Just the sound of cold metal creaking and the wind this #SilentSunday

Icy, cloudy, snowy #telescopes in #Toronto... with conditions like this we just wrap up warmly and work on data reduction!

Here's the 1m telescope with its winter parka on 😄 (its to protect from drip, freeze, melt, freeze drips... not the temperature alone).

Latest FOSS Academic post is: Oops! All Microslop. Or, Trying to Write with Microsoft.

https://fossacademic.tech/2026/01/06/oops-all-microslop.html

It's a post in which I see what it's like for me to try to create a blank document with York University's Microsoft 365 subscription.

TL;DR version is: it's all about Copilot, and starting a blank Word doc is actually kinda... hard.

The post is a bit long, but it does have a lot of screenshots + a dash of anger.

In fun #observatory news, I got our @AllanICarswellObservatory telescope allsky camera on our website!

You'll know when we are open
Youll know when we are closed
You'll know if the skies are bad or good
so hope for good for goodness sake... https://www.yorku.ca/science/observatory/observers/
