These "tuts" are amazingly nostalgic.
Between this and Fravia I probably learned more about how computers worked than any other course or article. I remember running through most of these to build up my own personal GFX library. Silly things like "draw random lines" versus "draw random lines REALLY FAST" kept me interested long beyond any reasonable attention span. Thanks @tdicola for the link to the texts!
I'm only sad that I've forgotten so much, and that it's getting harder and harder to make cool stuff like this - there are still ways to get a 1:1 array:pixel mapping and have at, but they're all more complicated than MOV AX, 13h; INT 10h; and $A000.

That's another blog post. Give me time :)
