Kind of loving Oracle Cloud’s thirsty efforts for users. A free tier with 10TB/month egress, 4 ARM cores + 24GB RAM *and* 2 tiny x86 instances? That’s almost enough to run Wordpress! 😉

@DrJonnyT I like that you explicitly sought me out on Twitter after hundreds of years apart to send me this. No really. I like it.

When you start using #WeatherForecast data you quickly find out most providers just nuke their old forecasts. You have to hoard for months to prove if they're any good for your application. So good on @ECMWF for a) having an archive and b) opening it up from tomorrow

** Not for all of them, I mean. Though it'd probably help for the meteorologist job

[Andy Gabey @EnviroGabey]

The IEA (@env_analytics - IMO the best IEA) is hiring software developers, environmental data scientists and everything in between

Big day in the @env_analytics office today as @SStevens3164 has arranged for us all to get new official photographs. I've been exfoliating all weekend and I. Am. Ready.

Sad about Paul Allen - we just now returned from Seattle where we saw some of the brilliant effects of his philanthropy at @LivingComputers and @MoPOPSeattle. Look how happy computer-hating @PhysicsDom was playing hangman!
