mediocre one) and make quite some mistakes.
I fit into the following archetype categories:

https://wiki.osdev.org/Andy_Microbaum
I live in Münster (Muenster) in NRW in Germany.
Currently I'm developing
- Smudeco/Raw OS, UEFI dev/primitive OS. Only for UEFI x64.
- Bedit, a GUI editor for build scripts.
I love coding in Assembler, C, C++, Scheme. (Pretty much in that order.)
I hate overcomplicated software/things like the Linux kernel, Mach/Hurd, the X Window system, inline assembly and C++. I prefer simple software like JWM, vim, mousepad.
Despite hating the Linux kernel source code, I use a Desktop PC with GNU/Linux, at the time of writing this, Xubuntu (because apt supports a lot of software).
I'm sparing my money for an UEFI PC to develop OS on that. In the meantime I use OVMF on Qemu.
Portfolio
- some generic bootsectors (not very great)
- a tool to write a byte to a file (including a disk) at a chosen offset
Not much, eh?
Private stuff
I don't like double standards, extreme cruelty and recklessness.
My music taste is very eclectic. My all-time favorites are Queen, Peter Tosh and Bob Marley.
