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

NSW: Extreme heat, the landscape literally turning to ashes around them.
VIC: Putting on a jumper, wondering if it's worth turning the heater on.
In a surprise twist, my new motherboard is apparently out for delivery today.
