* where is this from? "Let's get something straight... Mel was a sympathy fuck sort of... with attractive women, I'm not totally impotent... Off the meds, that is... Fucken bastard doctors want to exterminate the Lunitic fringe but the abuse makes us more potent in other ways. At the store recently I had to sneak-out with a hard-on a couple times. I'm older now suffering, I think from age, however. Hard lesson is don't do sympathy fucks... makes both people miserable. That's a homosexaul sort of thing--going for unattractive women out of kindness. (I've decided.) There's a fundamental law of dating and it's binary." https://boards.4chan.org/g/thread/59444682#p59450101

Latest revision as of 20:38, 10 April 2024

This is a timeline of TempleOS, a biblical-themed operating system, and its creator Terry A. Davis.

Big picture

Time period Key developments
1969–1995 Terry seems to have a pretty normal life during this period. He is raised a Catholic but becomes an atheist around 1990. He goes to college at Arizona State University and earns both a bachelor's and master's degrees. He begins his career as an intern at Ticketmaster.
1996–2003 Terry begins to be afflicted by various mental conditions around this period, possibly including mania, paranoia, and schizophrenia. He continues to hold a couple of jobs, but relatively little is known about this period.
2003–2010 Terry begins to develop what would eventually be called TempleOS. Very little is known about this period.
2011–2017 TempleOS development continues, but seems to finish by the end of 2014. During this period, Terry begins posting in various online discussion platforms, including Twitter, Hacker News, Reddit, Stack Overflow, Quora, and Facebook.
