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
