Joined mastodonapp.uk back in Nov 2022. I have a 'backup' a/c on mendeddrum.org.

Oldish bloke, got to retirement age in 2024. Now retired, due to the old line about "when it stops being fun, stop doing it".

Anyway, old-school coder. I've worked with everything from punch-cards to Perl, via machine language and microcode, C, C++, SQL, etc, etc. Now a happy Linux user on Garuda.

Getting more radically 'left' as I get older. I despise all racists, homophobes, Nazis, etc.

“Incredibly mediocre” dude. Programmer. Bad with words. Enthusiastic cat-botherer. Okay dad and husband.

Linux nerd, game nerd, dad jokes, memes, opinions. (OMG, so many opinions.)

I am fascinated by all forms of musical expression, but I cut my teeth on heavy metal. I am an avid progger and free / classical jazz man, too. I welcome and encourage discussion.

Also a music gear nerd and Linux expert, questions are always welcome.

Por lo visto soy una persona bastante "bloqueable" con el tiempo (o un poco al menos), seguime si querés y si luego te pinta esa no hay drama... (¿en realidad es mucho melodrama? el % de bloqueo debe ser bastante bajo... pero resulta curioso al menos jajaj)

My username is a reference to https://wiki.lspace.org/Ponder_Stibbons, a geek who thinks of himself as the Unseen University's "token sane person". In reality he's as mad as the rest of the faculty.

With hindsight, perhaps this joke is a bit too obscure.
