mastodon 4.5.7

auld hairy scottish git in Toronto. Does futile things with electronics, including trying to sell them. This ended very badly. I've built and operated wind farms in many places: I may know what I'm talking about here.

I've been known as scruss since 1981. Some people know me by it and may not recognize my real name.
