Thank you, appealingly priced and reasonably reviewed festival tent. I will never forget our first time together.

@jtruk Which tent, and where from? For future reference, I mean? 🙂

Great talk from @Edent about open sourcing the NHS contact tracing app. Very funny, too 🙂

Really feeling like I have lost my "Raspberry Pi Mojo" these days. I've lost / lessened the skills that I took for granted and it is biting me in the butt.

Great. Now I need to create my own Tiny Toolkit. :-) Great talk.

@biglesp I've got sort-of several, but nothing as neat as he was suggesting 🙂 Something pencil-case sized.

Overwhelmed by the schedule at #emfcamp ? See it in a slightly more digestible format using my scheduler/timetable functionality. Just message me or email me - mike@recantha.co.uk - to register and I'll set your account up 🙂 Might as well join in the fun seeing as I'm not going!

By the end of this, Larry The Cat will have gone through more PMs than 'Boris' Johnson has had mistresses.

@alexanderhay I think you underestimate the number of mistresses! LOL

Wordpress being used for Ecommerce just makes my head get confused.

Just use an actual E-commerce software!

recantha,
@recantha@mastodon.social avatar

@Extelec @Ryanteck It's free. It doesn't come much more affordable than that. It's "fine", but limited unless you start REALLY messing about with it ;-)

Raspberry Pi just launched a Connect, a new VNC service that works with Pi OS 12 and Wayland and lets you access your Pis from any browser via a web UI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgbTNZD1Vcw

recantha,
@recantha@mastodon.social avatar

@geerlingguy Is this a better solution than VNC, or is it reactive to Wayland breaking that? 🙂

Another member of my family has cancer. Luckily it has been caught early and so they have the best chance of treatment and survival. Also, fuck cancer!

@biglesp As you say. F-k cancer. :-(

Thanks to my doggo, I spilt coffee on my good keyboard, so today I am using my backup 10 dollars super basic keyboard. Feels weird.

And this one is much wider because it has the numpad, and so every time I reach for my mouse, I hit the numpad instead. It will be a fun day at work

@stfn Swiftly! To Amazon!

Long shot but does anyone know the spec of the screws used in SEGA Master System control pads? The heads are totally rusted out on the ones I have and crumble when torqued with a screwdriver, need to replace them all. Thankfully the pad is still working though. Cheers!

@davespice Ryanteck@fosstodon.org might be able to find out? He's into retro

I fear I am somewhat late to the party by reading Children of Time now, but who cares? Reading it now! It's bloody brilliant!

Does anyone remember the #RaspberryPi-powered FUZE? Someone's contacted me about trying to find the documentation (that's no longer available online). Has anyone got a copy?

The Pi 5 is the best product launch @Raspberry_Pi has had in YEARS in terms of availability.

Tons of Pi 5 available right now.

Zero 2 W, cough, cough

@rpilocator @Raspberry_Pi be interesting to see what happens when commercial/industrial customers are allowed to buy in the new year. I suspect we'll be back to shortages again. I live in hope, though

What's the best value for money way of getting SOUND out of a Raspberry Pi Pico? Got another project for a model-building friend coming up!
