I'm a computer geek from way back, especially in the areas of programming, networking and sysadmining. By day, I work in digital accessibility.

Received a late-life diagnosis with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attendtion-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) two years ago, and am still learning about the implications on my life.

Enjoy our household pets - dogs, cats, snakes, frogs and a bearded dragon. Also enjoy astrophotography, Lego

Does anyone know if these types of events happen in #melbourne? I’d love to see some ND comedy. @robinince #comedy #neurodiversity

I just bit the ears off a chocolate bunny, and then in a stern voice said "now listen to me." For those wondering about my mental state.

This morning was the first time in a long time that my brain failed its POST, and had to be powered off again for 30 minutes before booting properly.

I used to send a spreadsheet to the Exec Team with "Fuck Off" in the very bottom right hand cell, white text on a white cell. Nearly got caught out when my boss couldn't email it to external auditors, failing the email profanity filter. IT never worked out why it wouldn't send.

I am again reminded that there are (understandably) people who are native US/CA/UK/etc English speakers, but are "digital native" enough that they do not know what the phrases "top of the hour " 🕑 / "bottom of the hour" 🕜 mean.
