I'm supposed to do an #Introduction.

53 year old sysadmin. Mostly #Linux, though Solaris, AIX, HP/UX and *BSD in my mis-spent past.

Currently swept away professionally by a shift to #devops, drowning in the deep end of #kubernetes, #aws, #azure and whatever new thing the developers fever dream.

Father of three, step-father of five. Yes, really.

Lapsed bass player. Lapsed woodworker. Lapsed #bengals fan.

Basic nerdistry (and masochism) means I run my own mastodon server under my own domain.
