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
This is my special box of USB cables. It's special because it has the magical ability to contain every single type of USB cable ever made, except for the one you're looking for right now.

Bought a new record album to listen to! I've not been especially enamored of Brian Eno's later works, but this one turned up on sale for only $28 which is unheard of for a brand-new vinyl LP so I grabbed it anyway.

I hate that a lot of my product assessment is now largely just "can I set this thing up without installing a special app on my phone?"
My NBN speed upgrade happened overnight, and I was very confused that my tests still peaked at around 90Mb instead of around 250 no matter what I reset or restarted.
I finally ran the test at the router, got 240Mbit results, and it slowly dawned on me that my wifi AP only has a 100Mbit ethernet port on it.
I guess some more infrastructure upgrades are needed.

I have explained to Meech that this is why he needs to check the perimeter.
