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 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
The project mentioned above is not exactly something that's on a "maybe one day" list.

This last week or so has been a right fuckin rollercoaster of awesome shit and PTSD nightmares and work being super demanding hope and loss and oh god can I just get though the next couple of weeks and switch my brain off for a little bit please?
Just let me catch my fucking breath.
I appear to have jumped on board a train of thought bound for "people we've lost" and I think I'm gonna have to open a bottle of wine when I get home.
Now I've done the GPS synced Swatch Clock (needs a catchy name still I guess) I have some other dumb clock ideas I might get around to.
The one I want to do next is the Stopped Clock. It always displays the same time, but blinks or changes colour or something when it's the right time - twice a day, or once a day if you use 24-hour time mode.
