I mentioned in a previous post that we were experimenting with Azure Virtual Desktop. One of the things that I need to be able to do is launch from a web page. We have figured out how to do that using this info: Uniform Resource Identifier schemes with the Remote Desktop client for Azure Virtual… Continue reading Further AVD Adventures
Launching an AVD Published App Via Command Line
We are experimenting with Azure Virtual Desktop and I have a need to launch a published application from a command line. I haven’t found much documentation on that, and perhaps that is because I don’t know where to look. However, I did find out a few things that might help me. Everyone who has the… Continue reading Launching an AVD Published App Via Command Line
Certificate Woe’s and Wonders
I have been using Let’s Encrypt for my site certificates for a few years now. Something about that price of ‘free’ makes it appealing. I recently bought a new computer. I work in IT and should be able to handle that with no issue. When I got my new computer, I copied all my relevant… Continue reading Certificate Woe’s and Wonders
Blogging With Word
I have been using Open Live Writer, since it was Windows Live Writer. I like it, and it feels pretty easy to write what I want. I am about to setup my 9 year old to do some writing on a blog (not this one). Here is a short tutorial for using Word. From the… Continue reading Blogging With Word
Jetpack has some stuff
I don’t do a lot with my blog. My posts come at a rate of about 10 per year it seems. I think I have had this blog going for a little more than 18 years. I have about 183 posts (before this one), but they haven’t come at a consistent interval. It should be… Continue reading Jetpack has some stuff
Another Blog?
This Blog runs on WordPress installed on a Windows Server that runs in Azure. There are obviously cheaper and easier (probably?) places to run a WordPress blog. But I work in a Microsoft centric environment and I work in Azure (a lot) and doing it this way allows me to tinker and test things. I… Continue reading Another Blog?
Azure CDN Endpoint Certs Bummer
I have a site (Michael’s World) that uses an Azure CDN Endpoint. I have shared here before that you can use this to share static web content. I had it setup with the apex/root domain and went to update the cert. (You have to bring your own cert or pay for a cert for the… Continue reading Azure CDN Endpoint Certs Bummer
Redirect Http to Https using Azure CDN
In my recent efforts to move my one page, static content website, I have had a few challenges. First let me say, those challenges were most certainly due to my ignorance, and not due to the technology in use. Also, some of my issues are related to trying to make a simple task more complicated… Continue reading Redirect Http to Https using Azure CDN
Finally got it all working
I have been on a quest the past few days to move one of my websites to Azure. Overall, it isn’t really that difficult, but it also isn’t very clear. First, I created an Azure Storage Account, and enabled it for static website capability. Then, because I don’t like easy, I enabled it for HTTPS/TLS… Continue reading Finally got it all working
Let’s Encrypt
As I posted previously, I am working on moving all of my websites to Azure. I started with the easiest one, which is a static page. So far, I have moved it, and it is now reachable via HTTPS, but not without the ‘www’. While that isn’t important for that particular site, it is important… Continue reading Let’s Encrypt
