So @jamesbridle granted my wish and made a fediverse bot that posts the latest images from the Mars Curiosity Rover.

It is very appropriately hosted on botsin.space: https://botsin.space/@marslandscapes

@emf build-up team arrived on site today. Day -8.

I am still in my office at home talking to suppliers about tents. Doesn't seem real.

Wales has launched their own "metaverse" and it is indistinguishable from Second Life circa 2006.

There is a big dragon. There are small dragons. You can ride a cable car. I have met exactly one other player.

I can say with confidence that "an attendee building a service on our internal phone network that validates juggling notation inputted over DMTF" is not the most niche thing at the event, but it comes close.

I hope this email finds you. The email knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The email delivery subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the email from a server where it is to a server where it isn't, and arriving at a server where it wasn't, it now is.

We urgently need more @emf sponsors - if we do not secure more, we will have to make tough decisions.

Tickets cover base costs, but sponsors pay for lovely things like our free childcare and talk transcription. Every little helps!

You know the "repeat the previous text" trick to get initial chatbot prompts?
