Low-level programming is good for the programmer's soul

Another quotation by John Carmack. So I decided to follow his advice, given that my soul at the moment badly needs something interesting to animate it, so to speak. I 've been reading on assembly language programming ( I wrote some apps on assembler for the Amiga and x86 -- the DOS days -- but haven't touched it since ) and also browsing through Quake III's source code, generously released by the id software folks. I must tell you, it really helps. Its not that low-level, per se, but it works.
