@mrchrisadams welcome :)
What could I take to #EMFCamp instead of my MacBook Pro, which can still give me an arduino & micropython programming environment? Any ideas?
Ok, let's try an experiment. You can use this page to sign up for Toot!:
https://toot-beta-signup.herokuapp.com
It will remain open as long as I dare, and hopefully I won't run completely out of beta tester slots!
And remember, not everything works yet! Report bugs at https://github.com/DagAgren/toot/issues, but remember to check if they are already there!
Early days, but @tootapp feels pretty nice already, if you’re after an iOS app.

Precious, precious gems
Phone corrected “gaffer tape” to “gaffer raps” and I think I’ve invented a new genre.
Bought a pocket operator PO-12 Sub for a bargain price on eBay, so now even if I don’t get my own synth built in time I’ll be able to produce beats, bass and spacey woo noises at #EMFcamp.

Made a #dataviz that shows deprivation in #scotland local authorities. Uses #rstats and #ggplot2, with a bit of #illustrator love.
But, my five year old is 100% taken with the Viewmaster. Currently she’s clicking through reels from obscure 1970s kids films, and US sightseeing locations.
Honestly I expected the Oculus Go to be a bit more advanced
@Floppy have now confirmed the company are present on the campsite, so all is fine. They’re obviously just really bad at communicating. 🙄
About to go on an organised camping holiday, and currently:
* company website is down
* no email contact for 2 weeks before event
* not answering any of their phone numbers
I'm sure it's all fine though. 😬
For any fediverse fans going to #EMFcamp, I added an Interest to the wiki so you can tag yourself :)
Finding new people to follow is hard for newbies on any platform. I'm hoping that #Trunk can help. What I need is people volunteering to be on lists so newbies can follow a bunch of people right away. Please reply to this post if you agree to be on a list. Feel free to suggest new lists that I haven't thought of. (Living in my own filter bubble, I know!) Please boost!

Also looking for more lists. 😃
You don't have to finish it all today.
RT @KateAronoff@twitter.com: The scene in Jurassic Park when Newman loses his glasses and then says, "I can afford more glasses" immediately before being eaten by a dinosaur is exactly how elites are relating to climate change
