@megadec I mean it’s not *un*common, depending to what degree the plane in front hasn’t cleared it by. There’s a reason pilots review the missed approach procedure before every landing.
@gklyne emfcamp.org/feedback. And on the role list that’s not even everything, that’s only the things that had shifts during the event itself, there’s a huge number of other incredibly specialised tasks involved in the lead up.
@catsalad my working theory is that all the people in retail have forgotten it’s only them thinking about Christmas in July and everyone else has months to go. (I do not miss working in a food retail business, by the time Christmas arrived I wanted nothing to do with it)
@Floppy fuck yes, I’ve not used Rails in some time now but I wish you all the best getting this off the ground. Fuck DHH, another example of how being obscenely rich puts you in a world where no one will tell you you’re being a dick.
@rachel we have an onsite ambulance that’ll get you to a hospital pretty sharpish if required.
Going to the seaside for a couple of days to celebrate my Dad’s birthday. I’ve got one backpack, a present, and a camp chair. Meanwhile my brother is complaining four bags isn’t enough.
It’s been six hours, don’t think I can put off wrapping this present any longer, as much as I’d like to.
@Thayer @havoctechie@mastodon.social they’re for surreptitiously planting on people. I got up one morning and found one in my shoe. Also once cat sat for a friend who’s never been to EMF and found one on his desk which threw me a bit… I assume I must have planted it on him at some point.
@advancedrubbish every time I do this I think it’ll be quick and easy, and every time I do it I remember I’ve got the world’s worst crimping tool shortly after I start.
Made an Ethernet cable. It, of course, doesn’t work and I’m going to have to recrimp one or both ends and hope it works. Annoyingly I couldn’t find my cable tester so it’s going to be trial and error.
Half tore my flat apart looking for my crimping tool and RJ45 plugs only to discover they’re in the box of CAT6 which I’d found within seconds of starting this process.
@gsuberland @whitequark I’ve had this happen before when living on a major road, I think they decided the disruption to residents was outweighed by the disruption of an extended closure on one of the core routes through the city.
@pikesley I really need to sit down and write my own blog post. It will be long, because I have so many thoughts from so many angles, but the core of it is that it’s a place where everyone can come and be their whole selves without fear of being told it’s a bit too much, or a bit too weird, and can they just tone it down a bit please?
@pikesley I’d missed your post about seeing EMF as a ten year old. I have the ridiculous privilege of bringing Arthur along, and there’s nothing that makes me happier than seeing him experience it, being in a place where for a few brief days he can just be himself and feel he belongs there amongst this utterly mad group of people, and for me that’s entirely what it’s about now.
@Konichiwakitty I got back on Friday evening and have done approximately nothing since. Keep sitting down on the sofa briefly and finding I’m still there 4 hours later and can’t explain what happened in between.
The game has finally launched but is crashy as hell. I briefly had it working but then pressed the wrong button on the controller causing the Steam menu to open and audio to drop out entirely. This has not been the smoothest of gaming on Linux experiences so far.
“I think I’ll play this new game I’ve bought” I say to myself. “lol, Processing Vulkan Shaders (79%)” replies Steam.
@gsuberland there are plans afoot to sort out proper distribution once everyone has slept a bit.
