Giving OpenClaw a Brain Using Your Existing Azure Subscription

Most OpenClaw guides assume you’ll pay for OpenAI or Anthropic. But if you already have Azure credits, you can run OpenClaw for effectively free — if you know how to get Azure Foundry models working reliably. I spent hours fighting with it so you don’t have to.

Cleaning Up Microsoft To Do: M365 To Do Maintenance Tool

Over the years, I’ve come to rely heavily on Microsoft To Do as my daily task manager. It’s simple, it syncs across devices, and it integrates nicely with the rest of Microsoft 365. But like many tools we use every day, it has its limits—and I recently ran headfirst into one. I had accumulated thousands of completed tasks in To Do. At first, I didn’t think much of it. Completed tasks are tucked…

Notifying a Teams Channel on Azure DevOps Pipeline events

Azure DevOps has some built-in mechanisms to notify people on build and pipeline events. These are quite restrictive however and don’t give you control over the format of the message, method of delivery (just email) or the filtering that you might want as to when to trigger the notification. For me I’m really interested in posting into specific Teams channels where the engineering teams do all…

Rumour has it the tickets were capped at 5,000 and it was a sell-out. I can attest to waiting in a very long line for…

Changes to how you sideload an Outlook add-in manifest (as of Sep 2023)

What is sideloading an Outlook add-in? This is the process of installing a modern web-based add-in directly from an add-in manifest file rather than from the store (AppSource). Sideloading is a common practice for developers during the development and testing of their add-in. It can also be used for Enterprise applications which are developed in-house and therefore don’t get acquired/deployed…
