Retro enthusiast restarting my hobby to have a fun outlet to escape the horrors of the day.

#Infosec by day, #Debian #Linux with #Emacs for #RetroComputing fun at night!!

half grown-up Commodore 64 kid, RC2014 enthusiast, Linux platform engineer and hobbyist retro coder (C / FORTH / BASIC and a little bit of ASM). FORTH aficionado and Z80 convert.

Remember: 64K should be enough for everyone!

SysOp of telnet BBSes "Wintermute BBS" (wintermutebbs.ddns.net:23) and the infamous "RC-BOX BBS" (rc2014.ddns.net:2014), the world's first and (currently) only #rc2014 based telnet BBS !!

Things I nerd out about, in no particular order:
- Pinball Machines / Arcade cabinets
- Vintage Computers (mostly lBM)
- Electronics, MCUs, Small Blinky Things
- Laser Cutting, 3D Printing, Dye Sublimation, and general DIY/“Maker” stuff
- Letterpress (I own an antique letterpress that I restored)
- Spacey and Sciency stuff
- Internet of Things things
- Occasional low-grade weebness (sorry in advance)

Likes high level abstractions and low level bit twiddling. Spends spare time on ASMotor, gateware and retro computing.

I like old hardware and to start projects I'll never finish.
