The boy’s school have very generously assisted in EMF preparation by taking him and 60 or so other children to Cornwall for the weekend. The opportunity to lock myself away for a few days and get shit done really couldn’t have come at a better time! (Just got to get through a day of doing my real job first)

It took 82 minutes for an EMF discussion to get from “just put a sign on the door” to “lorawan button available which is quite expensive and will require custom software”. We’re losing our touch, that should have been under 20.
I’m once again regretting not booking an extra week off work before EMF as I contend with an extra full time job on top of having a child and my usual full time job.

Definitely losing my mind a bit, I just typed the phrase “backpack mounted fax machine”.
Spent the evening making lights flash in pretty colours in time to some music. There’s definitely an alternate timeline in which I ended up being a lighting engineer instead of a software developer and I’m a little jealous of alternate universe Jon.
You can tell EMF is approaching because the list of card payments on my account is getting ever more eclectic. Today it’s been an Xbox controller wireless adapter, a custom ink stamp (this year whoever controls the stamp controls EMF volunteering, Chinese style, run a heist if you want a bunch of people to do your village washing up), and some large shipping crates.
I don’t know how but Tesco have somehow made a grocery shopping app which brings an iPhone 15 to its knees. Constant freezes in the UI and my phone became uncomfortably warm to hold on to while using it.
Comedy end to humanity: Everybody involved in the UK’s nuclear deterrence program assumes somebody else told the sub captains about Radio 4 long wave being turned off.
