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
In the last week I have finally begun catching up with some games I've wanted to play for a while. One of them has got me to pick up my very neglected Switch and I'm having a lovely time trying to remember how joysticks work.
Thank you @gilesgoat and @llamasoft_ox for putting this into my eyes and ears!
If you're reading this and own a Switch, please consider.

Dear Mike, please note that it is Sunday and therefore you must put the bins out tonight.
Controversial opinion I know but just gonna come out and say this. I like it when people do art.
You should do an art today.
There's a new preview of a work in progress track for Rainbow Headcleaner posted on my Patreon page for anyone looking for some ambient, drone-ish noodling about.
Available to free members, no payment required.
I really need to replace my damned TV, the glitching is really annoying the crap out of me. On the other hand, I just do not want to go through all the decision making process and actually pay for a new TV. Grr.
I feel like it's even possible to repair or replace some internal board to resolve it, but if I fuck that up or can't do it, I have no lounge TV for a bit.
This is just venting, I'll figure something out, but urgh I just don't need another thing to deal with right now that I can't actually ignore because it bugs me every time I sit on the couch to relax a bit.
