Yeah. Me too… I could not for the life of me figure out why Waze, which I am a big fan of, had stopped loading maps! I even went as far as to join the beta team to report it as a bug when I found out it was happening on Android as well. I had not thought to ask another… Read more →
Today again I found myself trying to remember the logon commands for Office 365 Powershell! (Weirdly, I can remember commands once I am in, but constantly forget the logon ones). Anyway, because this frustrated me again, a bit of Googling found me this blogpost from Ryan Mangan. Now, the whole story is not on Ryan’s site. There are some other… Read more →

Sometimes you have to give up a technology because it doesn’t suit all scenarios…. Today, I had to remove Windows Server 2012R2 Data De-duplication, which is a very clever technology that reduces disk space use. The downside in my scenario was that it also seemed to cause massive slowdown in Windows Server Backup, and whilst it gave me great disk… Read more →
OK, so lets face it, the iPhone was always going to be amazing and I was always going to buy one. But I was never sure about replacing my trustworthy Pebble watch which has served me well as a smart device on my wrist. In fairness to the Pebble, it works really well. First and foremost as a watch,… Read more →
I am now a proud owner of a Surface Pro 3 i7 model. Honestly, this is one of the best tech devices I have ever owned (that does not fly). There have been various people in the Microsoft forums reporting issues with overheat and shutdown of the device. My device only got “hot” once, and that was when I first… Read more →
Well. This says it all to me. Thanks for all the laughs…

With the recent 1TB upgrade of user personal storage on Microsoft Office 365 you have lots of space to play with… this is a great thing.
