"What is the payload size of a fully laden UDP datagram?" is not a question I was expecting to answer this morning.

I'm at the point where civilisation and me are on different pages.

An Evri parcel was "delivered" to me and signed for. But not actually delivered. (not that that EVER happens with Evri)

Evri told me to chase the supplier.

@mw1cgg I've just gone down the line of making a long ethernet cable, only to realise the only thing that will use it is my laptop, and that has WiFi. :)

So.. yes..

It occurs to me that a bunch of people I know online will be at EMF and it would be nice to have a pint with them.

Can this be arranged?

Now. I am a 6'7" trans woman and thus lots of people recognise me, but I have a shit memory for names and faces. I think I am not alone in that.

The sight of a bunch of geeks all with large name badges will be funny.

Extelec,
@Extelec@mstdn.social avatar

@JennyList I also have a terrible memory for people, but happy to arrange for a pint.

Maybe we need to make a beer list ?

I was sharing this because of the lovely name for this tool, when I spotted the dimensions. I know what they mean but it would be funny if it fits in a matchbox

I guess for next year I’m going to have to submit a talk to get a day pass? 🤔

What’s the least dull topic? “Bending MicroPython to my whims”, or “writing chip drivers in Python against my better judgement”?

Extelec,

@gadgetoid how about reasons not to write drivers in python.

@kaybee335 I always carried a pair of terminators, first call was the mid point, then binary chop from there, but as you say it always required crawling under every table in the premises.
