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
Because of the current evening bus replacements after Newport on my line, I drove my car to Newport station yesterday and got the train in from there.
A flawless plan in most ways, but I felt like I was being personally insulted when I got stopped at a level crossing while heading home and made to watch an empty train go down my "closed" line towards home.
🙃
While I was on my way into the office this morning, I realised I'd left my work phone behind and was thinking about how annoying it was going to be to get things done without that, as it's needed for so many 2FA checks.
When I got in, I realised that I'd just put it in a different pocket this morning, so I think I'm in for a spectacularly wild brain day today.
I'm seeing a lot of posts about Val Kilmer and not a lot of them mentioning his finest role.

It was very strange getting the link to Becky's show because the Melbourne Comedy Festival search box prompt is "what are you looking for?" and I typed in "cancer".
If you're a person who's usually around the CBD at the end of a day, and might feel like seeing a good comedy show ... you should check out one of these!
Due to close timing, you won't be able to do both in one night, but both Becky and Donna are fucking excellent comedians and you'll have a great time either way.
I'm going to see Donna this evening, as Becky has had to cancel. So if you're in the mood for a good show, that's where you should go! See Becky tomorrow!
