  • A&M Landscaping and Lawncare

    While hopping off a work call just now I happened to notice the sound of a mower outside. Odd. When I peered out the window, the neighbor’s yard was being mowed. VERY ODD. Especially today, on the 28th of November. It’s currently 29° Fahrenheit (that’s -1.67° Celsius for you metric weirdos) and the ground felt…

  • Ozotech Poseidon Racket

    It’s been a long time since I’ve given any thought to the ozone setup I run on the office tank. I was contemplating updating my 15+ year old (but still very much working!) AquaMedic 200 mg Ozone Generator with one of the Ozotech Poseidon units until I read on the Ozotech website they suggest replacing…

  • Cleaning Azure File Shares with Azure Functions

    One of the complaints I have about using FSLogix to store AVD User Profiles on Azure File Shares is that there’s no native way to clean up the stale / unneeded VHDs once users move on. If you search the web, you’ll come across some curiously misleading examples that discuss setting up an Azure Function…

  • Credit Card “Convenience” Fees

    You ever have those nights where you just don’t feel like cooking even though you have plenty of food in the fridge? Yeah, that was us last night. We ended up heading out to Gallo’s Tap Room for dinner. The place wasn’t crowded despite it being 6pm. The patio had plenty of spots, so we…

  • Meet Koda

    We adopted a baby pupper! He’s something akin to a murder floof, or so the scary things you’d read about on the interwebz or hear about on TikTok would have you believe. Maligator, vicious, bitey demon, fur missile, etc. Some of those may be partly true. 😅 He’s got a little mouth full of razor…

  • New Keyboard

    Earlier this week we had to get my Fiancé a new keyboard and mouse setup – so we hopped across the road to Microcenter together. I should have known better. I can’t step foot in that store without getting something… and of course it’s something I don’t really need. I ended up with an ROG…

  • Nope.

    You can shove the “payment method ownership” excuse up your ass, Poshmark. This little stunt right here is a blatant grab made to hoover up personal information that is both unnecessary and dangerous to consumers. What a scam! For being a clothing platform, your site sucks. You know it’s bad when even eBay is better!…

  • New Bike Day! 🚲

    While we were in Germany earlier this month, my friend (and coworker) John talked me into buying a new bike. John’s a badass… no shit, like the kind that competes in triathlons, Iron Man challenges, etc. So when he said “buy this bike” I bought the bike he said to get. 🤣 Parts of the…

  • Azure Cloud Challenge: Lime Survey

    Last week I worked with a team in Germany to deliver an Azure Hackathon. During the hackathon, we decided to create a cloud challenge for the team to work through. These challenges are difficult and require independent critical thinking. The requirements below were developed with the attendees, after which we worked at the whiteboard to…
