Since SBI is gone as a company, newsletters will also likely change their "From" email. Hope it doesn't break too many filters/rules for people.

Thanks! I historically have used CodeTour for this, but I think this will be even better for demo/presentations. nice!

Gotta love just how much of a speed boost having an SSD / M2 for steam libraries. GL with the moving! (I know, just bigger, not faster - still more game space yay!)

I admit that going through how strict the rules are at Microsoft, even for people who are vendors, it is fascinating. No politician in the upper levels of the US is in compliance with those policies. When I was taking the tests, I felt it should be a bar for ballot/bench eligibility.

Big part of why I've moved this year to email aliasing. Harvest all you want, it's noise and I can just shut it off (and know who leaked it).

Hey @venusreign.bsky.social - some cool power plat folks coming to town next autumn.
Maybe we will have to do some unofficial 'welcome party' as the host city.

Vibrant BC space here. Added you to some lists, pinged @matnav.co.uk to add you to the BC starter pack he has.
I'll ping you to a couple of 'verification' threads, as here verification is community, not credit card.

A few more hard days to go, then "off" until mid January.

There’s a lot to get set up for this, so it may take a little time, but in the year ahead, expect some more blog posts and streams about this big change.

And the last bit of news I’ve saved for last, as I’m making a big gift to the community for Christmas:
🎁 Data Braider will now become a free, open-source solution, also becoming a community project.

· Book sales (and writing) are temporarily halted until further notice
· No more classes are available or workshops
· The Licensing App will be moving to a new publisher, but remain a free, community solution

Sadly, “Spare Brained Ideas” as a company is coming to a close.
There are a few things to know about what happens now:

As 2024 comes to a close, I had found myself using phrases like:
· Like a train wrecking off a broken bridge falling into a shark-filled tornado
· I understand that the car is on fire, but we’re driving out of a forest fire and can’t stop to put it out.

I often do Year End “Year in Review” content, sometimes lil short videos, sometimes more elaborate posts.
This year, I’m going with an "old fashioned" thread about it.
It wasn’t a good year.

Was trying to remember if that's one I did. Nope, Guillem Padilla Martín.

That's a valid perspective, for sure. If a client is going to choose to bring in outside solutions, that's just what they can do.

It's a decent platform for great and clever people to do 1 to many blitz-outward communication. The downside is that it's also a platform for annoying people to do 1 to many blitz-outward communication.
They'd be smart to take a page from Bluesky's explosion growth of 'fully controlled feeds'.

Yes. 100%
I had a client who was setup in a region in 1 tenant, but then needed users from another region from another tenant. We just "invite" them in the destination (BC) Entra tenant as an external user, then assign them a BC license, and Update from 365.

But this is an important set of lessons for anyone supporting #msydn365bc systems in the AppSource era.
And I'm off to go add a couple new "Ideas" to some feedback systems. I think we can close some pitfalls.

I'm going to try not to fault this company for not using critical thinking (Company Name <> Spare Brained Ideas) because clearly this is a panic response to a v25 upgrade going wrong.

- This app was a free app. The publisher doesn't owe you support either. Free of charge to install is not Free of Cost, and *certainly* isn't Free of Risk.

- You probably should keep the contact information for all appsource publishers in your own CRM. If you don't have a CRM, please tell me you at least use Contacts in BC.

- You probably should contact those companies to register some business relationship, even if it's just "notify us if you are going to EOL this solution".

- If you are a BC partner, you should know who all your customer's AppSource apps are from. This is even if your customer is installing them for themselves.

It led them to an almost 11 year old blog post of mine where I mentioned the company name. Which led them, in desperation, to send me the Upgrade Failure Stack Trace, hoping I could magically do something to help them.
Some important lessons for BC people here:

The App in question was, in fact, delisted from AppSource, gone. And because the app was delisted, and the partner had no records of who the company was or how to get support for it, they did what anyone would do, searched on the Publisher name.

Heh, new Github Copilot option: "Use the better code" to start fights.

it's not a good answer, but the time I spend trying to figure it all out usually costs more than the software.

Any time I've chased down this rabbit hole, I stumble back into the sunlight going "to heck with it, just buy pro for people" rather than try to figure it out.

Those come from user created "feeds". @matnav.co.uk made one that is for #bcalhelp, though I think it seems to be working a lil slow?
