Small world. Just through the gate at #DataAISummit, and what do I see a good old Xamarin backpack.

[Tom Opgenorth @topgenorth]

@GuidoOswald Oh good. You hand me worried for a moment.

#DataAISummit anyone at Parc 55 want to meetup for a beer at the bar? Working at my laptop, should be easy to find

This day in 1939, Canada declares war on Nazi Germany. The declaration of war was made just 7 days after the joint British and French declaration.

Canada has declared war only during the Second World War. #WW2

This day in 1945, the Aldershot riots, UK. Some 500 Canadian troops tired of waiting to be repatriated rioted in the streets of Aldershot, causing considerable damage to property.

By March 1946 the Canadian government had paid $41,541 to meet the costs of repairing. #WW2

Well done to the whole team at CHAS (Canadian Historical Arms Society). They teamed up with the CHAS 3-gun league for their annual fundraising match. This annual event benefits the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation. $13,000 raised this year. 🇨🇦❤️ what’s 3-gun? 1/2

Someone had a busy day in the mountains. If you don't have food, she's not interested in getting up. @ Kananaskis Country https://t.co/AGfZinb0kU

There’s a shortage of perfect movies in this world. It would be a pity to damage this one.

@timeyoutakeit I was watched the first bit of Derry Girls, it was strangely addictive

Only +30C and we're debating if we should let it warm up before heading to the pool.

[Tom Opgenorth @topgenorth]

@AgileRamblings yeah, the dollar coins do make for a lumpy bed.

What are the odds that we'd run into another family from #yeg here in KL, staying in the same hotel?

This day in 1944, Polish resistance movements begin the Warsaw uprising. The uprising ended in the destruction of Warsaw with over 150,000 killed civilians.

The Poles had hoped for support from the Soviets who were 20 km away from the city. They gave no assistance. #WW2
