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
Everything happens so much lately.
Given a lot of my servers are there to provide redundancy and convenient storage, rather than critical, I could probably run the really important stuff off a couple of laptops for a few days I reckon.
Having made some poor initial decisions about how I've structured my home network and server cluster is kinda leading me towards initiating a scorched earth policy and starting over.
Except that now my alleged home has production systems with actual users on them in it.
So maybe I need to start a whole second stack and migrate things to it.
But that'd be ridiculous.
Right?
Prediction
It can, and stop calling me Shirley.
I have commenced an ill-advised task in the traditional manner, by thinking to myself "oh it can't be that hard, surely."
