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

We're rocking it old school here, and writing out MIDI files from our "random" numbers.
For a side project that's been kicking around in my head, I want to generate music from environmental inputs.
Today is the first time things have been actually listenable to some degree, and most of the tunable options are hooked up now. There's a long way to go however.
The seed value for my test track here is "42".
