For my #ChunkyFringe livestreams this year, I once again used a Smarty data-only SIM in a 4G router from AliExpress, and once again...it...just...worked!
Rarely does technology behave so well, but it really was insert SIM, activate on app...minutes later...internet!
I'm not live *now*...but saying it now as tomorrow I'll likely be prepping in a panic until the last second, then go straight from prep to live with no advance warning!
My aim is 3pm, but might be earlier.

My recollections from jumping on the #teletext bandwagon in 2023, after missing out on the comeback event in 2022 due to uni, relieved that I hadn't missed my last chance.
And if all goes to plan, I'll be back in Harrow this Saturday for #ChunkyFringe 2025!

For the upcoming #ChunkyFringe the #WeeklyTeletextArt prompt is "Chunky" and/or "Fringe".
Here's a #teletext nod to an old chocolate advert; regrettably trademarks have had to be altered for legal reasons.
The question that's been on no-one's lips for over a year..."will Jamie ever finish writing that #ChunkyFringe blog?"
And the answer is...no!
But I've published my work-in-progress anyway π
This is the sort of prep I was doing in the hotel at silly o'clock the night before #ChunkyFringe.
So with days - plural - until #Teletext50, I'm counting this as progress!
Having said that, this portable streaming PC still has over a year of Windows updates to catch up on...
The livestream didn't go as planned, but we got a brilliant spontaneous interview out of it!
Cheers to Carl Attrill (@teletextr), Nathan Dane, and Cliff Foster for joining me to talk about #ChunkyFringe, #Digitiser, #Teletext, and retro nostalgia in general.
Went through tomorrow's livestream setup in my head. Wrote a checklist.
Most of it is already packed, but I only have lunchtime to sort the last bits. Setting off at 6pm.
Still really looking forward to Chunky Fringe, but the reality of the slog is setting in π

Checking the TVs are correctly tuned, and there's enough batteries for all the remote controls ready for #chunkyfringe in Harrow this Saturday πΊβ
