Today we are witnessing the flight of ants. A few days ago Tits hunting lice. Months ago small solidary bees enjoyed the dandelions when few other flowers were available.

Our first instinct shouldn't be to destroy, but to enjoy!

When searching for flying ant, the first results, including bing and google ai results are on how to extinguish. Often citing 'home remedies' and followed by poisons.

Same for dandelions. Or garden mice, wasps, hornets, clover, lice spiders.

Little on their use, beauty, importance. Change needed!

Walked 2 groups through GitHub Copilot Agent features in Visual Studio Code to show what the future of coding might look like.

With that we contributed about 100 people to this World Record. And had a lot of fun while doing it.

Last week I had the privilege to attend the #mvpsummit on the Microsoft Campus in Redmond. A 10-year anniversary for me (12 if you count my 2 private invitations the years before).

It's always great meeting friends, sharing stories over dinner and enjoying beers with friends.

This is an easy one for me. I've been sharing knowledge and getting people unstuck!

Find me on Q&A, stack overflow, slack or my blog.

With a bit more craziness, I've now prevented the Lenovo update tooling from upgrading that driver

Ha! Found it! Unpair the buds in Windows and Android.

Hard reset the buds by infinitely holding down the button on the back of the case with the buds in the case.

Re-pair the buds in Android, this will set the name.

Then Windows, this will show the new name

Had some issues with my Lenovo z16 webcam driver. The Realtek driver that's detected automatically often fails to initialize in Teams and causes issues with Windows Hello.

Changing the driver to the generic Microsoft USB Video Device driver fixes these issues.

Got a set of google pixelbuds pro from a friend, and when I pair them in windows they still show up with his initials instead of my name.

I can rename the device on Android just fine, but windows keeps his...

Anyone know how I can reset this?

Last time I flew to the US I used my Garmin jetlag advisor and it was a great help preparing and adjusting to the new timezone.

Packing hiking boots to maximize my time outdoors again.

It looks like a lot of hashtag #android developers aren't aware that @github.com Copilot is available for their IDE. Android Studio is "just another @jetbrains.com IDE" and you can install copilot in a few simple steps!

I've asked Copilot to tell you how ;)>

Last month we set up GitHub's new billing experience, including Cost Centers for Xebia's Enterprise. As part of that we needed to assign GitHub Organizations (easy), Repositories (not needed for now) and Members to the different internal Cost Centers.

'Wing it’ with Copilot! Join our Copilot Hackathon on February 5th in Hilversum!  During this interactive experience, we’ll explain what Copilot is -and what it is not- while you test its capabilities and limitations with peers in a secure and scoped setting.
