Read every day in January! Quite pleased with this ☺️ #JanuaryPagesChallenge @thestorygraph
This whole “accept all our cookies or pay to reject them” thing. Is it actually legal? Why is everything a subscription these days? Even data privacy?!
Breaking in my new soldering iron as per #EMFCamp talk on Tiny Toolkits (https://tinytoolk.it/) with this hexpansion prototype. Haven’t decided what to do with it yet though 🤔

This year we had re-usable pint and half-pint plastic cups at the bar. Now we've had a chance to count, here are the results:

We had 10080 pints on site and used 5265 of them. 9585 were returned to the supplier for re-use, meaning 495 went missing.

We had 2200 half-pints on site and used 1540 of them. 2090 were returned for re-use, meaning 110 went missing.

This is a return rate of just over 95%, which according to our supplier is "unprecedented"! They usually see a return rate of 80% from events that charge a deposit for the cups, and as low as 40% from events that don't.

We gave 3335 discounts during the event to people who brought their cup back to the bar to be re-filled. That accounts for the difference between the number of cups used and the number of pints served (nearly 9000) and means a lot of time, water and energy was saved on washing them.

Thank you to everyone who returned cups to the bar during the event - we really appreciated the stacks of empties left outside for us in the mornings!
My first steps at getting the #emf2024 badge hooked into my home automation system, so I can use it as a little RGB mood light. Here, my server is sending instructions to the badge via MQTT
Home from #EMFCamp, tired but probably the happiest I’ve been in a while. I chopped so many peppers in the volunteer kitchen, solved a lot of puzzles, encountered a lot of EMF spiders, and got so much inspiration for new projects! But first, sleep 😴 Thanks folks, it’s been a blast!
