Eldest son has just watched Wrath of Khan for the first time after working through series 1 & 2. He’s bereft.

No #tweetbot for me this morning. If it’s permanent, it’s bye-bye Twitter time.
I even got to activate Windows by telephone for the first time today! Wouldn’t have even gone there in 2008!
Two things I discovered today:
1) a fresh install of Windows Server 2008 R2 can’t activate or even download Windows Updates anymore because of root certificates and TLS issues.
2) once you persuade it to do both, 14 years of Windows Updates take over 12 hours to install.
Unfortunately, and unbelievably in 2022, the above work was actually genuinely necessary! (And kinda fun, if I’m honest.)
Time to de-lurk and make an #introduction ! 👋
I’m a developer / founder based in the north of England (Wigan). 🇬🇧
I spend about 60% of my waking hours tinkering in C# and playing with #azure technologies, acting as a babelfish between techies and non-techies, coaching on energy supplier industry-operational processes and running a brilliant team at redbear.co.uk of whom I’m immensely proud.
For the 40%, I’m a dad of two young sons, dad-taxi driver, #rugbyleague 🏉 fan and #cricket 🏏 fan.
