I can't go into what this is, a project from last week, but this draw.io diagram was created entirely with GitHub Copilot, based on my Infrastructure as Code and Application code! The draw.io syntax is XML, so GitHub Copilot can write it!

Phone Link has come a long way! Popped up in my recent Windows 11 update! Can run apps, see photos, make calls, and send messages over Bluetooth, even connect to a wifi hotspot off the phone.

Call me 'old fashioned', but there's still nothing like Hercules and Xena from the 1990s, not to mention Sinbad! Still some of my faves.

Humble Bundle has a great raft of books, including the Cloud Infrastructure & DevOps Toolkit! I've reviewed a few of these; they're great books to get your reading and learning on!

I've been pretty unwell for the past week - hopefully today is the day I can finish a full cup of coffee! But made the trek to pick up a package for me - sent by a community member! You know who you are, thank you! It made my week!

Books I ordered back in April finally arrived! Going to take a break from reviewing books to do some fun reading instead and get through these!

VNC Server on an Ubuntu server running XFCE, running noVNC webclient, running DOSBox, running from a container in Container Apps. Because I can.

Great afternoon, playing around with .NET and MSAL, a few struggles with multi tenancy login for what I am trying to do, but got a little Console UI goin for PAL tagging. Will open-source this once I figure a few more things out.

Nice day in Auckland today, customary picture of the Microsoft Auckland office I always seem to do for some weird reason, this time a bit further away.

Just as you think you have life under control, the Tyre blows out as you are going round a roundabout and all you can do is not to crash! Literally. Watching the supercars definitely came in handy.
