Reading Time: 7 minutes. Year 2018 is drawing to an end, and it’s a good time for some reflection on what an interesting year it’s been! Personally, quite a few things have happened in the last 12 months – I moved to Canada, started a new/old job, became a father, spoke at awesome events, met a lot of cool people – just tons of awesome stuff. But personal things aside, 2018 has been an interesting and rewarding time to be writing this blog! 2018 was the year when the […]
Category: Blog
So, okay. I’m writing all kinds of technical articles, that are almost like knowledgebase pages. I’m basically using this blog as a public documentation of different solutions I’ve found.
But then I’m also writing these slightly more personal blog posts, that aren’t exactly related to any technological solution per se. Some of them are personal professional updates, but some are actually more like rants.
This category is for the latter. You can find the non-personal blog posts here.
The Scary Anatomy of a Microsoft License Fraud
Reading Time: 10 minutes. Tis the season for gifts, and lots of y’all might be thinking about giving out a digital gift.

A cautionary tale of relying on the automatic backups in SharePoint Online
Reading Time: 10 minutes. So Microsoft keeps 14-day rolling backups of your SharePoint Online sites. That’s awesome – no need to take backups anymore, right? Not so fast. It’s not always so easy, and by just relying on these backups, you risk losing your data. Forever, I might add. This cautionary tale is about SharePoint Online, but I’d say you’ll need to take caution anytime you’re dealing with Microsoft’s automatic backups. The story starts with the client doing something unwise – a prime example would be them removing the […]
Thanks for coming to my session in SPS Nashville!
Reading Time: 3 minutes. I was at Cloud Friday and SharePoint Saturday Nashville, and had my session on Saturday – that was a lot of fun! I had the chance to meet a lot of new (and some “old”) people, and I think the community liked my session about Citizen Development tools (for “actual developers”) quite well!
