Couple days ago, here i read about TempleOS so i got curious what's that, so i read about it and about developer Terry Davis who was computer engineer, electric engineer and programmer, and reason why he developed templeOS was that he had a revelation, so god chose him, he spoke with god, and god command him to build it for some reasons,
- so was he telling facts? or was he just delusional?
Okay, before we make premature conclusion we will need more info about him and his history.
His full name : Terrence Andrew Davis [December 15, 1969 – August 11, 2018]
Birthplace : [West Allis, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States]
Height : [5'11" - 180cm]
Weight : [170lbs - 77kg]
Race : [White]
Education : [Bachelor's degree in computer engineering (1992) & master's degree in electrical engineering (1994) in arizona state university]
Occupation : [computer programmer, video streamer&blogger]
High school : [ Mission Viejo High School (Mission Viejo, CA), Agua Fria High School (Avondale, AZ)]
College : [Arizona State University]
Website : [templeos.org]
His father : Terrence Davis [born date unknown]
His mother : Marietta Collins [born 1930s died 2010s]
At his teenages, Davis learned Assembly-language on the computer 'Commondore 64'
one of his video vlog he mentioned "Assembly language is sexy, why is it sexy? because it is Okay? everybody knows that assembly language is sexy"
(video uploaded to TempleOS discord, you'll find it through templeos.org)
(he learned programming language on this computer, commondore 64)
He later earned a master's degree in electrical engineering from Arizona State University and worked for several years at Ticketmaster as a programmer for VAX machines
Davis grew up as a Catholic and was an atheist for some of his adult life, but after sometime he had revelation, he often had direct communication with God who commanded him to build OS
First name of his OS was a "J Operating System" later changed to "LoseThos" and later in 2013 he finished project and called it "TempleOS"
templeOS has DOS-based interfaces, developed alone over the course of a decade. This included the design of its original programming language, editor, compiler and kernel. It was ultimately composed of over 100,000 lines of code.
According to Davis, many of the system's features, such as its 640x480 resolution and 16-color display, were also explicit instructions from God,
The charter on his website stated that TempleOS was "God's official temple
When terry's OS was named LoseThos he decided to rename it to SparrowOS in a early 2013 he named it TempleOS
A few weeks later, his website announced: "God's temple is finished. Now, God kills CIA until it spreads"
- Music
I should mention that he was musical person, he liked rock & heavy metal genres, during in his livestreams often talked about it, played his favorite bands and sing lyrics
he liked and enjoyed dancing on his favorite musics
he liked drums as i know,
He made 120 hymns for TempleOS through TempleOS
(All 120 of Terry's hymns)
This is 2018, in the picture this is the times when terry decided to came from home and live homelessly
interesting coincidence is that on the bench word is THACKER but terry covers letter T and we can see the word HACKER,
- Spiritual awakening
He had visions about Space aliens and government agents,
"I started seeing people following me around in suits and stuff. It just seemed something was strange."
He started donating large sums of money to charity organizations, he guess - "that act probably caused God to reveal Himself to me and saved me."
Soon afterward, out of fear of the suited figures he believed to be following him, Davis left town and drove hundreds of miles south with no destination. After becoming convinced that his car radio was communicating with him, he dismantled his vehicle (apparently in a search for tracking devices he believed were hidden on it) and threw his keys into the desert. He walked aimlessly along the side of the highway, where he was then picked up by an officer. Davis escaped from the patrol vehicle, broke his collarbone, and was then taken to a hospital.
Distressed about a conversation over artifacts found on his X-ray scans, interpreted by him as "alien artifacts", he ran from the hospital and attempted to carjack a nearby truck before being arrested. In jail, he stripped himself, broke his glasses and jammed the frames into a nearby electrical outlet, trying to open his cell door by switching the breaker. This failed, as he had been wearing non-conductive frames. He was then admitted to a mental hospital for two weeks.
Regarding these developments, Davis said in a 2014 interview that he had been "genuinely pretty crazy in a way. Now I'm not. I'm crazy in a different way maybe."
Davis acknowledged that the sequence of events leading to his spiritual awakening might give the impression of "mental illness, as opposed to some glorious revelation from God. It would sound polite if you said I scared myself thinking about quantum computers. And then I guess you just throw in your ordinary mental illness."
