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
Tonight I'm having "a double" which is a grown-up drink to which I add two marshmallows, and then take one out after getting worried about the amount of calories in it.
I had a great idea to order the cheapest bagpipes on AliExpress as a joke and to see how terrible a sound I could make, and have been thwarted by the inconvenient fact that there are no bagpipes on AliExpress.
Love that I left some of my job alert emails going, because it's nice to know that I could be getting paid less to work on ServiceNow development for the federal police if I ever decided job satisfaction was not for me.
Holy shit my GP seems to have royally fucked me over. I got two letters forwarded TODAY that have deadlines in the past.
Apparently my previous GP needs to have sent them a letter transferring prescription authority or something, and a) she left the clinic I saw her at, and b) the entire clinic closed, so I have no fucking idea where to start unpicking this fuckery.
Edit: I am venting and not looking for advice thank you.
cops if your quick
