There seems to be a common misunderstanding in specification of IT systems about what five nines uptime means. I saw this recently: 99.99999% works out at just over 3 seconds a year, which is not impossible, but an unnecessary expense in all but the most critical of settings

Just back from a wonderful week in the Baltic States. Yesterday was the 35 year anniversary of the #BalticWay, when millions formed a human chain to literally stand up against Soviet occupation. We managed to visit both the start in #Vilnius & the end in #Tallinn

"Hello, this is 1997 calling. We want our website back."
Spotted this popup on a [name withheld] UK public sector procurement site. See this doesn't inspire confidence that the rest of the site will meet modern expectations for accessibility, security, usability etc.

Enjoying some geek tourism at @sim_manchester . Retro games, and the ultimate retro computer in the shape of BABY. Ih, and it looked like someone invented Teams in the mid 80s.

Never has alcohol free beer tasted so good. A hot one this year, and a nasty head cold made this my slowest marathon ever. #RobBurrowLeedsMarathon

Watching #Eurovision2024. Never thought a 30 year old PC operating system would inspire Finland in quite the way it did.

At work I think about processes, documents & governance in a cloud-first world. I've just been to vote, and it's eye opening to see how paper-based and manual democracy is. I can't think of anything else that relies so much on people marking and moving paper around.

I just noticed SharePoint Brand Center has just landed in tenants as preview. #SharePointBrandCenter
I'm looking forward to testing it out.

I noticed an "instructions" directive to shape the responses in #CopilotStudio. Nice idea, with some real practical benefits to focus the bots responses, although I failed to get the bot to talk like a pirate, which I so wanted for my demo.
