I make music and write and keep bees and live..

I have been involved in IT since the 1960s. A health crises brought that to an end in the 1990s. Now fully retired I produce and present radio shows which I provide free of charge for radio/web stations around the world. Main interest is the music of the 20th century. Also keen on old movies I find on You Tube. Love to read anything from cereal boxes to books.
I have been using #linux as a desktop since 1999. Started with #debian then #ubuntu now using #linuxmint and some #raspberrypi servers.

I write. Very slowly.
I read #fiction & #writing research & generally interesting articles.
I listen to music, audiobooks, & podcasts.
I watch things.

An #NZTwit. Possibly one of the first of the original exodus? Sorry about that. You can blame me for this place going to the dogs 😬

In the Nov'22 exodus, I followed everyone & anyone who followed me. Follows are not an endorsement etc etc.

Pōhuehue, NZ. I suppose you’d call me a leftie.

Short story writer from Aotearoa, or New Zealand, but have not looked up to see the Southern Cross for a while.

If I follow you, I'll usually explain why – and it won't be because you follow me.
