When I was four my parents gave me my first personal computer: a Commodore 64. I remember playing Basket Master, Barbarian, Hades Nebula and so many other games with my father. I remember the happiness when we finished a sample program from the user's manual which make an ASCII ball character to bounce when hit the edges of the screen... It was then when I decided what I want to do in life. That's why I'm here now and, surely, that computer started to make me being the man I am nowadays.

The C64 has one chip called KERNAL, where the OS was hosted. Robert Russell, the leader of the development of several parts of the system, misspelled the word KERNEL in a book I think... I can't recall tight now. I love japanese culture, so I decided to adopt the name KERNAL as a japanese person would pronounce it but transliterated to romaji.

KERNAL -> kerunaru
