My apologies for avoiding your celebrations, frustrations etc in here over the past year, but I realised Twitter brings me the opposite of joy - recent occasional forays back in confirm such. I remain nearby but prefer to communicate via photos here, or other platforms.❤️

Here’s me in the late 90s proudly wearing my @3RRRFM t-shirt at a Linux installfest (where I somehow managed to squeeze Debian onto someone’s 100MB hard disk - no, that’s not a typo - one hundred megabytes). A few years later I actually won a computer in a RRR radiothon!

Very much in awe of my #REA teammates pulling off a smooth first-ever fully-remote #hackday event in #REAio36 over the past few days. A lot of behind-the-scenes twiddling, but it turned out all right on the night. @cagey135 is a mistress of calm. Chapeau! #inventorship

Have you subscribed to @3RRRFM yet? Not only are you keeping an excellent thread of local Melbourne radio alive, but their stickers make your laptop 25% _better_. My musical brain expanded so much thanks to RRR over the years.

Quick shoutouts to two people who really influenced the way I tackle things: @TWindscheffel for teaching me that people come first. You stretch, you challenge, but you never break people. And @Cos for teaching me that every problem is important, but some more than others.

Happy 30th birthday, #Linux ! I turned up to a (video) meeting of the user group @linuxusersvic that I helped some friends start about 28 years ago, and still going strong - much respect to the people who put in the hard work over so many years to keep it alive.
