It is one of the things I hear my colleagues, and even my girlfriend, mention regularly... Why does Microsoft Teams think I'm away while I'm not / My PC isn't locked yet... I read a few solutions, setting your status duration to a date in the future, etc... Didn't work 🙁 What does work is running my simple PowerShell scripts, which I will show you in this blog post 🙂

Recent podcasts I was a guest on
I listen to podcasts often, but I also view a lot on YouTube or other channels... But being in one, that's something else 🙂 In this blog post, I will post the ones I was in this year. They are all PowerShell related, but I guess you already knew that 😀
Text-To-Speech using PowerShell
Just a little fun thing for a Friday, text-to-speech! We used this many years ago at the office, sending this to the laptop of a colleague and having fun while he's trying to figure out where the voice is coming from 🙂
