Today, I'm going to write about a lesser known feature that you can find in Microsoft Edge (but also in Google Chrome). Both are chromium based browsers and both have the well known and widely used "Guest mode". This mode allows you to work in Edge (or in chrome) without the (security) context that you have …

This morning I saw a colleague working in Git-Bash and the good-old-fashioned "windows command line" and I thought to myself, why doesn't he "just" use Windows terminal? So, I showed him Windows Terminal and he was impressed. First thing he asked then, was if it would be possible to add Git-Bash as …

For years and years, we all have been copying an pasting stuff on our PC. Chances are real that you typically had to copy specific things over and over again and that this action cost you a lot of time. The so called "problem" was that there could be only one item stored in the clipboard and each time …

This post is one that I have been willing to write for a while and it has been sitting in in my drafts folder since march. It's a bit sad/funny having to say this as this post is about time management and/or time keeping. All I know is that, as is the case for the most of you, I don't have enough time and that I …

This weeks post is one with a lot less text! I really dislike having to click around in the UI of an OS/application to get things done and I love it whenever that I can take a shortcut to shave off a few seconds of the time that I would need otherwise! It happens regularly that I see other people working and see them …

In some organizations, finding a moment to discuss something with the right stakeholders, is such a painful undertaking that you have to plan weeks in advance (only to get cancellations just before "the big moment" arrives). This is a real issue that a lot of people have to deal with on a (very) frequent …

I've been wanting to write this post for a while (a few years) now and I never took the time. At some point I just thought that it wasn't relevant anymore, but since I'm working on a project in a similar context and I feel that the need still does exist, I could not refrain myself and write this thing down. If you …

Today, a colleague contacted me with an issue that he encountered during one of his builds: The problem lies with something legacy that we try not to use anymore wherever possible, but in this case, there seems to be an exception. In Azure DevOps, the default for version control was once (actually not that long …

Important: This is mostly for the Belgians among you A few weeks ago, I was talking to a colleague via Teams and at some point he was interrupted by a phone call. He took the call (I told him that I would wait as it seemed "to do something with him") and I heard him speak to the person that called him. It …

Every so now and then, you might have to set up meetings with people from somewhere else on our little planet. It is already complex most of the times if you have to do this within a single time zone, but it gets even more complex when you have step outside one time zone. In the beginning, I counted the difference to …

If you are like me and have always a huge amount of tabs open in your active browser(s), then you might like the introduction of sleepy tabs in Microsoft Edge (the new one based on Chromium)! It was introduced a few weeks ago, but at the time I only managed to take a screenshot of it (the introduction) back then... …

Chances are real that you have been working from home for a while now and that (like it is the case with me) your days are filled with online meetings. Those meetings are typically planned back to back, leaving no room for a little break. Those little breaks were typically inherent to switches between meeting rooms or …

I have been working with the new Microsoft Edge for a few months now. This browser is (just like Chrome) based on chromium and offers quite some features. You can thus compare it to google chrome with the difference that Microsoft and Google each have their own approach to quite some elements. Microsoft has published a …

If you are as keen on (keyboard) shortcuts as I am, then, you will really appreciate this one! Teams offers a bunch of them, but they are not really visible... To solve this, you can type alt + / and a nice cheat sheet will appear! Enjoy!
