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
Sitting here not starting anything that needs concentration because word on the street is that we're having an evacuation drill this morning. 🙃
I'm surprised, and pleased, that Babylon 5 was released for free on YouTube.
I'm shocked, and utterly astounded, that it has no region restrictions.
So yeah, nice!
Found a nice half-length cartridge case for simple boards with single ROMs! I need to make some labels before I get carried away much further on this tangent.

If this short documentary from 1970 on Birmingham's canals had old computers in it, I'd say there was something in there for everyone*. Unfortunately it only features narrowboats, old infrastructure, horses, a committee meeting, bridges, trains**, and film cameras***.
* nerds I know
** a train
*** a camera
Printed the first thing I actually needed, a cartridge case for my C64 RAM expansion!
