This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

In addition to Turing Complete, which is really good, Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software is a fantastic book that literally goes from two kids trying to talk to each other at night with flashlights, to a fully working Z80 clone, while not being hard to understand and using a really good conversational teaching method. It's how I figured out a lot about CPU design, microarchitectures, assembly and machine langauge and a lot of other things.
