On the DEWLine 2.0: Dwight Williams

If anyone's trying to reach me via Facebook these days, I'm having issues navigating the site these days. At least until 10 PM most nights. The pages load up slower than I'm used to these days...

Yeah. Freezing rain day from Ottawa-Gatineau to Montréal.

I am SO grateful for remote work in my case right now. Unless we have a power outage like we did in 1998.

I seek remote work in order to remain employable.

Not apologizing for that, and I'd better not be systematically blacklisted for it either.

Sharing a note with you all. The book that inspired the first of my in-progress star-mapping projects has had its first volume remastered properly, also accounting for revelations found in assorted episodes of Strange New Worlds.

Details here.

All this horror and heroism in Minneapolis-St. Paul of late...in the cities that gave us Charles Schulz of all people.

It's like Twitter-as-was, Bluesky-as-is, and the Mastodon-Fediverse network. Canadian-based - Penticton, BC, specifically - and Canadian-owned, though. If you're in Canada and want one more fallback option for short-form social media stuff, this might be useful to you at times.

Just putting it out here.

Special weather statement for Ottawa-Gatineau today. 70-90 kph winds expected this afternoon. Rain all day, which has already arrived.
