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
Me: I'm so tired, why does it feel like today was so long?
Also me: You started at 5:30am.
Me: I have a heap of stuff to do. Maybe I'll have a coffee.
Also me: You could just stop doing things and maybe go to bed early and do things in the morning instead.
Me: Mmm, coffee.
Also me: For fuck's sake.

Here's a simple rule I think we'd all benefit from.
If I haven't heard *of* your service, I shouldn't ever hear *from* your service.
