@pete That looks cool... I should ride my fat bike more often...
Actually, I should ride more often.
Actually, these days, I should just ride...

(He / Him) 'The Fixer of things'
Gen-X IT Nerd, who likes tinkering with small computers, regular-sized bicycles, playing video (and latterly tabletop) games and learning interesting things. What is 'interesting' changes on a daily basis. macOS and Linux user but tries not to be an insufferable c-word about it. Showing me Windows might make me grumpy though.
Took it to heart when someone told me "Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional".

@matthartley My IT origin story involves a leaked copy of the original Wolfenstein 3D, a friend with an Amiga, two modems and a loop line in NYC.
He used to try to get me to laugh during the setup ... as I'd get a US operator saying things like "Hello, I have a collect call from Austin Maestro... will you accept?" which is a bit like saying you had a collect call from AMC Pacer ...
@matthartley Phone phreaking was active through the 80s and 90s with sound cards producing the tones needed to break operator control ... no cereal required .... so I'm told. 😳
