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.
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.
“I think I’ll play this new game I’ve bought” I say to myself. “lol, Processing Vulkan Shaders (79%)” replies Steam.
Since getting home from EMF I’ve done approximately nothing, just some light life admin and watching YouTube. Really not sure what to do with myself now I’m not single mindedly focused on one thing.
Thankfully I’ve got a few more days of nothing planned, a family get together for my Dad’s birthday, and then I’m back to work for a day on Friday before a three day weekend so plenty of time to get back into the swing of living in the real world.
Found the EMF 2026 Teardown Commemorative Plate while unpacking. Signed by those present on the last night using the pen of conduct (a giant brass biro with surprising momentum).
I so badly need to sleep but the post-event chat is still going and somehow it feels like once I climb into my normal bed I’m going to wake up in the real world tomorrow and it’ll all be over for another two years. (Except it won’t, because we’re already planning 2028)
There are very few upsides to carrying a camping chair with you on a train. Really the only one is being able to set it up in a disabled cubby left empty on an otherwise full service (yes, I will be vacating it immediately if needed).
