 A gray stopwatch icon above the message “Microsoft Tech Community Maintenance.” Below, smaller text reads “The community is down for scheduled maintenance, please try again later.” The image conveys that the Microsoft Tech Community website is temporarily unavailable.

Timezones are difficult, but combined with DST it's even more complex. Somehow the iOS #Delta app doesn't know how to correctly handle DST changes in The Netherlands during the flight (3am local time) when the arrival time has to be updated. It should be a delay, not arriving earlier...
Flight status screen for Delta Airlines flight DL0142 from Seattle to Amsterdam. Departure delayed to 13:59, arrival now expected early at 07:57. Shows nonstop duration of 9h55m and status ‘Awaiting Takeoff'. However, it seems the new arrival time isn't corrext due to disregarding DST change in The Netherlanss during the flight.

And that was the 2026 #MVPSummit for me! Although there were some post-event sessions today, I choose to sleep in, relax and visit the Bellevue Botanical Gardens on this beautiful sunny day.

On my way to the #MVPSummit in Redmond! Soon boarding the Saturday 10:15 Nerd Bird from Amsterdam Schiphol. A lot of networking, socializing and gathering #NDA knowledge on #NDA, and #NDA and #NDA. Probably #Microsoft365 related 😉 Grateful being able to attend in-person, thank you #Rubicon!

Currently in the Teylers Museum in Haarlem, The Netherlands and I stumbled upon a quote from the US Declaration of Independence. Felt a need to share this...
The image shows a small historical room furnished in an 18th‑century style. At the center is a wooden writing desk with a polished surface, accompanied by two upholstered chairs—one positioned behind the desk and one in front of it. The chairs have wooden frames and patterned fabric, suggesting a formal or period‑appropriate design. The floor is covered by a richly colored, ornate rug featuring intricate geometric and floral motifs.

Mounted prominently on the wall above the desk is a large vertical scroll or banner. It displays a well‑known passage from the United States Declaration of Independence in bold, decorative lettering. The text emphasizes the phrases “created equal,” “unalienable Rights,” and “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Below the quote, the banner attributes the passage to the Declaration of Independence, dated 1776.

The room’s walls are painted in a muted, warm tone, and the lighting is soft, giving the space a museum‑like atmosphere. The overall setting appears curated to evoke the environment of an early American statesman’s study or a historically significant meeting room. The furniture arrangement, the preserved style, and the prominently displayed founding‑era text all contribute to a sense of reverence and historical reflection.

One #IT related observation from 2025: do not underestimate the importance of "on-premises" infra know-how. Whether it's to fully offboard to the cloud, exit from the cloud or something in between: I still find value in having years of knowledge & experience with #legacy systems. Or is it just me?
