I missed the early morning of the con due to toothache, I just needed a bit more sleep, and I am at the point where I am having to use water to try and numb the tooth and reduce the pain
Heading for the 1pm panel I wanted to attend which was panel on What are Reviews For? Balancing Critique, Recommendation, Promotion and the Art of Criticism in the written review, mostly cause I really want to get back into reviewing books
O had to leave at the 40 minute mark as my toothache briefly became overwhelming and I could no longer concentrate at all
So I took a break went and got an energy drink and a Mars bar, then made my way back to the Crowne Plaza for 3D Printing: What’s Available, Getting Started, and Current Trends, and having recently bought myself a new printer, and Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra, I really wanted to attend this panel, like very much so!
It was a great panel and had people ranging from a basic hobbiests to a DARPA engineer and they discussed tech from the basic £75 addictive printer, right up to multi-million printers that can create objects out of titanium and beryllium that have been sent into space
Really wish this was recorded so I can watch it later
My next panel was Making Space for Making, cause yeah my space is kinda tight so tips and hints on how to optimise that would be handy.
It didn’t really cover any of that but was great cause they just spoke about practical hobbies for making stuff!
Then it was the Another Castle concert which I missed in Dublin and have been itching to see since then
And that was so much fun, absolute joy!
After that I went back to the AirBnB where we did some emergency filing work on my tooth then called 111 for an appointment, it was just that bad
An appointment was arranged for the next day at 9:30am and we had a cheeky Nandos for tea
We then returned home after buying some teething gel, and I built a Macro-Plasma Incinerator
So today is the last day, which will involve a dentist trip!
