  My neighbour handed me a forgotten ebay package - A rare 1960's booklet published by a US church detailing how computers will bring about the end of the world. I thought it would be nonsense, but if you swap Europe for the US they're not totally wrong.

  Going back to my day job after working flat out on #emfcamp for two months is *rough*

  Google Earth added a weird "edit with AI" mode, so I fixed the biggest error in London.

  Renewed my broadband contract and got upgraded to a 2.5gb connection for an extra £1 a month. Send suggestions on how I can possibly try to saturate that connection legally.

  RE: https://chaos.social/@jonty/116969430320624869 Just bought another lidar. I need one stuck in the middle of my monitor.

  I have never, ever seen the EMF team this energised so soon after the event. People are already seriously planning 2028. Slightly terrified. Mostly in awe. #emfcamp

  I got back from the site at 9pm last night. I am hacking on the EMF scheduler, adding features for 2028. What is going on. This has never happened before.

  Re-entry into the real world is always a shock

  Suddenly realised we *somehow* managed to build and staff a tiny electronic music jam club *and* a planetarium *and* turned the planetarium into an arts venue with a full lineup of custom content ...in the two weeks before the event opened. And they were SO GOOD. Sometimes there isn't enough time for you to do things. But there is enough time to recruit amazing people who make it their own and do an even better job. #emfcamp

  Have been informed that someone did a 15 minute livecode music set entirely made from an airhorn sound with live Microsoft Paint visuals. I find it hard to explain what the festival we run is about, and may it get ever more difficult to describe. #emfcamp

  RE: https://chaos.social/@jonty/112497344253511508 We apologise for the incorrect forecast. There were a lot more spiders than this.

  Clearly someone didn't take me seriously when I said "If you leave a tent behind I will find you" and decided to up the stakes by *also* leaving a giant pile of crap. The game is afoot. They will regret this.

  We joke about the spiders but it's only during teardown that you discover the sheer number of them lurking on every bit of kit moved #emfcamp

  Just been informed that the #emfcamp closing ceremony was broadcast via satellite TV across Asia and some of Europe, so that happened.

  Does anyone have an mp3 player (or mp3 playing capable device) that an installation can borrow for the rest of the event, one of theirs has died #emfcamp

  Right. Now I can stop stressing about writing the opening ceremony. And start stressing about writing the closing ceremony. #emfcamp

  Sat working alone in EMF HQ and smashed play on my keyboard. Apple Music opens, an app I never use, and it played seemingly the only thing in my music library - A recording of the Lincolnshire Poacher numbers station. Perfect.

  An elderly neighbour left a 70 minute butt-dialed voice note on the street chat last night. Its entirely white noise. This is what WhatsApp's "transcribe" feature thinks it says.

  It is not fair that the only way to stop being stressed about doing a thing is to actually do the thing. I would like to lodge a complaint (instead of doing the thing).
