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…

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.

First Post
I’ve been toying with the idea of rebooting this blog. Just some of the usual shenanigans: tech, aquaria, life. Nothing too fancy, either. Last time I got distracted by the complexities of converting markdown to static HTML with Wyam via DevOps and a cake script that deployed it all to an Az Storage account. This…

Customizing Configuration Manager Offline Servicing of Operating System Images Temporary File Location
While working on a presentation for Microsoft’s Minority Student Day here in the Columbus office, I came across an annoyance with Configuration Manager 1610 in my lab. The ConfigMan server in the lab is virtual, hosted on Server 2016 in Hyper-V. The VM’s OS disk is set to be 128GB and stored on a high…
