As anyone who follows me closely knows, (meaning I am the only one who knows) I have 3 domains and 2 blogs. That isn’t to say that I am a prolific web personality with lots of interesting content and large audiences for my blogs. Rather is is to say, domains used to be cheaper, and… Continue reading Using Claude Code to Update My Domains
Thoughts on the AI apocalypse
The great fear of Artificial Intelligence is that some entity will become self-aware and decide that humanity is a bug that needs to be exterminated. The more likely scenario is that some over confident programmer with no sense of caution will program something that ends with the destruction of humanity. Not because the program or… Continue reading Thoughts on the AI apocalypse
Just Thoughts About My Websites
I have written a little about the way I do my websites. I have 3 domains that I own, and at least that many websites. Everything is hosted in Azure, because that is what I am familiar with. If you are concerned about cost, you can probably do what I am doing a bit more… Continue reading Just Thoughts About My Websites
Further AVD Adventures
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
