If anyone bought/traded an #emfcamp #hexpansion with me, and something doesn't work - you broke a filament, etc:

Just reach out and I'll make it right.

If you bought one, know that the proceeds went into trading with kids who made *anything*, free ones for Orga who don't get to participate so much, and one to a starry-eyed medic in Null Sector who was given a badge and didn't know how to get hexpansions.

"What did you do on the last night at #EMFCamp ?"
"Spent an hour outside the bar yelling 'MOOOOOONNNNNN' at people. It worked, too"

Disappointed to hear that a number of people were ejected from #emfcamp - is this the first time? Hopefully it'll be the last.

Home. I think someone missed me. #EMFCamp

A black and white cat is being cuddled by a pasty white human.

had a fantastic time at #emfcamp, seeing so many lovely people, raving at nullsector and being slow-cooked in the heat :D I of course brought the infrared camera, all the vibrant colours of emf are gone through it's lens. Even the gold member lounge turned silver :D #emf2026 #infrared

Alt...

an infrared photo of a camping area surrounded by trees. All leaves and tents are bright white, pale, glowing. the sky is blue. there's a pole with a rocket ontop

Alt...

a dome tent in infrared, under a blue sky and a bright white tree. it is surrounded by other tents and trees. all is pale and glowy

Alt...

a photo of a landscape. a sloped hill full of trees, topped by blue sky. all leaves are bright white. a surreal scene

Alt...

a bunch of white tents under a white tall tree. the sky above is pale blue. the grass also is white. some fairy-lights run through the photo

And then I saw @mattgrayyes from The Internet

For anyone that missed the ET advert shown before various films by @films in Stage C

It's here:

It's a cut down version of a video by melodysheep - who very graciously gave me permission to turn it into an advert.

If I remember, costuming isn't very popular in #mastodon world, but we did get a few outfits out at #EMFcamp2026 #cybergoth #cyberlox #nullsector #EMFcamp #furry

Also very funny to me that this scanner (which is at least as old as me!) has a higher resoloution than my epson wf-2380 document printer scanner that I bought a few years back #emfcamp

...still got it working though :) You can inject Epson's ESC/I commands to trick it into ignoring lamp replacement warnings and it'll work fine with Vue Scan after (I'm missing the tray so the film is mislaigned, buy hoping to 3D print a replacement) https://gist.github.com/hevansDev/a8c5fc4c2d732ddd9d6bdf7418b95f84 #emfcamp

Check out this fantastic talk featuring live film developling at #emfcamp https://media.ccc.de/v/emf2026-78-1-film-is-not-dead-live-developing-on-stage by Alexander Baxevanis. Clip below features my live reaction to him mentioning that he couldn't find drivers for the film scanner I just picked up from the swap shop 😅

For the #emfcamp / #emfcamp2026 folk: Do you have photos of EMF-IX ? please share them as I was a bit busy running around the camp site to take nice photos :)

Sleep debt update post- #emfcamp

Some idiot booked me an early morning flight today. It was past-me, and I kind of hate his guts right now.

I should probably not be allowed to operate heavy machinery at the moment, so why not go rent a car in a different country and drive for a couple of hours?

😴

Alt...

A constantly rising graph of sleep debt currently at over 9 hours

Back at my desk, post #emfcamp and er, my mind and body aren't willing.

My ears are, though! Currently hoovering up everything from:

Laurie Black - synth pop with attitude: https://laurieblack.bandcamp.com/

Polymath - how the hell have I never heard these prog rockers before: https://wearepolymath.bandcamp.com/album/something-deeply-hidden

@lpbkdotnet - proper UK hardcore, whistle posse style-e. 10/10 glow sticks: https://www.mixcloud.com/lpbkdotnet/

Hey @joeress you see Lunduke has a problem with us burning an effigy of Elongated Muskrat at #EMFCamp the other night ? 🤣

Checked in to Enterprise Car & Van Hire, 5 Pettman Crescent, Woolwich, United Kingdom

lovely to hire an electric van for #EMFCamp. reasonably priced, quick to charge, and a decent range.

Breakfast at Teabay (1961) is a seminal film about a not-so-young nerd who becomes interested in breakfast whilst traveling home from #EMFCamp up the M6.

Scored 0/10 on Rotten Tomatoes as the food is all quite fresh and lovely.

I think I'm on my third minor "shit I've left my dect phone somewhere" panic of the day

Perhaps I should just be carrying one at all times until I've adjusted back to the real world

Finally home! Journey started at 11:20am at #emfcamp after several hours packing up and ended at home at 2:45am. We went via a shower at Heathrow (with some Singapore noodles), and a customs check on Madeira where they just wanted to know what @advancedrubbish ‘s DJ controller was, and ignored all the British snacks in our new fancy TCP tote (ty @andypiper ) and a border check into Schengen at Lisbon where I was complimented on my hair colour by the border guard 😎

Second plane late due to slow provision of buses. But home hopefully in a few hours… #emfcamp
