Chinwag Posts

Chinwag admin, fan of open communication standards, maintainer of communities, male comedienne.
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 have been a Unix #sysadmin for about 30 years but I think I'll be OK.
I live in #Melbourne, #Australia and sometimes tell jokes on stages around here. I co-host a #StarTrek podcast with @ThePingMachine
Something has definitely shifted in my mental/physical state now because it's just after 9pm and I'm feeling restless instead of utterly exhausted, which is a lot more in line with "normal" for me, heh.
Mike may have pizza for dinner, as a treat.
Felt like a fairly successful day of professional computer touching today. I was feeling very out of sync with things after a holiday and then being sick left my brain resembling something closer to a bowl of soup than anything capable of reasoning.
I'm just about becoming friends with working in macos (rhymes with tacos) again but I hear they're about to mess that up for me this week.
The next version of Chinwag, based on Mastodon 4.4, is now live for testing!

If it survives OK for a day or so I'll bring that up on the main server. There's not a lot of visible change from a user perspective so if it looks roughly the same that's probably a good thing.
This server may never have existed at any moment.
https://social.ninefives.technology/I, a non-resident who does not visit Sydney really that often, saw this headline and immediately thought "oh that'd be Paramatta Road".
