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

There are a few bits and pieces of this work in progress around if you search my posts and stuff, but there's one whole track that only maybe five people have ever heard so far!
I have given myself a night off and ordered from the fish and chips place. However all the images of their food on the delivery thing are now generative slop that look nothing like what's going to show up.

Show me one Australian who is ordering a Chiko Roll and expecting this:

That's a new one for me.
