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
Indulged in a bit of the old "sample it, loop it, fuck it, and eat it".

Just a normal Amiga 500 with a 64GB SDD and 8 megs of RAM. I love this ludicrous machine.
Still takes a while to copy stuff off a CF card to the main hard drive but it's quicker than literally any other way to move files from a new computer over.
