I’m a Finnish Software Developer Entrepreneur living as a hermit on the beautiful Finnish countryside. Koskila.net is my personal professional (i.e. professional, but definitely personal) website.

On this site, I’m blogging about all kinds of exciting and/or tricky topics. Mostly just to write them down for myself.
See a few of my latest blog articles below:
- Sideloading Teams apps suddenly blocked? YES it’s broken.
This article explains why you might have some trouble uploading your custom Teams app on your dev tenant lately. Because, yes – there’s an ongoing service disruption going on. Problem For some background, my tenants have sideloading (uploading custom Teams apps) enabled: But when you’re trying to Upload an app,…Continue reading Sideloading Teams apps suddenly blocked? YES it’s broken. - Am I the problem? Even onboarding to the Apple ecosystem failed miserably.
I’m on Summer vacation, and I figured it’s a good time to do something slightly different – it might finally be a good time to put the finishing touches on this lighter article about my recent forays into the Apple ecosystem. Which haven’t exactly been perfectly smooth sailing. In this…Continue reading Am I the problem? Even onboarding to the Apple ecosystem failed miserably. - Any kubectl command throws “Unhandled Error” err=”couldn’t get current server API group list: Get \”http://localhost:8080/api?timeout=32s\”: dial tcp [::1]:8080: connect: connection refused” – what do?
This article explains a fix to a – frankly possibly a little bit dumb – problem, where all kubectl commands suddenly throw an error along the lines of “couldn’t get current server API group list: Get \”http://localhost:8080/api?timeout=32s\”: dial tcp [::1]:8080: connect: connection refused”. Since I don’t ever have Kubernetes running…Continue reading Any kubectl command throws “Unhandled Error” err=”couldn’t get current server API group list: Get \”http://localhost:8080/api?timeout=32s\”: dial tcp [::1]:8080: connect: connection refused” – what do? - “Sync error. We are having trouble syncing. Click ‘Sign in again’ to fix the issue.” in OneNote? Let’s fix it!
This article explains a fix to an annoying issue, where OneNote sync randomly breaks. Yes – another one of those! This time, it’s probably one of the earlier issues again, but coming back with a different error message. For whatever reason… Read on to see what went wrong this time…Continue reading “Sync error. We are having trouble syncing. Click ‘Sign in again’ to fix the issue.” in OneNote? Let’s fix it!
What’s koskila.net about?
The tagline for my blogging efforts has been Solutions are worthless unless shared for quite a while already. That’s to say, since I’ve gotten a lot of help from the community whenever I’ve had issues getting something to work, I like to give something back. This blog is my way of doing that.
Blogging has been a great, lightweight way to sort my thoughts and document weird fixes and findings along the way. And boy, has there been a lot of them! Microsoft’s stack always keeps surprising me – mostly in a positive way, but there’s an occasional bump on the way too.
These are some of the topics I often write about: Azure Active Directory errors, Azure PowerShell errors, terrifying examples about how to open a modal dialog in SharePoint using JavaScript, all kinds of weird new Microsoft Azure -related tidbits of information, a bunch of Visual Studio -related (and other) tips and tricks, and of course the blog’s namesake – SharePoint Problems.
A lot of people seem to struggle with the same issues, as the blog recently had just shy of a million visitors in a year. Mind-blowing. May you find my thoughtful workarounds as useful as I have!
In addition to more technical posts, sometimes I might post about my sessions at different community events, or experiences as an expat living in a foreign country (in 2017, that country was the USA, in 2018 & 2019 Canada). Right before the pandemic, I moved back to Finland to live in the middle of a forest. Quite literally, as I need to somewhat regularly scare moose away or they’ll eat our apples and trample my robots. Our pests are large.
Speaking Gigs
Back in the olden days, when the world was not on fire, I used to travel to different events. Now it’s all digital, which is… Not quite the same.
You can also see a list of all my sessions and session materials.
