I really don't like the new design of the WeatherCan app. There are plenty of other weather apps out there but I want the old WeatherCan app back!
Environment Canada shares all the raw data in a nice XML file. So I quickly hacked together a proof of concept in #SwiftUI that looks exactly like the old one. Would anyone be interested in joining forces to create an #opensource #iOS app with the look and feel of the old WeatherCan app?

I've finally figured out a way to avoid people "reacting" to my e-mails (a Microsoft Outlook feature)! Thunderbird can add custom headers when sending e-mails. The magic header is "x-ms-reactions: disallow" which you can add in the config editor (see screenshot. "id2" might be different depending on your setup).
I can't say I like the redesign of the Canada Weather app. Information density is down. Contrast is down.
My “teaching philosophy” is to teach a course the way I would have enjoyed it as a student. Often that doesn’t agree with how my current students would like me to teach. I’m any case, students are writing the midterm today and I brought everyone a small pastry from the Italian bakery down the street.
Latest #woodworking project is finished! Made from ash. It can be assembled and disassembled without tools. A headboard is also in the works but I haven’t decided on the design yet. Slats are from IKEA.
#Comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS was not as bright as I expected, but still clearly visible by eye and it looks good on pictures!
