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
Once again I'm thinking about the tragic loss of Avenue 5, which gave us such lines as "He's just there to stop his skeleton from falling over."
Tonight I'm having "a double" which is a grown-up drink to which I add two marshmallows, and then take one out after getting worried about the amount of calories in it.
I had a great idea to order the cheapest bagpipes on AliExpress as a joke and to see how terrible a sound I could make, and have been thwarted by the inconvenient fact that there are no bagpipes on AliExpress.
Love that I left some of my job alert emails going, because it's nice to know that I could be getting paid less to work on ServiceNow development for the federal police if I ever decided job satisfaction was not for me.
Holy shit my GP seems to have royally fucked me over. I got two letters forwarded TODAY that have deadlines in the past.
Apparently my previous GP needs to have sent them a letter transferring prescription authority or something, and a) she left the clinic I saw her at, and b) the entire clinic closed, so I have no fucking idea where to start unpicking this fuckery.
Edit: I am venting and not looking for advice thank you.
