Windows Server 2016 was launched less than two months ago, and one of the attractive options is an excellent makeover of Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS). The latest version is stacked with great features and is seriously worth the upgrade. However, I thought I’d point out one of the […]
Continuing on from the previous article, PowerShell Basics – Consuming a Web API, let’s move on to some slightly deeper scripting. Querying an API in isolation is seldom useful in isolation, as it requires a deal of manual work to keep feeding the script. What if we could programmatically import […]
Over the weekend I decided to do some tinkering with data from my long list of vinyl records. I’ve been trying to ensure that the more valuable LPs are stored away from the hands of my little cohorts – and popular website discogs.com happens to have both marketplace data, and […]

Most regions paired for redundancy. 500+ new releases in the past12 months, exceptional rate of change. Additional stats – the platform is very […]
Introduction We’re finally here, and luckily for me, Microsoft has published an updated version of the Azure Stack – Technical Preview 2. I was unhappy with the performance of my original configuration (relying far too heavily on iSCSI), so I blew away my first (successful) deployment and reconfigured my server […]
It’s been a while… Those astute enough to skip to the earliest article posted on Sanders Technology may note that it was published almost ten years ago as of next month – on the 17th of October, 2006. – Earliest Article on Sanders Technology That’s actually not quite accurate, some […]
It has been some time since I last looked at a new iPhone accessory, and at this stage it’s time to look at a new case. I’ve really been impressed with the lightness and durability of the advanced range of tough waterproof cases, so today we’re taking a close look […]
Today I attended a Federal Government briefing at the Microsoft offices in Canberra. The agenda covered a wide area of topics, all relevant to Government and other sectors. These are my raw notes, taken during each session. I apologise in advance if they appear incoherent; I was put to task […]

Continuing on from Part 3. After the keynote, we walked back to the MTCC and as my first session was at 11:30-12:30pm, I decided to go directly to the food hall to grab an early lunch. On the tables were a number of conversation starter cards, although I didn’t have […]
Following on from Part 2. Editorial note: These keynotes started around 8:45am and ran non-stop until 10:45am, but sometimes went over. As a result, it’s a lot of content to cover, hence why I’ve been splitting them out into separate articles. By the time we returned to the MTCC, it […]
Following on from Part 1 I left off just after the first vision keynote on the first day of the conference. After the keynote finished, thousands of delegates started walking back to the Metro Toronto Convention Centre (MTCC). The initial push seemed to be towards the lowest level of MTCC […]
Earlier this month I flew to Toronto, Canada to attend the 2016 Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference. This was my first time attending a partner conference, and it was quite an experience. There was far too much content to complete in a single article, so I’ll start with an introduction and […]
Continuing on from the previous article.. I carefully inserted the PowerEdge M910. So that’s where I left off. Jumping straight in, I powered up the enclosure to be greeted with errors. So it turns out that any blade inserted needs its mezzanine cards to be aligned (slotted) to the chassis […]
Yesterday I visited the new Facebook headquarters in Menlo Park, California. The overwhelming size and engineering excellence demanded an article by itself. Henceforth, I’m continuing to write about my visit to the “classic” Facebook buildings. When we left off, we were waiting for the Gold Shuttle to take us across […]
