Climate change is impacting the cocoa crop, driving up prices. To keep the cost/price down, candy makers are resorting to shrinkflation or replacing the choclolate with other ingredients or coatings. #food

Blech… #ottawa

Tried to add a text file to a Copilot notebook and got the following error (see below). Workaround was to create a new page in the notebook and add the text content to that page. #copilot

Exporting spaces to PDF is much, much slower with Atlassian-hosted Confluence than it was when it was running on our own servers :/

Still considering the MacBook Neo as my eventual on-the-go computing option. Every time I find myself wondering whether it will be powerful enough, I remind myself that my main work computer is a 5-6 year-old iMac running a 3.8 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i7. So I should be good.

Good news for libraries in Canada! The federal government has reinstated the protection for the Library Book Rate that supports interlibrary loan. #canada #libraries

Walked in to work this morning. 4.75km across OOE, Glebe, and Ottawa South. Wet, cold, windy, but zero ice accumulation that I could see. #ottawa

The melt….

Going to risk wearing running shoes for the walk in this morning. It’s already above freezing and I’m fairly certain the sidewalks between here and work are dry.

The upside of the time shift is of course the gorgeous light at the end of the working day.

Thought I would try to use Automate > Flows > Create PDF Copy of the OneDr... to convert a Word doc, and was shown the following dialog. I'm already logged in, and if I re-authenticate to any one of these am I good to go, or do I have to log in to all three somehow?

Maybe some other time, OneDrive. I don't have time for your shenanigans today.

Monday starts with three hours of listening…
