  • Disable Azure CLI Telemetry Collection

    Pfffffffft! Dafuq? No thank you, Microsoft. That’s getting #disabled right TF now. (See Microsoft official documentation)

  • Parallels Desktop VM Isolation

    I’m fascinated by the logic here. Why is this experience not inverted? Why is the user only prompted for confirmation when ENABLING isolation (because: why would I want said VM to be able to read the contents of my clipboard?) but not when disabling it? Isn’t the isolation the entire point of the VM? šŸ¤”

  • Holiday Time Off Shenanigans

    What do you do for time off? Home improvement? Technical skilling? Visiting family? Hang out with friends? I’m off work until January 3rd! I need some things to keep myself busy: Seems like enough for a while. It’s a rough work in progress, but check out https://www.communityreeftank.com

  • 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 29Ā° Fahrenheit (that’s -1.67Ā° Celsius for you metric weirdos) and the ground felt…

  • Credit Card ā€œConvenienceā€ 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 Galloā€™s Tap Room for dinner. The place wasn’t crowded despite it being 6pm. The patio had plenty of spots, so we…

  • 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! šŸš²

    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. šŸ¤£ Parts of the…

  • Mother’s Day Blast From the Past

    Firstly: Happy Mother’s Day to all you Moms out there. While visiting my Mother today she unloaded what amounted to a time capsule into my car! She had three big totes of stuff from as long ago as my first baby shoes to as recent as High School graduation. I’m so tickled she kept all…

  • When you’re in “Columbus,” but not in Ohio…

    Had to take a work trip this week. This thought made me chuckle. Standing in Columbus Circle, facing Deutsch Bank Center in Manhattan, New York City.

  • Adult onset allergies suck

    I’m becoming increasingly allergic to my cats. They’re perfect – they’re the kind of cats that non-cat people and cat people alike dream about owning. They want cuddles, they seek out attention, they’re playful and fun. I adore them… but it seems as if I’m becoming more allergic by the day. Tonight I laid on…
