Happy 4th Birthday!

By ChinWag | May 13, 2019 | Category Uncategorized

I’m just scraping in with about an hour to spare here – I planned a much bigger post, with lots of reflection about where we’ve been and where we’re going. A summary of some notable events maybe … but today turned out to be really busy and lots of work happened instead. Anyway, today marks […]

By ChinWag | January 8, 2018 | Category Status

Mastodon Deployed

By ChinWag | June 27, 2017 | Category Features

About two months ago, there was a big buzz that built up around Mastodon, a decentralised social network. I was really busy with the Melbourne Comedy Festival at the time, and didn’t get to take a look.
