Winner of Time Magazine "Person of the Year" 2006 and will never get tired of that joke.
I talk about #retrocomputing a lot. I also do a lot of #gardening and occasionally make #bread and #beer. I was a Unix #sysadmin for 25 years and I'm slowly recovering.
I live in #Melbourne, #Australia and sometimes tell jokes on stages around here. I co-host a #StarTrek podcast with @ThePingMachine
What kind of a fool would allow this kind of shenanigans to go on in their own *home*? Madness. Total madness.
I'm intrigued by this, it's a standard blank tape but it's been labelled with a rubber stamp. Gonna have to play this soon and see what's up.
Update: first three tracks are early 90s reggae songs from different artists, I'll make a list at some point but my guess is this is a promotional mix tape, likely featuring guests performing at the festival that year.
Nothing so far that's not readily identifiable and available, so it's a cool curiousity piece, but not a magical discovery!
So, you want to know what's been on tour? I bought a mixed batch of audio cassettes, mainly because I saw one particular set of spines in one photo!
It has arrived!
There is no obvious reason why it may have been misdirected twice. My address is clearly, and with no errors or omissions, printed on a label in very large type.
I cannot explain in any way why it would have been wrongly sorted to the same incorrect destination twice.
The great Storage Unit project is away! I've started with taking all my camping gear there, which frees up a lot of cupboard space here.
Also I think this is the first time I've seen all (most?) of my camping gear in one place at the same time and I think I may have developed a problem.

A problem called "still not having enough gear" am I right?????
