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
My TV has "fixed itself" again, who knows for how long, but at least I can put off dealing with that for a bit.
Also, I have realised my UPS alarm is no longer going off occasionally and all the lights are green again.
This reaffirms my opinion that you should ignore all your problems for as long as possible because they'll eventually just go away forever all by themselves.
This strategy has no flaws.
Saw The Overlander go past at the end of the street as I was walking up to get a coffee, and when I arrived at the cafe they'd just put out fresh blueberry muffins on the counter, still warm from the oven.
The omens for today are favourable.
Today I did a bunch of searches for things like "pop song structure", "typical pop song keys", and "chord progressions" to see if I could make one without really knowing what I'm doing.
Shockingly, it seems to have kind of worked.
I'm not too happy about the transition into and out of the bridge but it mostly does what it says on the tin!
I really should have gone to Hammerbarn today but it seemed like too much effort.
Mayhaps on the morrow.
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.
