That cold front will bring an end to our hot and humid conditions seen the past 10 days or so. But it will bring a new [old] concern with it: #smoke. Copious amounts of forest fire smoke are spreading across #Alberta and #Saskatchewan, and it will spread southeastwards into #Manitoba in the coming days as the cold front drops through the region. The dense plumes of smoke are easy to see on satellite imagery across central and northern regions of those provinces.
Closer to the MCV, new convection has developed this morning, with strong to severe thunderstorms now working eastwards through Parkland #MBstorm. These thunderstorms will likely taper off heading east of the escarpment with redevelopment closer to the #SKstorm border this afternoon. Thunderstorm development is also likely later in the afternoon across SW #Manitoba and for #Winnipeg and the Red River Valley as well as a cold front pushes southwards into the region.

This week I'm sharing #HigherEducationPostcard from around the world. Because.
Here's a #postcard of the University of #Manitoba - its the Engineering and Architecture buildings, or at least it was when the card was published. Manitoba started as a federal university in 1877, awarding degrees for three denominational colleges; it became a teaching institution in 1900. (This follows the pattern of the University of London: the Victorians did like a federal university)

This is a big change for Bernier and the PPC who, by and large, have stayed away from social conservative issues and preferred more libertarian stances on everything from abortion to same-sex marriage to medically-assisted dying.“

Today in 1870, the Manitoba Act receives Royal Assent. The province of Manitoba, at the time one-eighth its current size, will join Confederation a few months later on July 15, 1870.
The process to becoming a province began with the Red River Resistance of 1869-70.

No of course not. Reminds me of an #IRC chat in the 90's with the family of the police chief in #Manitoba. It was -54F with wind chill on Christmas Eve. I told them I was going to the beach in 4 hours.
Was not well received.
A while ago I was asked (on Twitter) if I could make a web app that estimates how much federal carbon tax you pay vs. your rebate. Well I've had a chance to do that now:

(Note: I posted an earlier version of this app a week ago and a lot of you asked for estimates of *indirect* costs as well. The app now includes that.)
Thoughts & feedback welcome. 🙂

Re-introducing myself for the new batch of Twitter refugees.
I’m a Southern #Manitoba #Socialist interested in #politics, #DrWho, #ClimateChange, #SocialJustice, #BobsBurgers, #UnorderedLists, #OxfordComma, #SquareFootGardening, #Technology, and #Community.
I ran in the last Canadian federal election. I lost, but with an increased vote share and total ask votes here for the #NDP.
#introduction #introductions I’m Peter Miller, I’m an associate professor of #classics at the #university of Winnipeg. I’m also president of the University of Winnipeg Faculty Association (the union that represents all faculty). I’m trying this out given the turmoil on the bird site. I post about #ancientsports, #greek poetry, and stuff related to #ancienthistory. I also post about academic labour issues & #Manitoba politics. #history #winnipeg #classicalantiquity #ancientgreece #highered
Since I'm pretty new here, and I got a whole pile of new followers last night, I figured I'd post my own #introduction! Peer pressure etc. :)
In my non-professional life, I'm a #Canadian living in #Seattle (been in the US for ~9 years), I have a cool husband named Chris, and we have two pet #parrots - green cheek #conures (GCCs) named Clang (like the C compiler) and Sharp (like C#).
Professionally, I've been interested in or working in #infosec kinda forever.. in highschool I used to write hacks and cheats for Starcraft / Diablo 2, some of which are on my GitHub profile. They don't work anymore, of course, but you can see what my old C++ code used to look like :)
Then I went to university at the University of #Manitoba, got a #compsci degree, and worked as a programmer before having a bunch of different infosec jobs - most recently, Google and Counter Hack.
These days, I'm a Lead Security Researcher at #Rapid7 where I spend all day analyzing #vulnerabilities and finding new ones. I get to write them up on #AttackerKB (https://attackerkb.com), the Rapid7 #blog (https://blog.rapid7.com), give talks about vulns that I think are cool (I'll be speaking at #HushCon in Seattle on the first week of December!) and contribute #exploits to #Metasploit when they're a good fit!
I also develop #CTF challenges, particularly for #BSidesSF. We release everything open source afterwards, so you can run them yourself or see our solutions. I also write about them on my blog - although, since I write semi-professionally now, I don't write much other than CTF writeups there.
And finally, me and a bunch of friends founded a #hackerspace called #SkullSpace in like 2012, which is #Winnipeg's best (also only) hackerspace. I haven't been there forevvver, but I'm still a card-carrying member and look forward to visiting again some day. :)
It's great to meet all y'all!
Coder, artist, educator, and father from #Winnipeg, #Manitoba, Canada.
I teach #gamedev at Red River College Polytech and run the #civictech non-profit Open Democracy MB.
25 years experience, across the entire stack, from hardware & FPGA design, to firmware assembly, driver & network coding, server & database admin, back & front-end web dev, app dev, data viz, generative art, and most recently game dev.
Currently: #ue5 #cpp #p5js #ruby
Born and raised on Treaty 1 land.
It's probably time for a #reintroduction (an #introduction for some).
I’m a #science and #agriculture #librarian at the University of #Manitoba in #Winnipeg, and I also write a popular blog about #SocialVR, #VirtualWorlds, and the #metaverse at https://ryanschultz.com. I’m working to set up a #VirtualReality lab at the UM #Libraries.
I also have a #ComputerScience degree, and I’m interested in #ArtificialIntelligence. Looking for #librarians, #academics and #scientists and other cool people!
