Always nice to see the crew return safely to the Canada Centre for Inland Waters in Burlington from the monthly #Toronto #StCatharines #LakeOntario sampling done for the 2023 🇨🇦🇺🇸 Collaborative Science and Monitoring Initiative #CSMI. 6 stations, 140 km! Long day and a little rough on the lake, but our biologists and #uwaterloo coop students toughed it out. We collected #plankton to study lower #foodwebs and water for chemistry and to measure algae and bacteria growth rates. #GreatLakes

Today @Jkdellow and I participated in the CAFKA Alleycat -- a sort of scavenger hunt on bikes where you visit art installations around Kitchener Waterloo.

It was a lot of fun! Big thanks to the organizers.

Also, it was a little funny to see that one of the artists was Joel Becker.

"Hey, I wonder if he's the son of my first-year CS professor."

Spoiler: yes. His artistic style has evolved over the last 20 years.

Since there are a few #Waterloo and #UWaterloo folks out there (as well as escapees) I note that Nalia Keleta-Mae is getting a 2-year fellowship that yours anonymously might know something about. And now I can say that out loud.

#CourseThread #ECE657A #UWaterloo

To #UWaterloo students looking for information about ECE657A in Winter 2023 term, the draft course outline is updated now: https://compthinking.github.io/DKMA/outline/

I'll try to use this post as head of a thread for course announcements going forward.

@ResearchWhisperer @tseenster the move to online writing groups kept me going through the hard times and kept me safe. I love drop-ins with a lot of structure so we don’t get off track during breaks. Will be returning to my #writing centre groups at #uwaterloo in January when I return from a leave!

Here's my #introduction 👋

I'm a self-employed #webdeveloper & consultant. I've been making websites for 25 years, now all-in on #Svelte.

I grew up in #Barrie, Ontario, Canada, got a CS degree from #UWaterloo, then moved to #Berlin. (Ich verstehe Deutsch, und manchmal Deutscher kann mich auch verstehen!) Now I live back in Barrie with my German wife & our 7-year-old son.

Sometimes I make YouTube videos, #Twitch streams & write blog posts about web dev. I also love playing #chess and #piano.

I will let this act as my #introduction here on Mastodon.

Hi all!

I graduated from #UWaterloo with a B.Math in Computer Science.

I started Skeddly.com to help people automate backups and lower costs on AWS, Azure, and GCP.

And I love #DungeonsAndDragons, #GameOfThrones, and board games.

#UWaterloo to require masks for indoor academic activities starting November 9th. This includes lecture halls, seminars, labs, tests, exams, and other indoor academic instruction.

I would love to see this extended to all indoor settings, including "non-academic activities" where people have the right to be safe on campus (i.e., hallways, open offices, study spaces, libraries, etc.)
