82mhz

@[email protected]

Electrical engineer, musician, out and about on two wheels (bike or Vespa), I read a lot of books (aiming for about one per week, mostly SciFi, biographies, non-fiction), coffee-addict.

I may write about tech, music, retro, books... Currently trying my hands at blogging.

Fed up with the corporate internet, which is what brought me here.

Why 82MHz? Well I was born in 1982, and I studied electrical and telecommunications engineering, so the MHz is a nod to this :)

[Edit]

It's contested, see reply.

Info comes from here - no idea if it's correct or not.

Do you have a source for this? I added the URL of the news article where I got this from to my post, they have some more info in the article.
If it turns out to be false, I'll delete it...

In today's video, I rant about "let's just make on single desktop or distro", and I explore why this wouldn't lead to success for desktops.

It was a fun one to make, going back to more "scripted / jok-ey" video!

"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

Actually, that's the definition of practicing.
