 sending the bytes to the appropriate ports.

+We will now fix `kernel/utils.c int_to_ascii()` to print the numbers in the correct order.
+For that, we need to implement `reverse()` and `strlen()`.
 
 Finally, go back to the `kernel/kernel.c` and do two things. Enable interrupts again
 (very important!) and then initialize the timer interrupt.
 
-Go `make run` and you'll see the clock ticking! Unfortunately we are not printing the correct values
-on screen, so we'll go ahead to `drivers/screen.c` and add a new `kprint_int()` method, also declaring
-it on `drivers/screen.h`
+Go `make run` and you'll see the clock ticking!
