New article (rant) warning! π¨
As you might now, I'm a sucker for cool #HomeAssistant stuff. To estimate Solar production, I've created a nice template sensor solution since the #ElisaKotiakku APIs only just became available and are still kinda flaky.

Ha - #GitHubCopilot didn't like me addressing it without capital first letter.
And this fix cost me one premium request, too... π
#GitHub
I guess it's safe to say that #SharePoint is more popular than ever.
And if you needed any proof of that... π€
#itiswhatitis #m365status #outage
Newsflash: Even Copilot can't help you when #Azure starts flipping its switches on you randomly.
I guess I just have to blame the #cosmicbackgroundradiation? The universe is out to get me.
If that's the WORST that it throws at me, I'm actually quite ok with that.

Oh, the day finally came! I was reaching for the - you guessed it - COPILOT KEY on my laptop, with the intention of actually opening the #Copilot chat!
But - nothing happened.
Why?
Because I'm a mac user, and I don't have the key πΆ
Damnit, #Microsoft. Even when you succeed, you make me fail. π₯²
In this week's "funny Agent governance stuff", here's how to publish a Copilot Studio agent in Teams even when Teams says "no" to a Global Admin trying to publish it π₯Ή

New Outlook (NEW) is great. It truly combines the power of native development paired with the speed of web development.
And suddenly it's 4 years later, and (on the mac version) you still can't subscribe to an online calendar.

Oh, the irony!
It's super refreshing to jump back to #Windows every now and then, even if only to relish the memories and confirm that yes, all of the problems are still there π
π
Credit where it's due: #M365Copilot actually just took leaps in productivity and usability. I'd like to think me complaining about it in length last week lead to Microsoft laser-focusing on it. But I'm not THAT delusional π
Now, the experience with #PowerPoint, though... π₯²
Next week, hundreds of Microsoft MVPs are heading out to Redmond (in Seattle) to attend the #MVPSummit26.
I'll be virtual this year (again) due to the cost, risk and hassle - but safe travels to everyone who actually gets to go!

Yesterday, Microsoft changed the AI game the way the always do: by introducing new licensing bundles! π₯³
The long-awaited M365 E7 bundle is finally here - and at $100 USD, it's sure to provide tremendous value to customers and shareholders alike!

The world feels chaotic: wars, tax hikes, poor investments while the economy struggles, the environment is bust... Meanwhile, AI.
Yet, amidst these issues, it's important to appreciate the positives, like #SharePoint.
Happy 25th Birthday, SharePoint!

Got to love how the #NewOutlook has decided that my theme color now is "poison green". Another move that kind of underlines the fact that the P in "PC" does NOT stand for "Personal"... π€
Recently I had to refresh my memory on Graph Change Notifications - i.e. how to register a webhook to get updates for resources such as Document Libraries on SharePoint.
And a quick PoC later - here are my notes in blog form :)

I spend my weeks normally working from home, so when I get a chance to travel to an exotic southern city to meet some Omnia colleagues, I better take it! π
So, see you tomorrow #Stockholm! πΈπͺ
KA-BLOW! π₯
That's the sound of your development workflow on Windows BLOWING UP if you have a colleague using a mac. π₯οΈ
Just because #Windows can't handle long paths. π₯²
Fear not! Easy fixes are available - read the article to be surprised by the best way to fix it!

Living on the bleeding edge of #AI can be fun - but not when losing Β½ of your #agentic workforce suddenly!
All of my #Frontier Office Agents went AWOL. And #Agent365 wasn't making it easier to figure out what happened π΅
Check out the fix from this week's article!

Last week, I had the honor of presenting a session together with my good friend michaelmaillot.bsky.social on M365 Agents SDK at #CTTT26 - and what a fun conference that was! I'm sharing the slides (and some photos) in this week's article!

More awesome sessions at #CTTT26, this one by @yhabersaat and @michael_maillot on #M365AgentsSDK and #CopilotStudio
Time to head out to #CTTT26! π’ #visittallinn

This week, I'll be at #CTTT26 in Tallinn, talking AGENTS with my good friend MichaΓ«l Maillot! If you're getting your Microsoft Agent 365 SDKs and Microsoft 365 Agents SDKs confused, join us as we set the record straight π€

Oh, okay then! I can wait.
It's not like you have to pay 30 USD / month for this feature... π€
#Copilot
Okay then #MicrosoftViva
You can have the best #UX designers in the world and the most comprehensive design manuals and playbooks, but this is still the design you come up with β€οΈπ #justmicrosofthings
#Microsoft365 Groups vs #DistributionLists: While they largely behave the same, the admin UIs are different becauseβ¦ why wouldn't they be? π
Stop emailing the wrong people and fix your group members - all without even opening "New Outlook (NEW)" π€

In the past 12 months, it's been fun to discover the similarities and differences between #Windows and #macos.
One thing that's very similar is #OneDrive being a massive power hog!
But at least it's much more stable on a #mac π
I wish we all had the endless confidence of #GitHubCopilot. Would make public speaking, performance reviews or any other stressful situation much easier.
Here it proudly fixes the issues with timezones it found in documentation.. By inserting exactly the same values. π€·ββοΈ
Well done, #agent.
I have a confession to make: this is yet another, clickbaity headline by yours truly π©
#AKS doesn't change IP addresses randomly - only when it needs to, and even then, it'll do so fairly logically.
Follow along as I learn what that logic is π₯²
