Yesterday was my last day at calsoft. I must say I got to learn a lot there. There were some problems (the most important was the lack of appreciation) and also I thought it is the right time to move on. I'll be joining adaptec in 3rd week of January. Till then am planning to read many books and start off with python.
Last few days I read 2 or 3 more chapter from the Love book. Researched about HZ. Found out that when system boots up, it programs i8253 (Programmable interval timer) to generate intervals at HZ frequency at IRQ0. This PIT is connected to i8259 (PIC).
