A photo of the location.

Ahoy! We have sprinkled some public phones around the site, we will be adding some more later this afternoon!

Does anyone have a rainbow lanyard or similar at #EMFCamp that I could swap for a pound or a cup of tea or a sticker or a hug?

Last minute #EMFCamp hat adjustment. It needed buttons! What self-respecting hat doesn't have buttons‽

Have not had time to dry my hair but have had time for breakfast. 3ish hours (plus a stop) to Ledbury. #EMFCamp

Selfie of James and me in the car. We have very silly expressions.

One full English and one veggie breakfast in the posh cafe.

If I run into you at #EMFCamp and don't recognise you, don't be offended:

1. I'm an old man and my memory is hazy.
2. I know most of you from "online" and faces are a strange abstraction.

Arriving at #EMFcamp the entire journey from Scotland was 67 yellow cars long

View from inside a vehicle looking out at a parking area. There are several parked cars and a grassy field, with tents visible in the distance under a blue sky. A covered object is positioned behind the vehicle.

Hello #EMFCamp!

Asked BBC radio6 for a cloud busting shout out to all the volunteers and participants @emf today. Let's see! Let me know if you hear the track I picked for you all ❤️ 🎶 #emfcamp

We are up way too early for the #EMFCamp roadtrip

So I think I'm finally packed for #EMFCamp, just a 3hr drive down in the morning

I will be at the Info Outpost immediately adjacent to the #emfcamp entrance tent much of the day Thursday.
Please say hello!

(I probably will not have the flagging tape headband on)

A selfie of a person with a bit of flagging tape wrapped around their head.

No joy in the #EMFcamp ticket lottery. It was all stuff the kids wanted to do but I'm sure they will find more than enough happening while meandering the wonderland.

Anyone else having problems with the #emfcamp map.

I've got no map :) just villages @info

It's back... thank the web people (they are spiders arn't they)

Arrived at #EMFCamp ✅
Helped with @milliways build up ✅
Took a shower ✅
Spooked by @emfSpiders in the shower ✅

Last minute duck de-bugging in a field about 5 miles away from #EMFCamp - Wozniquack and six other NFC-enabled @emfducks will be in place for the game to start at lunchtime tomorrow!

Alt...

A rubber duck sits on a table next to a craft knife. Also pictured is a phone with a greeting screen saying that the user has befreiended a duck named Wozniquack.

Hello EMF, all our POTS telephone lines are currently fully operational!

Adapters will be available from the shop from tomorrow around lunchtime hopefully!

#emfcamp

Do I spend the evening trying to debug and fix my website before #emfcamp or do I hold up a sign when I get that that says "I have root but have forgotten the magic incantations, please help me fix my stupid website" and see what happens?

Why yes, I did just talk myself out of packing a small form factor PC and USB screen in case I wanted an on site server for some reason.

#emfcamp

If there an #EMFCamp sticker swap?

I have many, many stickers. Some from open source projects which no longer exist 😁

@emf we have a new game #spaceinvaders #emfcamp

I've got a few tutorials for the #EMFCamp badge.

https://shkspr.mobi/blog/tag/tildagon/

That'll show you how to set the time, draw an image, and generate a QR code 😊

OK so everything I tried for the corset wiring to make her "ribs" didn't work so I've drawn it on by hand whilst wearing. But I think it's alright! Good enough!! ❤️ 7of9 cosplay 99.999% there for #emfcamp Saturday night raving 🤖
