Another week, another post with some of the things I encountered this week that might be useful\/of interest to others…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last week, I mentioned I had passed the Microsoft Power Platform Fundamentals<\/a> exam (and I passed the Microsoft Azure Fundamentals<\/a> and Microsoft 365 Fundamentals<\/a> exams several months ago). This week, I added Dynamics 365 Fundamentals<\/a> to that list, giving me the complete set of Microsoft Fundamentals certifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Achievement Unlocked: I’ve got the full set of Microsoft Fundamentals badges now, across all three clouds… #Azure<\/a> #Microsoft365<\/a> #Dynamics365<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/yxoqhF1ryi<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Mark Wilson ????

The move was a bit rushed (I missed some communications from my hosting provider) and had some DNS challenges, but we took the opportunity to force HTTPS and it seems a little more responsive to me too (though I haven’t run any tests). For a long time, I’ve been considering moving to Azure App Service – if only for reasons of geek curiosity – but the support I receive from my current provider means I’m pretty sure it will be staying put for the time being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Those who follow me on Twitter are probably aware that for large parts of the year, I’m “Cyclist’s Dad”. At weekends in the autumn, I can usually be found in a muddy field somewhere (or driving to\/from one), acting as pit crew, principal sponsor and Directeur Sportif for my eldest son – who loves to race his bike, with cyclo-cross as his favourite discipline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This weekend, we should have been at Battle on the Beach<\/a> (not technically cyclo-cross but still an off-road race) but that’s been postponed until the Autumn, for obvious reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Instead, we’ve been having fun as my son upgraded his CX bike to electronic gears, using a Shimano Ultegra\/GRX Di2 mix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Witchcraft, I tell ye, there must be dark magic at work. Electronic gears! #Di2<\/a> ????? pic.twitter.com\/jmOb7QCNYT<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Mark Wilson ???? (@markwilsonit) April 17, 2020<\/a><\/blockquote> Website move<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
