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
Always pretty wild being at the post office first thing in the morning and seeing a bunch of older folks paying their bills with cash at the counter, thinking that they were likely the age I am now around the year 2000, and wondering what amazingly anachronistic habit I'm going to refuse to give up on when I get to that age.
I'm a nerd, yes, but I wouldn't be nearly so interested in the current Moon mission stuff if all the other news going on wasn't so absolutely awful.
Hey Melbourne fedifriends, me and @CuriosityBlue are going to see Nicky Barry's show tomorrow and go for dinner after at Fancy Hank's, and maybe see another show to be determined after.
Come with us! Probably just going to wing it for dinner without a booking but get tickets to see Nicky. You should definitely see Nicky.

Buying cheese this morning to the tune of Electric Dreams and now I have "Together in electric cheese" on loop in my head.
I have finally accepted my fate and purchased a new TV.
Wonder if I'll be able to get a new driver board or something and be able to make use of the old panel somehow.
Still very annoyed, but I can't say it's an intermittent fault any more. It's more like it's intermittently working OK.
