Maybe you heard about something called the #NationalConversation?

People across the UK are being urged to share their vision for how their community and country’s future should look, as part of a major new research project.

What would make the UK a better place to live? A new project aims to find out

I have some thoughts...

If there was an Interim Camping Event organised around Open Source Hardware Camp 2026, would you be interested?

OSHCamp is at Hebden Bridge on 29th and 30th August - https://oshug.org/event/oshcamp2026

The campsite shown (indicative example!) has a pub and, unexpectedly, a sauna...

Thanks to everyone who helped make and enjoyed playing with the #MicroSeidenStrasse at #EMFCamp :blobthanks:

Also, if you took photos or a video, would you be OK to share it with me? I'd like to make a Internet of Tubes supercut :blobcatchristmasglowsticks:

Excited to be speaking at the #Bodgeham-on-Wye village fête on Sunday. Come to the Parish Hall at 1300 (only a short walk from #EMFCamp!) to hear all about Low Background Information, and how it will defeat the #Slop #Ouroboros :slop:

Count Binface has a dormant account on the Fediverse at:

Getting a few more follows might prod him into posting again? I think it might at least trigger an email from the server to tell him he is still getting followers 🙂

Genuinely surprised that nobody appears to have made a silly "age verification" app for the #EMFCamp #Tildagon. Yet.

Imagine there was an app that turned your #EMFCamp #Tildagon badge into a wifi access point running a web server, for (say) offline access to certain files.

What is the app called?

Note: It might have a different wifi SSID, this is just the "app store" name

TIL: There are more varieties of TrackPoint Style Pointer, than I was previously aware of :thinkpad_tp: :thinkpad: :TrackPoint:
