Speaking of multi-tasking, I remember writing code that hijacked timer interrupt to surreptitiously perform background tasks. I would also hijack interrupt 9 (I think) to capture keyboard so that I would pop up a small text mode window to d

300K after taxes? In california, that's practically 600K gross. Well done. Considering you mentioned you doubled your income, does that mean boring corp was paying you 300K gross? That is pretty impressive and honestly, I didn't t
