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:
- How to export the whole SSL (or TLS) certificate chain based on the original using PowerShell?Every now and then, you run into a situation where you have a certificate for a website or service, but for one reason or another, you don’t have the whole chain. You’re missing some or all of the intermediaries, and even the root certificate, perhaps. This is something I run…Continue reading How to export the whole SSL (or TLS) certificate chain based on the original using PowerShell?
- How to solve keyboard shortcuts not working in Google Chrome on Windows?This article explains a fix to a puzzling issue I had with Google Chrome, where my keyboard shortcuts would seemingly randomly stop working and I’d need to click around (or change to another application with Alt+Tab) to get them working again. Luckily, the solution (or I guess it’s more like…Continue reading How to solve keyboard shortcuts not working in Google Chrome on Windows?
- Search (and secretly, sync) broken in OneNote? A quick fix!This article explains how to fix sudden and surprising synchronization problem(s) in OneNote, that first surfaces as search (the one you open with CTRL+E, not the unified/M365-wide top bar search) not finding any results from the page content, even if it might find some from the page or section titles.…Continue reading Search (and secretly, sync) broken in OneNote? A quick fix!
- “Destination Path Too Long” when copying files in File Explorer? Easy workaround(s)!This article explains another situation where you might run into a “The file names would be too long for the destination folder. You can shorten the file name and try again, or try a location that has a shorter path” error, and how to get around it. Don’t install “LongPathTool”,…Continue reading “Destination Path Too Long” when copying files in File Explorer? Easy workaround(s)!
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.
