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
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?

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
What is this CI/CD thing? Let’s do a tutorial!
Well, according to Wikipedia, CI/CD is: In software engineering, CI/CD or CICD generally refers to the combined practices of continuous integration and either continuous delivery or continuous deployment. CI/CD bridges the gaps between development and operation activities and teams by enforcing automation in building, testing and deployment of applications.

Revisiting my Blog
I have spent a decent amount of time over the years, trying to convince myself to spend some time on my blog. I have updated the OS of the VM that runs it. I have migrated from whatever platform I started on (I think I had two different ones going at one point.) I have… Continue reading Revisiting my Blog
