Tonight at 20:00 the first round of bookings for @emfcamp.bsky.social opens. I can't make it this year due to a clash but I think it's the sort of thing lots of people I know would like...

...there will be three rounds of tickets as it's very popular.

An open drawer of screws - many many tiny boxes of screws. Each box has an edging colour.
Always nice to go to a geeks workshop but this is extra special - drawers of screws colour coded to the Allen keys that fit them.

Really big razor, really expensive tiny blades?
I was looking in the wrong place. Sorry! Yes that is silly and painful.
It's like Altium Harnesses but a bit more clunky.
That looks neat and clear to me!
I probably won't have the dogleg in I2C1 and AMP0 but that's so insignificantly minor.
I've used GUI Zero a few times.
In the red corner, hometown hero, you know them, you love them, it’s “Fearless” Bhuge!
And hoping to end their season before it even begins, in the blue corner, The Technical Gremlin!
It’s the match of the century, only at BBB Beetle Brawl 2026 Saturday 28th February at St Michael's Centre, Bristol.

There will be an #EMFcamp night market again in 2026. The night market is really great for small independent businesses who are looking to get more exposure! Highly recommend - 5 stars 🌟😛
There's a communications lead job going at @transactualuk.bsky.social, which would be a great job for the right person in the trans media space.
Sadly I don't think I quite fit the bill, but you might.

We hear news that there is a new Make/Hackspace starting up in March, Cambridgeshire associated with the folks at REMO remo.org.uk If you are looking for a Hackspace in the North of Cambridgeshire you may have a new place to check out...

Settle down there satan...
Looks good to me.
you typically want to keep the SW node as small as possible, and keep the feedback resistors (R16 & R19) close to the FB pin.
I love you projects so much. Especially the JSWT mirror.
Used the colour picker to create this 8-bit Pacman image. :-) software status is good enough. Need to make a couple changes to the function keys, currently too easy to wipe your hard work with one key press. This Saturday I will be showing off this project and others at assemble. #giganticUnicorn
You can now watch back just the fights from Champs here: bbb.gd/champs
