I’m here because I want to learn things and connect with people.

Wondering about my username? In a story by Kipling, Kolokoko Bird advised Elephant’s Child to go find out for himself. I like that sentiment. I am always trying to find stuff out.

Ok, guess it's time to introduce myself.
I'm a #maker, #retrogamer (#C64 #AMIGA), #papercrafter, #CarMechanic, #SoftwareDeveloper and so much more. I'll post many different things.
I just deleted my Twitter account, 'cause people there doing shitstorms on people defending science and now I fell a bit like homeless. Maybe I can find one in here?

I'm from Germany with some family in Canada. Anyway my english is a bit rusty.

She/her

Initially a guitar player and teacher. Then a designer and computer-er. I’m currently figuring out what I want to do next.

I listen to music (Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Charles Mingus, Wayne Shorter, Beethoven, Bach, Millennial Dad-Rock etc...) and read books (lots of popular science, anything that took my eye at the second-hand book shop up the road). I’m in the thrall of a small person. I like looking at trees.

I live on Yuggera Country.

I couldn't get the progress pride flag to work on my profile name so here just to make things absolutely clear: black lives matter, trans rights

Chinwag admin, fan of open communication standards, maintainer of communities, male comedienne.

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

That's all folks...
