For those Fediverse'rs in #Ottawa who don't know (I suspect most, since it doesn't look like there are a lot of followers), the City of Ottawa bridged their Bluesky account to the Fediverse, so you can follow it from here by following their account @ottawacity.ottawa.ca

If you bridge your own account (by following @bsky.brid.gy ), your comments will also be visible over on BlueSky.

OC Transpo has replaced over 350 LRT Line 1 train axles… just in case you were getting too mentally complacent with the public transit shit in #ottawa #ontario #onpoli

Hey cool. So the city of #Ottawa's solution to their job application platform throwing a wabbly yesterday was apparently to nuke anything entered yesterday and start from scratch. Either that or their job application platform's wabbly included not actually saving anything I entered yesterday. Fortunately reentering my info manually did not result in a wabbly today. Unfortunately it did make me question my wisdom in wanting to work for the city of #Ottawa...

Very disappointed in my Lenovo Carbon laptop.a keycap is falling off, the charge port (USB) not working.Really want a newer more robust laptop so I can time to get this Carbon repaired without losing data etc.These chicklet like keyboards are for the birds they don't stand up to touch typists like me.
So looking for non USA laptops because.. tariffs.

So many sites with "Not made in China" laptops but what about "Not made in USA" laptops?

If anyone in #Ottawa / #Gatineau has tailor recommendations

The creek here is getting close to overflowing. We had record snow for like two weeks straight and then it immediately melted, and now there is heavy rain. If it goes over the bank, it will be the second time within a year. It's only supposed to do this once in like a decade.

This past summer it broke over the bank and totally flooded the property, it came very close to flooding the house which is on a raised embankment.

With a ~4pm high of 16.3°C, today is #Ottawa's warmest Mar 16th since records began in 1872. #YowWx #OttWeather #YOW #OttNews #ONWx

Today is #Ottawa's first 16°C of the year, which is the 5th-earliest on record. Typical first is April 7. Record earliest is Mar 5, 2024; latest May 5, 1956/1971. #YowWx #OttWeather #YOW #OttNews #ONWx

Today is #Ottawa's first 15°C of the year. Typical first is April 3. Record earliest is Jan 4, 1874; latest Apr 30, 1887. #YowWx #OttWeather

OK, it's time for the seed inventory: which are still viable, and which need to be replenished?

Nightshade seedlings start today above a heat mat. I'm planning

1. Sweetie cherry tomatoes
2. Mid-sized yellow tomatoes
3. Some kind of large heirloom tomato (I'll see what's available at Home Hardware )
4. Black Beauty eggplants
5. California Wonder bell peppers
6. Italian finger peppers (from seeds I've saved myself)

I don't know if anyone who handles #Ottawa's IT systems is actually on Mastodon, but guys... you have a job that closes on Tuesday that I'd love to apply for, except that your platform is choking on my work experience. The error is not on my end. You should probably fix that if you want applications...
