Welcome to 8086tiny!

I saw the obfuscated version (IOCCC) first, and all I can say is, holy f***! This is one of the most brilliant intellectual/artistic/humorous feats I have seen this decade, along with the other entries by the same author: www.ioccc.org/2013/whowon.html. Bravo!

Will you tell us a little background on yourself? Can you share where you picked up your knowledge, was any of this related to your professional work, or is this purely a sideline?
