Finally, I'm able to bike indoor.
I'm a nice weather cyclist, so going outside in autumn and winter almost never happens.

Building the venue for #Azure Fest later today.
Looking forward meeting all the attendees and speakers again. There will be a lot of talking about Azure, #AI and other cool stuff!

Discovered some inconsistency.

Turns out, "Ask Copilot"-option is now injected as the first option. But if I'm searching fast enough, the injection isn't fast enough, so I can still search via DDG.

Well, thanks for breaking my search experience in #Edge.

Searching via the address bar now invokes #Copilot making up answers on the go with non-existing links. For me, this causes Edge to be useless as a default browser experience.

I'm 3 years at my job already, so time for 3 pounds of M&Ms!
Not sure how this tradition started, but I do like this one.

Treated myself a new pair of headphones.
Was in the market for something else, but this is the only one native compatible with PS5 and more important Playstation Portal.

For anyone who has missed it, #AppleTV now supports VPN clients. With #Tailscale it can now also be used as an exit node, with internal network available.
Meaning: #Pihole is available when away from home! Blissful browsing!

I was lucky enough to participate at the #Hyrox Maastricht, last weekend.

It was extreme, but very fun to do. When I get the chance, will definitely do such an event again!
But I still dislike burpees. Doing 80 meters of them halfway through is brutal!

A special guest in our team knowledge sharing session of today, @hexmaster.nl has joined the call to talk about his experiences with #AzureContainerApps, #Dapr and #Aspire

I love hearing stories from people doing 'real' projects and sharing their knowledge on it.

I've finished #GodOfWar2018, yesterday.

What an awesome story and game to play through! Will start on Ragnarok this weekend!

Am I doing this multi-threading thing right? 😅

Trying to map 800MB of CSV files to ??MB of other CSV files with highly normalized data.

Looks like Santa brought an early present to our house.
A new pair of #Puma Deviate Nitro 3 running shoes I'll be using for the #Hyrox event I'm participating with on February 1st.

I did it, finished Spiderman.
What a great ending, just wow!

Next up, God of War (2018) or Horizon Zero Dawn. According to some friends I should do GoW first, so will probably start that one next week.

It's also on Playstation 4. Got both versions, still sealed, over here.

But definitely get a Switch, it's a great console.

I found another one.

Please, dear reader, whenever you think about asserting on log messages, don't. There's probably something in the code needing change—test for behavior, not implementation details.

There are also 32 tests failing when running them in parallel. Something for the next PR.

Did my first running event today. I started active running about 6 weeks ago and finished a 5K run in ~33 minutes.

My goal was to finish and with this decent time (for a starter) I'm quite satisfied.

Next month, a 7.5K run is scheduled.

I'm trying to get data in a Power BI report for a specific timestamp (date/time/timezone column), but when selecting a specific value from the Filters, no row is shown.

Anyone over here with ideas on how to solve it? Every timestamp in the list should have one or more rows, as shown in the filter.

My name is on the agenda, so I guess it's official now!

In the upcoming Techorama Netherlands edition, I'll be doing a session on why Semantic Kernel is so awesome. Hope to see you there!
