@jtruk there was some lovely tiny crossovers of emf hacker people who know the Rabo/CG stuff and who had preordered the current book... we did under the counter punk art poetry sales in the night market!

Well... the traders had an amazing time tonight in the night market.. we had SUCH a laugh and a fair few bevvies! So many silly things were done with the "shrillin chickens" :) Thanks @mattgrayyes

@Edent out of habit I always place my hands on non pin numbers on cash points whilst it asks about language selection and other pre pin stuff... ever since reading cyberia back in the 90's which had mention of this.

I didn't get my ass in gear to do a advert for @emf films crew.. but the sales case I've made deffo has a punky vibe! Come see me and chat at the

A short clip. I open an old fashioned suitcase covered in stickers, inside is glowing yellow and filled with storper kits.

Me and Harri tinkering with a bit of garden including a first attempt at a Roycroft frame pack. Such a neat load bearing idea. Might also be a way to get big light boxes across :)

Met a really interesting person this morning who is setting up a bike business which includes frame building from recycled materials. They want to learn @FreeCAD so they have DL'd my book. I know very little about frames, but I wanted some practice so...

Lovely little sun struck patch spotted on a walk just now.

I've been experimenting with loading photos not taken on the toy camera and loading them onto the camera just to print them out... I think you need to get a small file size and maybe(?) remove metadata... though it may also be an issue around how some software writes a JPG.

I don't know if anyone else has figured this out yet, but if not, I'm working on it through trial and error.

@rasterweb @pwalck @erik @ge0rg @tobbsn I've had another play with GIMP here, I can't get anything to work! I've tried manually creating a small jpg or indeed editing a jpg off the camera and it always breaks. I have checked in gimp and there is no real metadata written about these images etc.

concretedog,
@concretedog@mastodon.social avatar

@rasterweb @pwalck @erik @ge0rg @tobbsn I've tried really small ones.. sub 700.. jpg's taken on the camera are usually over 2.5MB though?

First little test prints of some glow in the dark @badge shims.. just some M3 bolt holes for now. Will tinker with other ideas in @FreeCAD and hopefully bring odds n sods for trades! :)

Same hexagonal printed parts in the dark showing they are glow in the dark!

Hey @badge @emf I'm just laying out a hexspansion template in @FreeCAD and wondering about dimensions of the slots at the side of the connector? I can't see the info on this drawing.. https://tildagon.badge.emfcamp.org/hexpansions/

Did a load of maintenance and repair on a beloved tent today! Used my pretty much little pocket/bag diy sewing kit.. It's been refined contents wise a lot over time!

Thinking of swapping distro, moving away from Arch and back towards Debian.. anyone got any recomendations? Deffo want to avoid snap and not use flatpak.
