Wait, is this the crazy man who is always commenting on HackerNews and getting downvoted to oblivion?
Yes, in the history page you see this is a continuation of LoseThos.
Well, it explains why he starts his comments off with "God says:"...
Somebody linked to him on MetaFilter a couple years ago, and he joined the site to comment in-thread. What could have been a pile on ended up being an exchange between himself and a few members that flipped back and forth between a discussion of theology and of technical design and implementation at a pretty high rate of speed.
It's possible to have a level conversation with him when he's not being treated like freak o' the week. Admittedly that can be a challenge
He's visited the comments section here, too: http://www.jwz.org/blog/2013/08/a-light-has-gone-out-on-the-web/.
His "rants" also do the same trick of cycling rapidly between persecution complex, technical minutia, delusions of grandeur, and... links to classic rock? God's apparently a fan of The Beatles. And for even more Fun With Terry: http://disqus.com/facebook-1505460658/
I hope that his "songs by god" will end up in a mixtape some day.
If you liked the song in that video then you'll love his others http://www.templeos.org/Wb/Accts/TS/Wb2/Hymns.html
I was sold when he did the Count to 1000000 performance test. That and the potted plant in the Wolfenstein app.
"The vision for TempleOS is a modern, 64-bit Commodore 64."
OK, pretty low on the list of problems that needed solving, but a significant amount of effort none the less.
The man is very talented, but unfortunately, insane.
I was riveted for almost 8 minutes.
"Interpretation is tricky..." -- LOL.
