EMF 2024 Day 1 - Shower memories

Quite an impressive lighting rig for a tent

I’ve written before about EMF shower etiquette. And this morning, as I stood in the shower soaking wet, with the my towel at the bottom of my bag and my jeans in a puddle on the floor, I wished I’d read my notes before I set out. But once I was clean and presentable (ish) it was time to head out for breakfast (crepes) and the opening ceremony.

You can tell it’s Jonty if you know what he looks like..

Then on to some great sessions. Saw a childhood hero (Tim Hunkin) do a talk, along with sessions about coffee machine hacking, living off the grid and small production run artworks. Then tea (a burger) followed by a screening of the Hackers movie. This film is an EMF tradition, I remember seeing it at EMF 2018. This time they actually had the director present for a discussion afterwards, which made it even more special. I’m looking forward to watching it again in 2026.

The sign for this year is also a water feature

Some of the letters on the sign are made of circuit boards. I think I recognised my current PC there…

Fantastic
