Added some boards to the shed. Going to need to sort some lighting.

A poem, inspired by real events.
Dear Web
I wrote to Amazon to send me a mop,
It was shit, I sent it back.
So I wrote to Temi to send me some jewellery
It was shit, I sent it back
So I wrote to Shein to send me a shirt
It was shit, I sent it back
So I walked to the shop and bought me some beer
It was great.
Frankfurt Airport stood 37,000 solar panels dead upright along 2,800 meters of a runway, edge-on to the sun, so the array gives up the middle of the day on purpose and comes out as a camel with two humps instead of one

Managed to generate £3 more electricity this month than we used. Water heating still on gas so total bill was about £12 to pay for a 3bed semi along with an EV to charge.
Working on new Workshopshed plans #FreeCADFriday
Badge holder V2. Looks good but needs more weight in the back as it is now a bit front heavy. New revision tomorrow....
Wow, it's been an amazing few days at #EMF2026 but the end (for me at least) is just about to start.
Massive thanks to everyone who volunteered, organised, presented, demoed, DJed or provided food and drink.
And thanks to everyone else for making me feel safe and welcome.
What a cop out headline, see image.
Aldi does its bit for climate change by providing EV charging for its customers.

@boffbowsh@mastodon.me.uk @neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk so when do you plan the relaunch?
Cutting it a bit fine on the battery, luckily for convenient power all over #emf2026

@25kV I have an issue with my local council who use "Road closed ahead" signs to signify that roads to the left or right are closed.

@MakersHour my #MakersHour musical serenade would be a one man band playing Gustaf Holst's planet suite, somewhere between impossible and ridiculous
Wise words from @notenoughtech@mastodon.world at #emf2026

@eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place could also be that there are useful apps but no-one can find them because of the cruff? Or perhaps as soon as a useful app arrives many copy cats are created so that none of them get any significant numbers. Perhaps if that later case then we might see an uptick as discovery gets better.

@MakersHour A4 I made a 100x RGB LED so that might be fun to see at 10x bigger.

@balkonsolar@freiburg.social thank you for including the UK socket, many of us still feel part of Europe

@MakersHour A3 I have thought about a Topsy Turvy Clock kit, should fit into a baby shoebox

@MakersHour A2 My elephant is the day job. Software engineering and how it is being impacted by AI.

@keyboardpipette@genomic.social Trainline is on when you are travelling multiple train company trains. But be very careful about restrictions on tickets as it will get you tickets that only work if you take the exact train/time it specifies. You might find it easier to get all the different train company apps or just use their websites

@vulgalour@birdbutt.com unfortunately my workshop lathe is not in action, that the kind of thing I'd love to make as "an exercise"
Replying to
@green_bens@mastodon.green interesting to compare the electricity vs oil and gas infrastructure. I wonder what all that piping costs to maintain?

@alex@dair-community.social @emilymbender@dair-community.social can't make the event but it seems like a nice day to be reading a book.
Stop Motion Animators "Tiny Grandmother" just got flagged as being AI on YouTube.

@badnetmask I believe they have 10in versions too, but yes the 3D printed one should be much lighter.
Am thinking about DIN rail for my workshop tech setup
Replying to
@evermorian@xoxo.zone I have experimented with small lino blocks for this with good results. Same kind of carving tools work. Finer details possible as not quite as flexible as rubber

@ammaratef45@social.coop ues, it does seem to match and leads to the https://wizardofbarge.com
Any #EMF2026 attendees know a cure for wonky tails?

@gerrymcgovern@mastodon.green I gather that electricity in Ireland is relatively expensive and I wonder if that is going to push data centres to other countries despite the tax incentives.
Replying to
@pauloldhamsnp@mastodon.scot do they get sacked if they don't show up? Am thinking about a certain MEP.
Replying to
@badnetmask bit late to the discussion but you can get "DJ" racks which are smaller and portable.
Replying to
@infobeautiful@vis.social @ourworldindata@vis.social so given that heart disease is mostly self inflicted the phrase "Guns don't kill, people do" is reasonably sound.
@emf@social.emfcamp.org how many people attended this time?

@anon_opin@mastodon.social drive down to the local station and on to a train, charge the car whilst travelling at 100mph on the train and drive off the other end
