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

Get yourself general admission tickets here and we'll hang out!

If you want to meet up in advance I'm going to walk over from my house, via Laverton station, with the aim of arriving at the field around 6:30pm. Give me a shout if you want us to find you there.

Did a test print of a little Pi1541 case I really liked the look of, with its very classic Commodore style.

Need to move some bits around in the model because I have a Pi Zero and the SD card slot is in the wrong spot for a start, but it'll look great printed in a more appropriate beige later.
