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
Hey Melbourne fedifriends - I'm taking @CuriosityBlue to the (a) pub for dinner either Thursday or Friday this week. Anyone want to come along and do you have a preference for one day or another?
Thursday is probably a bit easier in some ways but if we can catch more people Friday let's roll.
Considering a west side location because westies rule, of course.
Update: swaying hard towards Thursday.

The box works! Praise the box! I can now import new audio samples directly into my Amiga 500!
Yesterday I made a small box. Today I will test the box.

On one hand, I'm not exactly excited to have learned I seem to have an iron deficiency the other day ... but on the other it does provide a reasonable explanation for why I've been so fucking tired all the time lately.
The last few days have involved either commuting on extremely slow bus substitution services, or extremely congested and slow moving traffic.
I have now learned that it is a huge mistake to leave my home and will shelter in place tomorrow.
