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
The cord retractor thing on my vacuum cleaner is extremely weak and unsatisfying and nothing like the amazingly fast ones I recall from my youth and I blame woke.
Today is "rearrange the office" day and I both do and do not want to do this in equal amounts.
Dresden replaced the frame happily and we had a chat about isopropyl alcohol! I'm mainly surprised that this took so long to happen. The staff member I spoke to didn't think the colour dyes would make a difference in how vulnerable the frames might be so it's just weird "luck" that my newest frames were the first time I encountered this.
That's assuming it was IPA that did this, of course, and not just a random manufacturing flaw in this one set.
Anyway I know to be more careful with my glasses when doing electronics stuff now!
Just realised my hair has reached "ponytail" length and I have some decisions to make 😆
