Whoever is absolutely blasting "Things Can Only Get Better" outside Number 10 while Sunak tries to announce a general election deserves an award

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.

How are people mostly communicating at #EMFcamp?

So far I'm in a couple of WhatsApp groups, a Signal group, following the hashtag on Mastodon, and attempting to get Matrix on my phone.

What's your preferred way of chatting with your fellow campers?

We have arrived! Flight was nice and smooth.

C130 and snowmobile, with people milling about
View out of the porthole of the plane, you can see a brown landscape with snow patches

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.

We've all seen the IBM presentation saying, a computer can never be held accountable therefore...

but if you rotate and adjust the gamma settings on the best versions of that image on the internet you can see further text through the page.

There’s something so incredibly broken with Google calendar when you track all your flights and travel appointments that take place in other timezones.

It auto-adjusts time stamps to your current timezone that you view your calendar in, so you see things like a flight at 4am or a hotel check in at noon, which you know are fundamentally wrong.

I could have done without every single thing I am involved in having a small crisis in the same week

If you're coming to #EMFcamp, I'll be giving a talk all about the UK's Contact Tracing app - and whether open source saved lives.
