i have been afk a bit. I had a hernia surgery and a lot of #emfcamp fomo.

I'll try to post more often in the near future

Now THIS is solarpunk.

Wonder how long before the whole of #EMFCamp could be algae-powered?

@sophiegarrett I have been tempted to get an #EMFCamp tattoo for the longest time. This is beautiful

It has a more correct shape from this angle

And I now have an #EMFCamp tattoo

My left arm tattooed with the EMF 2026 logo

Been out with one of our #EMFCamp first-timers. Delighted to hear that he's been trying to explain EMF to his colleagues and coming up short

A quick(ish) write-up of where we're up to so far in the #Quiltagon saga, because writing it up and telling people about it keeps me accountable to myself and more likely to carry on with this project!

(If only I'd come up with this idea while i was still at #EMFCamp where I could have added it to the project pledge book!)

Q2: Do you ever suffer from makers block, and if you do, how do you reignite the creative juices?

Not really. I suffer mostly from procrastination, good old executive dysfunction. There is always a list of stuff I could do, and would probably enjoy doing, if I let myself.

That said, I can highly recommend #EMFCamp for reigniting your various juices.

@jonty @recantha It can run of any size of circular screen now. I was planning on building a 2 player projector based console for the arcade for next #EMFcamp with this, but now I’m thinking we need a planetarium again!

@recantha @jonty So I'm a published app author now. https://apps.badge.emfcamp.org/apps/00243224

The longer I spend here the more I can live in denial about #emfcamp being finished 😭 . So many wonderful and fascinating talks by incredible speakers ❤️ https://media.ccc.de

I'm beyond proud to be a part of the team that builds #emfcamp. It's full of talented, driven, hardworking people who Get Shit Done. Even in a brutal heatwave. In a field of neurodivergent people who are moderately-crap at looking after ourselves, we will gently bully each other into taking care of themselves. It's a weirdly self-balancing system. I had an absolute whale of a time. I'm still very sad it's over.

We have to make the real world a little bit more like EMF. Just a little bit more ❤️

Hey it's me on the BBC!
Please note in the background: a tildagon and Shaun the Sheep from #emfcamp, a Gravity Knight from my students, and various political bits like the Working For A Google-Free City poster from Meatspace Press.

A picture of a zoom call with me with a bunch of BBC labelling around it showing that I'm on The Context on BBC News.

(I need it to be compatible with the #FreePBX I am using with the other SIP 'phones I am using for the home VOIP. I have a selection of older Panasonic handsets which worked at #EMFcamp before COVID, as well as a triplet of less proprietary Gigaset units that also come with me.)

Loving the advert show reel from #EMFCamp! Excellent compilation by @films
(And yes, there are two of my adverts in there. Can you spot which ones?)

@rc2014 @films I hadn't heard of #EMFCamp until this year but I'm really enjoying following the hashtag.

I think I'd be bemused and confused but fully at home if I ever attended. 😁

About to book my #EMFCamp tattoo for this weekend I think

We've blogged about how things went at EMF 2026!

@edward I just saw your #LightningTalk at #emfCamp

https://media.ccc.de/v/emf2026-376-1-lightning-talks

Well done for managing to fix it!
It's so annoying when supposed experts say they can't fix something that turns out to be relatively simple 😡

@jonty @recantha Look what you’ve made me do! #EMFCamp #tildagon #spaceagon

Alt...

Asteroids run anywhere code working on the badge.

@nottinghack We're hoping to have a permanent version the #EMFCamp phone system soon, we'd love to have you (and others) hook up to it! Stay tuned for updates soon..!

Please enjoy this extremely cursed occurrence from #emfcamp teardown

A 32A single-phase power cable lies on the dry grass. Somehow, a tent peg has punctured clean through the middle of it.

A different angle of the tent peg poking through the cable.

Going back to my day job after working flat out on #emfcamp for two months is *rough*

Got mpremote setup for #EMFCamp Tildagon shenanigans, and have familiarised myself with how to make apps…

…Now I just need to come up with an idea for apps/hexpansions haha

How do y’all do it, because ideas is not something I have installed (it 404s too often haha)

"So then people kept recognising me from Mastodon"

"Mastod... sorry what's that?"

#EMFCamp

In the pub, trying to explain #EMFCamp to Regular People, sounding deranged

I *know* a lot of people took photos of me at #EMFCamp

So, where are they all?

Film photos from #emfcamp, my first time shooting 35mm, go easy on me 😅

Did anyone get a photo of the 'chaise long vehicle" at #emfcamp ? It was amazing but always moving too fast for me to get a photo!

I didn’t want to read any of the posts anyone else has written about #emfcamp 26 until I’d written my own. Now I’m free to read them and discover how much better they captured the indescribable than I was able:

https://ides.dev/notes/electromagnetic-field-2026/

Just spent an hour on a Teams call.

I wanna be back in the field. #EMFCamp

@jtruk

Maybe? I'm learning all this on fly post- #EMFCamp , I'll give this a go and see what happens

Thanks!!

£3 fax machine works, and it is so cute and tiny! #emfcamp #emfcamp2028
