I do Azure data stuff. I love coffee, video games, LEGO, woodworking, and pool/billiards.
The #amcplus website viewer is fundamentally broken. Restarting paused video freezes but the audio continues. Resume doesn't work and always restarts an episode from the start. The support on their website is all for non-browser apps but they don't have an #xbox app so my options are limited.

I have been humbly reminded this week that coding is failing over and over and over again until the thing finally works.

Man, I haven't been to a Code Camp (let alone presented at one) in almost a decade! So happy to see they are still a going concern.

As a confirmed non-morning person, I can’t decide whether the snooze button is a great invention or an evil one.

I love Assassin’s Creed, it is my all time favorite franchise. That being said, the cut scenes in Shadows feel interminable.

It’s often the simplest projects that are the most satisfying. This is a rolling cart I made for my shop vac and cyclone. #woodworking #workshop

I'm not a huge fan of #facebook, but I visit once in a while. With Reels, has anyone else noticed that the volume is always "full blast"? I can mute but not adjust the volume, so it is all or nothing.

If you recently mentioned how great and beautiful the snow is, or that you miss it, or wish you had some - please come to my house and help shovel and snow blow my 9-car paver-stone driveway.

I'm trying to upgrade an Azure Function App to .NET 8/AF4. I can't get any credentials to work when debugging. DefaultAzure, ManagedIdentity, VisualStudio, AzureCLI. All fail.
I love Azure. I love C#. I love Visual Studio. But whenever I try to put them together I end up angry and frustrated.

Over the last year I’ve been remodeling our basement. Along the way I got interested in woodworking again. Today I built this miter saw fence extension and charging station.

I’m having a problem with my #xbox series X overheating whenever I play a game. It’s happened with multiple games over the last few months and is getting progressively worse. Anyone else experienced this?

I guess with all the talk of .NET 9, I should finally get around to upgrading my .NET 6 projects to .NET 8.

I regularly receive texts from random numbers that just say "Hello". I assume they're trying to get me to engage for nefarious purposes, but does anyone know what the scam is? I'm not devious enough to figure it out.

What is everyone playing?
I finished my run through of Mafia: The Definitive Edition. It was a fun game - decent story, great graphics, interesting blend of driving, shooting, and sneaking.
Yesterday I started Control Ultimate Edition. It has a cool vibe to it, really liking it so far.

I'm watching a co-worker give a presentation on how to use ChatGPT to create presentations. In it, he has actively created a presentation and is giving the presentation he created to ChaptGPT for review as part of his presentation.
