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
Congratulations to me I guess for making my 50,000th post on Chinwag at some point in the last few days. 🎉
@llamasoft_ox is this offer still good? I'll send you a fiver.

One antique chip posted from the UK, a small piece of tape, a tiny act of vandalism, and finally my Amiga has achieved a new level of hackery. One whole megabyte of chip RAM!
Just to stocktake here, what used to be a stock revision 5 Amiga 500 now has ...
- a 68010 CPU
- an upgraded Angus to support 1MB of chip RAM
- an 8 meg RAM expansion and IDE controller
- Kickstart 3.2 ROM
- a gotek floppy emulator
- 64GB SDD
- Compact Flash card reader
It's getting closer to done, I guess. Not much else to do without turning it into something completely different.

I have a growing suspicion that war may be good for absolutely nothing, and I wish someone could have pointed this out to us at some point.
