Webhook Post To Microsoft Teams
In the not too distant past, sending a webhook to a Microsoft Teams channel was pretty simple. You could click the 3 dots next to a channel name, select the webhook option, grab the URL, and you were basically good to go. That method has, unfortunately, gone by the wayside, as the official documentation will…

Resizing LogicMonitor Collectors
I spend a lot of time using LogicMonitor at work. It’s an awesome platform that has a lot of flexibility and extensibility. There’s also a ton of supporting documentation for anything that isn’t immediately clear. The other day I ran into something that I couldn’t find documented, though: how to change the size of a…

MLB The Show 25
Since we’re now beyond the MLB trade deadline and the push is officially on for teams attempting to make the postseason, it goes without saying that this post is extremely late relative to the game’s release. MLB The Show 25 came out back in March, and I’ve been playing it throughout the spring and summer.…

Standard Ebooks
While it ebbs and flows in tune with what sports season we’re in the middle of and how busy work is keeping me, I like to think that I do a decent bit of reading. (I wanted to go with the phrase “avid reader”, but that felt like a bit much considering I know people…

Windows 11 Activation Via M365 E3 License
My last post was about getting a Windows 11 VM up and running on Apple silicon under UTM; this post was the next phase after I got my VM running where I wanted to license it. Windows licensing, especially for random VMs, is kind of funny these days. Back in the day, if Windows wasn’t…

Windows 11 VM on Apple Silicon with UTM
In the recent past I (unfortunately) found myself in need of a Windows 11 system. I needed to test if something I was working on in PowerShell 7 on macOS would run natively under Windows PowerShell 5 on Windows 11. I really wish that Microsoft would just fully deprecated Windows PowerShell and only support PowerShell…

Rapidly Testing Python Packages As Modules
This is a post I’ll file under “How on Earth did I go so long without knowing this?” when it comes to working with Python packages. The majority of the Python code that I write tends to be backend code that is containerized. As I had alluded to in my post on deploying Groovy applications,…

Apple CarPlay Ultra
CarPlay has become a key way for me to use my iPhone while driving. My current car is rapidly approaching its 10th birthday, but the fact that it managed to offer CarPlay support (even though it’s only wired) is crucial for me. From using the display in my dash to manage my music, see where…

ip.me By Proton
In one of the few newsletters that I don’t immediately unsubscribe from, Proton periodically will share updates about new products they’re launching, new features that have been added to existing products, etc. In a recent mailing, they highlighted a product that I didn’t even know existed: ip.me Look up IP addresses, and find your own,…

Secret Level
While I watched the series several months ago, I haven’t had an opportunity to write about Amazon Prime Video’s Secret Level series until now. When I saw that it involved a lot of the same folks behind Netflix’s Love, Death, and Robots (of which I still need to watch the latest season at the time…
