LOL! Customer cancel our meeting next week to take the time to work on their Mythos mitigation plan...
It was a productive night
Tonight I should be able to start my Dragon Quest I 2D-HD Remake run. Dragon Warrior is the only game turn based RPG that I really enjoyed being a kid and growing up.
Might sound weird but just earing the song being so many memories.
I really enjoyed the remake of the 3 and read good thing about this one too. They really did a great job of mixing old style with new graphics and my brain compute it like this was the original game from my memory 🤷🏼‍♂️
So it will be a few nights down memory lane in the coming weeks.
Put some time to learn stream deck plugin development. Make a first version then decided to check what Github copilot could do for me and it delivers.
Created a working VPN status/connection plugin. Would need to do more validation and all before I would feel confident to publish it but it is on my Github if anyone is interested 🤷🏼‍♂️

Small businesses often face the challenge of doing more with fewer resources, and Microsoft 365 Copilot agents are designed to help tackle this issue. These digital assistants, like Researcher and Analyst, act as smart teammates that reduce cognitive load by combining skills, reasoning, and action. Researcher excels at gathering information from files and online sources to deliver tailored summaries on trends or opportunities in plain language—perfect for tasks like market analysis or competitor research. On the other hand, Analyst is ideal for making sense of raw data such as sales figures or customer feedback by spotting patterns, creating charts, and even suggesting actionable next steps based on its findings.

What makes these tools even better is their ability to work together seamlessly. For example, Researcher can gather customer insights while Analyst analyzes sales data alongside it to provide clear recommendations for improving products or services—all without requiring expensive tools or specialists. Designed specifically for growing businesses, these prebuilt agents integrate easily into your existing workflow so you can focus on scaling up rather than getting bogged down in tedious tasks. If you're curious about how these innovative solutions could streamline your operations further, check out the full post!

The article introduces Microsoft 365 Copilot Tuning, a streamlined solution for fine-tuning AI models tailored to specific business needs without the usual complexity and cost. By leveraging low-code tools in Microsoft Copilot Studio, organizations can train models using their own enterprise data to handle domain-specific tasks like document generation, summarization, and expert Q&A. This approach simplifies processes such as data selection and ingestion while maintaining security protocols like access control lists (ACLs). It also democratizes access to AI fine-tuning by reducing reliance on coding or extensive data science expertise.

Several companies have already piloted this technology with promising results—examples include Ernst & Young improving tax services, McCarthy Tétrault enhancing legal document drafting, and Land O'Lakes optimizing agricultural analytics.
