Wait, what's this #BBCMicro #DomesdayProject page about a #BodgehamBadger? Now the crumpet proliferation is starting to make some kind of sense... #EMFCamp #CrumpetCamp
#Bodgeham, yep that's the one. Bodgeham-on-Wye, in the parish of Hackerly. Good old #BBCMicro #DomesdayProject. I knew it would be in there somewhere... #EMFCamp
Now, what's that place called again? Ah yes, #Bodgeham. Hereford and Worcestershire, as it used to be known. That's the one... #EMFCamp #BBCMicro #DomesdayProject
How does this #BBCMicro #DomesdayProject system work again? Ah, I see... #EMFCamp
Hello there, locally hosted copy of the #BBCMicro #DomesdayProject system. I wonder what mysterious delights are to be found when spelunking through your database? #EMFCamp
Imagining #Hexpansion Club... "For only £9.99/month, yes £9.99/month, we will send you an exciting new hexpansion - every month! Sometimes two or three if we have a few to get rid of... What will it be this month? A tiny plastic duck with glowing red eyes, or a miniature geiger counter to help you find any misplaced orphan sources? You'll never regret it as your house slowly fills up with weird hexagonal contraptions! For only £9.99/month!!" #EMFCamp #Tildagon
What if I bought a ton of breadboards, jumper wires, logic chips, CPUs and other components to EMFCamp and just set up somewhere making a communal breadboard computer anyone could help build or modify
@philpem Although to be fair the new look Gyrating Hexagonal Null Sector at #EMFCamp 2026 absolutely *slaps* https://martinh.net/talks/why2025/#/0/33
Reports are coming in about large scale #COVID infections from #WHY2025. Not even an outdoor camping festival can avoid being a superspreader event.
Tools like Afterparty 19 can be useful for tracking infections post-hoc if they're used by attendees. But that's going to be too late for a lot of people who perform knowledge work who are now at #LongCovid fatigue risk.
Future similar events need to review their policies and procedures to try and minimise the risk of the ongoing pandemic. With #EMFCamp spinning back up, is there a #COVID19 team working on monitoring, testing, ventilation etc.? I would love to volunteer my time and experience here, if it would be taken seriously by organisers.
@penguin42 @mcnewton I had two slightly terrifying thoughts over breakfast which I must infect people's brains with before I forget them...
1) Imagine retrocomputing as the ultimate hiding place to stash "low background" information for safety. Think Kiwix version of Wikipedia, Project Gutenberg etc...
2) Imagine a magical realist #EMFCamp centric version of the #DomesdayProject. The Bodgeham-on-Wye entry has extensive details of the hunt for the elusive #BodgehamBadger
Yay, finally finished my #WHY2025 slides! Now, when is my talk again?

Thanks to the awesome #c3voc team, the video of my #WHY2025 talk is already published:
https://media.ccc.de/v/why2025-241-the-well-is-poisoned-now-what-shall-we-drink
Now to finish the slides...
I'll be bringing some Nightmarket Interposer kits to WHY. DM, DECT or catch me in person if you'd like one. Free to a good home
Thanks to Gavin Chester for sorting! More infos on his site... https://www.gavinchester.com/Hexpansion.htm
Anyone have any tips for a newbie attending #why2025 ?
I like electronics, physics, retro tech, maths, rope and things that are intentionally on fire. Not necessarily all together/in that order. If you're running/involved in/attending/bringing a cool thing that sounds like it might be for me, please let me know.
If you were in or around #emfcamp in 2022 or 2024, we may have met there, feel free to say hello
Been working on something for #EMFCamp
