Stats say skipping the LRT on Thursday/Friday is your best bet to stay sane. Long weekends for mental health. #Ottawa

The food is good, but my body hates whatever is in the "plate sponge" :P

Got a little held back making a tool tip show up. A lot harder than it needed to be. Finally found the easy way.

I'm hoping to blast through the remaining LRT charts health willing before midnight.

Not that you're all waiting with bated breath πŸ˜‚

Also, if you're looking on mobile, the position is switched. So it's a little weird, it gives you the summary and then the raw.

But yeah I get your point.

The second chart consolidates that. That chart is just raw. And combined, the data shows that weather has limited impact on cancellations. Or at least, the majority of cancellations are not weather driven.

Awe man. A classic. I still remember that phase on advertisement in stores.

The yearly LRT issue map is up. Long time coming and pritty cool *humble brag* 😊

Gots to clean the database, but do take a look - our collective history laid bare. (click on the bars)

See the events and timestamps. 24h notation.

I did the same thing. Inspired the post 😁

In my head yesterday was the cold day. The daily highs are like for an hour. It's deceptive.

Warm starts tomorrow PM goes well into next week.

Occasional Transport β€” Ottawa LRT Status & Alerts Is the O-Train running? Ottawa checks here first.

The Occ LRT database is now Nov 2019 to now. It was a pain, but now occasionaltransport.ca/explore should have mostly accurate live data by nightfall.

I also put in a request to OC for historical bus data. We will see how far that goes. To get us from Bus 2022 -> now

Live/real-time bus data soon.

Today's #Ottawa weather is arse. It's negative 33 with wind chill and it's a wet cold.

Oh yeah. I wouldn't recommend an Android if it's not a pixel. So much bloat and so much crap. Although the pixel starting to slide, but I ain't going back either.

It's smart marketing. You make the user feel empowered and they'll be a customer for life.

Nice. Yeah that hasn't made it down to mainstream Ottawa. The stuff is fascinating though.

Apple is completely built around status and people that struggle with technology.

At one point they were leading the pack, now they're just shine and polish.

But people like convenience, people like comfort, and not everyone is intellectual. So their sales continue.

I'm never getting tired of seeing all the unique Arctic slime mold. I'm surprised the government hasn't championed this. It's some pretty cool stuff.

Awesome! I didn't know this existed. Going to give it a watch. Yeah we're going to lose him soon, but damn he put his stamp on the world.
