#emfcamp folk! It’s time for the plush #Tetrapod giveaway! This will be running the whole month of October. The draw will be on the 1st November 2026 (01/11/2026).

First of all, here is the lovely tetrapod you will be playing for! (Emfcamp fabric from 2024 designed by @moraghickman). It is made of cotton and stuffed with synthetic hollow fill toy stuffing!

Alt...

A collage of four photographs showing the end tips of the plush tetrapod. One shows a water turbine and a bs13 plug, the next is an angle poise lamp, bottom left is a sunflower, and bottom right shows a chemical flash with an unspecified bubbling orange liquid. The fabric is a black background.

Alt...

The four “faces” of the emf plush tetrapod. The fabric is black and amongst the things on display is a wind turbine, a river, railway tracks, solar panels, grasses, a water wheel, and the emf logo. The major colours of these items are blue, yellow, orange, and green.

Ok, so who knew this existed and didn't tell me?

It's a cafe, where model trains deliver food direct to your table. They even called it Nibbles Railway Cafe.

Definitely an idea for a future #emfcamp

Update #emfcamp

WIP Playable Tetris table made from Tetris blocks from the #emfcamp swap shop. Still needs more of a clean and some light blocking between modules, but getting there. After that I just have to build the table part 😅

I’m currently making one more #tetrapod from #emfcamp fabric than I actually need to (don’t ask).

If I ran a raffle based on proof of donation of say, a minimum of £5 to a trans+ inclusive charity (eg Good Law Project, Gendered Intelligence) would that be something people would be interested in? #lgbtqia #Queer #QueerCommunity

@Edent There were quite a few #EMFCamp magic smoke enthusiasts at least year's #Gaussfest

Alt...

Photo showing a Tesla coil and other mysterious high voltage equipment in the background, with a black and yellow warning sticker on a pillar in the foreground. The sticker reads: "Caution. Magic smoke cannot be reinserted once released", and there is a smoking IC inside the warning triangle.

Not entirely sure what's going on here but it has a lot of #EMFCamp energy

Ok, stage 1 of the #Quiltagon is complete: I've got a solid fabric layer, with the planets all in place.

Still to do:

- screen (and bits to go onto it - awaiting material)
- LED panels for behind the planets (awaiting materials because I'm NOT using steel bone for that)
- Sequins
-masking layer to hide the LEDs
- batting layer
- backing

However this is now recognisably a full #Tildagon and I've got more than a snowball's chance of finishing this thing before #EMFCamp 2028 (sequins take time!)

@russss how did you end up doing #CO2 monitoring at #emfcamp? Between #fosdem and #eventinfra we are close to spending 10k€ on #airgradient because they do most things right, and we were not able to get our own hardware spun up.

Intention is for everything to go into the eventinfra loan pool so ALL the conferences can monitor their environments.

Before we make that step, we wanted to check if it makes sense to collaborate on fully open hardware, firmware, and software stack instead.

Never underestimate the irritation and stress can be caused by a small, paranoid, petty man with a tiny amount of power who has realised they can’t bullshit you like the others around you.

And the others may be fine to you normally, but they then sit silently endorsing the behaviour when it happens to you, or worse, laugh along when a joke is made at a (woman) engineer’s expense when she isn’t on the call to defend herself.

@thisisjofrank raised #yesallmen to me and others earlier this year at #emfcamp. And she remains right.

Ok #emfcamp peeps, listen up.

I’ve nearly finished the tetrapod for the raffle. The raffle will be open to everyone - you don’t have to donate for legal reasons, but I’d appreciate if entry was accompanied by proof of donation to a nominated organisation that works for trans people/nb in the uk.

PLEASE CLIMB ON THE MATHS, one of my very fondest memories of #EMFCamp 2026

So, the modular synth workshop I did at #emfcamp this year has obviously turned into an obsession and has drained my wallet 🫣😆

Here’s what I’ve put together to make weird noises…

#eurorack #synthesiser #modularsynth

Alt...

A music thing modular workshop system on the left. A 42hp 3U skiff is on the right, and to the front is a Noodlebox serendipity sequencer.

Meet the first lemming I made for #ProjectLemmings! It is either a natural born blocker (I didn't set out to make it one!) or really wants to hug someone.

Alt...

A crocheted lemming in blocker position, with its arms wide.

The @Extelec lightning detector I assembled at #EMFCamp has been successfully hacked to trigger my camera!
Just in time for a nice lightning storm tomorrow? 👀 🤞

(I wasn’t expecting the light switch to trigger the lightning detector but I guess it makes a tiny detectable spark)

(No, the Pi isn’t doing anything here - it was just convenient to solder the Extreme Kits board directly to my original lightning trigger board)

@emf Now absolutely kicking myself for not slipping a "welcome to the one place that isn't corrupted by capitalism" joke into the #emfcamp opening ceremony

@emf I also tried to get permission to use this incredible Tim Curry artwork by Michelle Urra, but unfortunately the rights are held by Vice and they wouldn't return my emails.

RIP Tim. You really did escape to the one place that isn't corrupted by capitalism. #emfcamp

Alt...

A painting of Tim Curry as depicted in Red Alert, saying "spaaaace". Behind him are buildings covered in tesla coils, and somehow blimps that are sharks.

I tried to pay Tim Curry for a custom "SPAAAACE" video to use at the space-themed @emf this year, but repeatedly failed to get it organised.

One for my "eternal regrets" list. #emfcamp

After much work and testing I've FINALLY got the text-based adventure I wrote for #EMFCamp online!

You are Name Namesley, an undercover agent posing as a software developer at the world's softest bank. But where is that mysterious honking noise coming from?!

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/

I was lucky enough to play Null Sector at #EMFCamp this year (8pm on Sunday) and I had an absolute blast introducing people to the new wave of UK Breakbeat Hardcore!

Unfortunately I'm a clumsy oaf, and accidentally stopped my recording about 3 minutes in...

So instead I've recreated the set, based on what I had on the USB and what I think I played!
