Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] https://social.chinwag.org/@mike
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
I have sent An Art to Europe. I am a cultural ambassador.

Who's got two thumbs and is going to get to watch @lardmotel play a record in a special room on Saturday?

I have successfully remembered that my plans require me to drive the car into work today, which I was concerned I'd forget about, so good one Mike! You did it!
Unfortunately I forgot that I ideally needed to put fuel in the car sometime over the weekend to make this easier on myself this morning.
Just unsubscribed from someone I really like on Patreon because they announced they've started publishing on fucking substack. Urgh.
I have blogged, briefly, about how Rainbow Headcleaner happened, and in what forms it currently exists as we inch ever-closer to what the legends refer to as "release day".

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!
