#EMFCamp

Couldn't sleep from the heat (and the noise of the hi-flow window fans) so I got up early and did some more hacking on #emfcamp phone stuff.

SCHED (72433) tells you what's on next
WETHR (93847) gives a weather report
CALLS (22557) is how many calls the EMF phone system has handled
FOXF (3693) gives you a fox fact
AWOO (2966) gives you a wolf fact
... bar stats coming soon! ...

is anyone running a sticker swap stall at #emfcamp?

I'm bringing some Unsafe Warnings stickers to give out and it'd be cool to drop some there.

My todo list is shrinking and so my excitement has some space to grow!

Here’s what I’ll be up to at #EMFCamp this year:

- The arcade! Come visit the RRS Arcadia, an inter-dimensional spacefaring vessel that has touched down at EMF, packed with over 40 artifacts and portals to other worlds. We’ve had wonderful submissions from very talented developers and makers this year, come show them some love.
- @BodgehamVillage, for crumpets, cryptid finding, karaoke, pub quizzes, coconut shys, and other rural English village buffoonery.
- #emfnaturenet: @ewanp, @libbymiller and myself will be doing some bioacoustics monitoring and programming, including bat walks and playing with the data from our sensors in the Greenhouse’s dedicated batcave.
- Hexpansions! I’ll have a stash of 2 hexpansions. One is a bat-shaped bat detector with an ultrasonic mic and headphone jack, and the other is the Bodgeham Smart Pass, a NFC tag programmable over the Tildagon’s i2C interface.

Hey #emfcamp Tildagon hexpansion fans, question for you:

How vital is it that a hexpansion that you like has a working app for its main functionality before you pick it up? And would that affect whether you e.g. bought it at the hexpansion daymarket?

And now the prototype tetrapod has a friend (also made by @Lizzie) using the brilliant #emfcamp fabric by @moraghickman

Alt...

Two plush tetrapods side by side. The smaller one on the left is made from rainbow fabric. The larger one on the right is made from the dark and light EMF 2024 fabric.

For those going to #emfcamp, I will have the following boards available:

SAO-to-Hexpansion
Hexpansion-to-SAO
LED Filament Driver

Plus a couple of different filaments and space-y edge-lit acrylic attachments for the LED driver boards.

If you'd like me to set one aside for you, please let me know!

@info
If it's due to be too hot, is there a possibility of a small freezer to swop in/out freezer blocks?

📕 Stamps in the booklet

We told you there was space for stamps and we’ve seen you starting to make them, and having Questions.

- the booklet will have 8-10 x A6 pages for stamps or stickers
- you get a booklet when you get your wristband
- the pages are not divided into squares so there is no standard stamp size
- the paper is slightly shiny (see this 2022 vintage booklet)
- we recommend inks with a solvent that isn’t water
- info will have a special stamp

It's a long old drive up to #emfcamp

The #EMFCamp videos are out. This lightning-talks session, hosted by @summerbeth, features @prehensile, @Floppy, and me, rambling about my hat
