Happy International Coffee Day! May your coffee be strong and the temperature hot!

Integrating Microsoft Learn MCP Server with Semantic Kernel I was recently working on a content discovery app and needed access to current Microsoft documentation, so I used Learn MCP!

Spent today, trawling through Dapr Agents - pretty neat. .NET and streaming LLM output would be handy - but on the roadmap for this year, so definitely keeping an eye on it! In the meantime, a few examples to play around with! github.com/dapr/dapr-ag...

For the first time ever, I hit the limits of my plan on @github.com because apparently, I used more than 2 gigs of build artifacts. I can't see any way to aggregate all my used storage across 100+ repos so I made a tool to do it for me github.com/shanselman/g...

I demoed this at Ignite last year—now it's real. Every server gets a dedicated Hardware Security Module. This fundamentally changes how we secure connected systems. End-to-end hardware-protected keys is now the baseline, not the exception: techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/AzureCo...

Great week, opened my mind to what can be achieved with Container Apps hosting Semantic Kernel running on NET9, Azure OpenAI with gpt-4o and a static frontend webapp running react and the Microsoft fluent ui framework! For now though, the lawns, grocery shopping and family time.

Hell is working with the indentation of YAML pipelines!

happy international meat steaming day for all those who celebrate. Final stage of my first attempt at making Montreal smoked meat is underway. Steam the chilled smoked cured brisket until probe tender around 197F.

[Share] resilient-coding-patterns This project aims to showcase common anti-patterns in software encountered in real-life cloud applications around the world. Not only do we explain, we also include code samples of what (not) to do.

If you're going to publish a .NET app as a container, do you do the build and publish in the container as a multi-stage, or do you do the build and publish on the host and copy the artifacts into the container? #dotnet

Beautiful day in Sydney for Cloud Con 2025! I'm going to be talking about @daprdev.bsky.social Agents. If you're here, come and say hi!

Phone Link has come a long way! Popped up in my recent Windows 11 update! Can run apps, see photos, make calls, and send messages over Bluetooth, even connect to a wifi hotspot off the phone.

Call me 'old fashioned', but there's still nothing like Hercules and Xena from the 1990s, not to mention Sinbad! Still some of my faves.

Just a reminder, the AKS Community call for APAC is taking a break for August. Usually held tomorrow. It's back in September, so make sure to check out the Community call link and join!!

I've been pretty unwell for the past week - hopefully today is the day I can finish a full cup of coffee! But made the trek to pick up a package for me - sent by a community member! You know who you are, thank you! It made my week!

Books I ordered back in April finally arrived! Going to take a break from reviewing books to do some fun reading instead and get through these!

[Share] Reliability Maturity Model This maturity model is intended to help you assess your current state and offer a structured path for improvement.

BSky will prob reduce video framerate, but here's Forza running at flawless 60FPS on the Xbox Ally "S." Performance on optimized games seems very impressive.

My Shadowmourne, one day I will find a place to display ye!
