It's funny typing in very very old URLs to see where they go to and be amazed that companies are still paying for them. Case in point: the initials "Las Vegas Reservation System" dot com (now Expedia), or Iflyswa dot com (still Southwest).

Doing the digital #MSIgnite again.

I hate to be one of "those" people, but how long before "deporting" citizens to other countries because of language this administration doesn't like? Because I have a lunch date on Friday, and I'd like to make plans appropriately.

In case anyone needs this information, the Royal Caribbean Vision of the Seas has two US sockets and two European sockets. All of them are at the desk directly under the mirror on the right.

I'm shocked. This is my shocked face.

So oil and gas prices are going to higher again. And somehow, that will be because of Biden for being too incompetent to take care of the issue while he was in office.

In other news, water is wet.

Do not feed the trolls.

Hello from wherever I am.

Reming me again why I decided to be in Maryland on the day of some stupid parade and the latest national day of protest?

How is there no Whataburger inside Austin International Airport???

How do work people subconsciously know when PTO is coming up? I just had someone try to sideswipe me into a two-week effort via someone else today, my last day before scheduled PTO. Sucks to be them because I'm not working on PTO.

Is it just me? On my Windows 11 24H2 computer, I hit Win + C for the new Copilot Chat shortcut. In that window, if I hit Win + V to pull up my clipboard history to paste something, it all just goes away.

Today I am getting the chance to use this at an all-hands after a voluntary separation package went into effect followed by the inevitable reorg. If you see a sudden LinkedIn update from me, you'll know how it went.

Efficiency is when you make the troops homeless *before* they're veterans

Already had to mock up a map to generally show where I live, where the Home Depot in Paramount is, and where downtown LA is. People don't realize exactly how large "Los Angeles" is, and really have no idea when I say things like "I'm a good 30 miles away from that."

for context here’s a map of greater Los Angeles and the protest is the roughly the red circle

Got a call from Mom just now. She's sounding a lot better and I even got her to laugh a little. She still feels miserable but that's to be expected. 👍 #FuckCovid

Reminder that this country had an insurrection on Jan 6 and Trump refused to send in the National Guard.

I had to explain this to my spouse. That’s what makes it funny.

True eight years ago, true now.

Whelp, Mom's got Covid again.

I just love finding out something we've been struggling with forever has been fixed natively two years ago and simply needs configuration. I just can't keep up with everything, though many at work think I do.

“That child deserves our support,” @governorwalz.mn.gov continued. “Don’t worry about the pollsters calling it distractions, because we need to be the party of human dignity.”

TIL there is a Microsoft USB Blog. It's a thing that's existed, on one platform or another, since 2009 apparently. techcommunity.microsoft.com/category/mic...

We've already been dismayed with the "Hi" then not saying anything more. Apparently because that no longer works for people, instead of actually put information in the text, they instead are saying "Hi [tag of person they are talking to]" just to get it popping an alert on the person.

Looks like Dr. Crusher and Data have smelt what Picard dealt, but it hasn't reached La Forge or Westwit yet.

➡️ Shared calendar from Microsoft 365 to outside email 📩 Received email in outside account 🔗 Import calendar from URL in Google Calendar ⌛ All appointments show up in Coordinated Universal Time with no option to change time zones 😡 Discover that many have had this issue with no solution

Today is the last day of work for a lot of our employees who took a voluntary separation package. Hope these people have success in their future endeavors, but the loss of domain knowledge will be tough to work through. Even the best documentation can only do so much.

"Skype’s retirement was announced in late February. Since then, millions of former Skype users have joined Microsoft Teams Free." Surely that means millions of accounts were automatically transferred from Skype to Microsoft Teams Free regardless of usage, right?

Hey @lambertman.bsky.social we are getting our first in California (well, apart from the private one on Camp Pendleton). I can't recall if you were a yay or nay?

Picard multiversal tip: Be careful; not even a Jedi or a Time Lord can withstand Vogon poetry. So say we all.
