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
Update after reading on the X4 for a bit - it's maybe a little bit smaller than I want, but I can adjust. It doesn't need to. I fat-fingered the buttons a lot at first but I'm not doing that now.
I like the tiny electric book.
"1700 [...] Sept. 20 Affidabit was then made before Mr Horn of Widdow Shrub was buried in woollen only."
Goodnight, great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandma Joan who didn't even get a box.
I have traced some branches of my family tree back as far as the 16th century and so far every single person is ... nobody.
Nobody did any notorious crimes, traded any slaves, conquered any nations. Nobody got a statue. Hardly any even got gravestones.
I'm more than OK with this.
@mwl can we have a "Goat Farming for System Administrators" guide in the near future? I'm probably not the only one feeling like that's the most appealing career progression path.
I've now had two phishing attempts this week that felt personally directed towards me by someone who has a profile of my basic information and what I do, rather than just getting generic bulk emails purporting to be from random services that I usually haven't ever used.
This timeline sucks.
