Only a few days until #emfcamp !
don't forget to pack a few bottles of your favorite (local) #cider and bring them to #CIDRleaks at @milliways on the evening of day two!

we gonna taste them all, it'll be great!

Anyone empathise? I can find my young persons railcard from 34 years ago but I can't find my #EMFCamp badge from the year before last. 🤷‍♂️

@emfSpiders have you been playing with my tent since the last #EMFCamp ?

This is going to be extremely fun #emfcamp

if I ask really nicely will #EMFcamp let me in Wednesday evening

If you are a @matrix fan and you come find me at #EMFCamp later this week, then I have a neat badge hexpansion to share with you (subject to availability). An NFC token for your Matrix handle or favourite room 👀

Alt...

A black 3d printed hexpansion with the Matrix m logo in white.

Alt...

Six black 3d printed hexpansions with the Matrix m logo in white, arranged around a mixing hexagon shape. All of the hexpansions have the m logo facing in correct orientation - the tokens are reversible so it shows correctly depending on the badge location.

I've signed out of slack, turned on my out-of-office, dropped my work email/calendar etc from my phone...

I'm now in EMF mode!

Just got a couple more project bits to get done, do my hair, pack the car, pick up the van, pack the van, get to site, discover what I forgot to bring, decide I can live without it and GET STUCK IN!

OMG I'm so excited!!!

Bad weather for ducks #EMFCamp

Why do I own two sets of cat-ears? Unclear. Am I bringing them to #EMFCamp? Yes

Alt...

Two sets of sequinned cat-ears

Right - I have some short cables with female dupont pin connectors on the end; I want to connect those up to a long ribbon cable, also female.

Other than rewiring or making a mini circuit board to attach pin headers to for both sides and connect them up, what are my options for joining them in a nice compact way? #EMFCamp

In case you're still looking for an #emfcamp ticket there are a bunch listed on the ticket exchange: https://www.emfcamp.org/wiki/ticket-exchange

@eta Are we allowed to cycle around the site at #emfcamp?

Anyone coming to #EMFCamp who has a 12V adapter for Nexstar / Celestron telescopes?
Please could I borrow it?

Turns out leaving 8 AA batteries in your loft is *not* a sensible idea!

Alt...

Rotten battery pack.

Just realised that while this will have electronic shenanigans in it for #EMFCamp, I could also put miniatures in it for gaming conventions. That would be a totally normal thing to do.

I swear I had a roll of ribbon cable, but can I find it? Can I, bollocks. #emfcamp

Further progress #emfcamp

Is this about #EMFCamp? Because I think the answer to both would be, "Uh, probably?"

Just doing a little research

I am peripherally involved with an incredible #EMFCamp installation and I am very excited about it

if you are free for #emfcamp but couldn't get a ticket, you may be able to snag one last minute from the ticket exchange.

Here's one anyway: https://github.com/cablespaghetti/emfdash

Meet the team! #VLC #EMFCamp

One of my friends has just said he’s going to be late arriving at #EMFCamp because he has to take his vintage electric milk float to London for the day

Which is possibly the most EMF excuse for missing part of EMF I can think of

I know that a lot of my toots recently have been around #EMFCamp, and I have been retooting EMF related messages. I realise that for people that can't make it, either because of other commitments, finances, or being too far away, that you may not appreciate these messages.

Well, don't worry. EMF is going to be rubbish. Nobody there will enjoy themselves. In fact, to relieve the boredom, some people might make up stories about fantastically impossible things. It's all just going to be a bit crap all around, so you should feel lucky you can't make it.

There, I think that worked well, and those suckers fell for it. Oh wait... is this still recording? Crap! Turn the microphone off no

The #emfcamp volunteer registration system is open! I highly recommend doing a volunteer shift if you haven't before.

You get to meet new people, and you get a free meal from the volunteer kitchen in return which is 1000% worth it - the food there is amazing and caters to every dietary restriction. Plus if you volunteer for two shifts you get a voucher for a guaranteed ticket for EMF2028.

2024 was one of our smoothest years ever because so many people volunteered!

@michael @samvie jealous! But I have #EMFCamp coming up...

RE: https://milliways.social/@obsidian/116906807878621421

Key reminders:

- Sign up for volunteer shifts.
- We'll have coins, pins, flags and patches.
