+My poor attempted at trying to build an operating system from scratch.
+Being totally honest, I've merely gleemed various sources on OS dev
+and am attempting this project just to see how much I can learn.
+
+I only have a vague idea of where I want this project to go, but 
+I can only dedicate so much time to working on this at a time, so
+progress is very slow going. I do wish to build a working VGA
+driver that woudl allow me to create a decent looking UI. Beyond this
+I no other objective in mind besides just trying anything I think would
+be cool to pull off.
