I am absolutely overjoyed that my much-cooler persona, Johnny Office, has been accepted to do a DJ set at #emfcamp … now to spend the next 3 weeks arguing with myself about which of my library will get into the set. It will all depend on when I am scheduled for … afternoon / early evening soulful house, or a later on tech house set, intent on making the bass bins sing. Can’t wait ! #NullSector
The #emfcamp prep begins properly in this house today. Me wiring #LEDs and the wife sewing some absolutely awesome stuff that I can’t talk about.
Excited to start planning which talks to see at #EMFCamp now that the list of options has been announced. Daughter is 50% disappointed / 50% relieved that her talk on the History of Vocaloid wasn't selected ... I need to get her to shorten it and sign up for a lightning talk !
Can anyone recommend a decent eSIM provider that works in France and doesn’t have some arbitrary “high consumption” restriction ? I have found out the hard way that Holafly’s unlimited service isn’t unlimited.
#linux users right now 🐧
I really want to know if Microsoft actually use MS Teams in their own organisation. The reason I doubt it is how on earth do they continue to release versions of Teams with the Raise icon right next to the React icon ? On pretty much every single call that I am on where team want to react, someone accidentally presses the Raise button. Bonkers.
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there. The sarcasm is strong with my nippers. Definitely a chip off the old block.
Randall Munroe, thank you for bringing such delightful nonsense into the world ❤️
Been looking around for a new Linux laptop to replace my well used, and until recently, super reliable, Dell Ubuntu machine. The Dell was just randomly going to sleep … not randomly it seems … just worked out it was due to my watch strap triggering “lid closed” !
#emfcamp was an absolutely incredible re-enforcement of the hope that this world really is full of amazing, kind, lovely and creative people. I learnt so much and met some wonderful humans. Many thanks to everyone who came to our "solar cake stall”. #emfcamp2024 #EMF
