Rubber Ducks and Emotional Damage A practical guide to troubleshooting Power Platform issues by managing error messages, logs—and your own emotional meltdown.

I wrote a blog about troubleshooting #PowerPlatform (or anything, really)

It turned into a manifesto on emotional chaos, ego, and talking to a duck in a Starfleet uniform.

Somehow… it makes sense.

I love the AI functionality 🤣🤣

What about the calculator for Business?

I would use that, but only if there's a Copilot for it 🤣

You just know what I want to hear 😁

uhhh, that sounds interesting. Any chance there will be a blog or video about that session? Or can I see it somewhere else?

can't wait 🥰

ohhh, I think that will be a very valuable session. This goes on my schedule right away 🤓

As usual, you're one step ahead dear Sir 🤣
I love it

And I just realized I need to clean my keyboard soon-ish. Now, where's my MVP ID 🤔

Pics or it didn't happen 😁

What could possibly go wrong? 🤣

How do you troubleshoot when things break? 🧩
I’ve got Geordi la Quack (yes, a Starfleet rubber duck) judging me until I fix it.
But I’m curious—what are your go-to tricks, tools, or mindsets when debugging weird stuff?

How to unmanage an environment? Learn how to convert a managed Power Platform environment back to unmanaged using PowerShell.

Bridge day: too lazy to work, too guilty to nap.
So I wrote a blog instead.

What if I’m not an MCT, but considered to become one lately?

And is there a tl;dr version? 😅

Can’t wait to watch this one 🍿🤓

The Duolingo Early Riser badge. A bear called Falstaff brushing their teeth

I just unlocked the Early Riser badge on #Duolingo — 100 lessons before 9 AM!

Either I’m dedicated, or Duolingo has secretly turned me into a #morning person.

Next step: learning how to function without coffee. ☕🐦😂

Ohhh, what an exciting list. Can’t wait to go through 😃

Thank you so much

Snow in Tallinn

#Lifehack:
Being at the airport around 4am

Pros: no traffic, no queues, everything is easy

Cons: Being at the #airport around 4am 😅

Also: yay #snow ❄️🥰❄️

Dr. Ott Velsberg in stage

Dr. Ott Velsberg, the official Chief Data Officer from Estonia, opens the second day of #CTTT25

A strong message that shows how important the discussion about #data and #AI is today

And you had a pretty awesome session too 😄

Such a powerful post that works for all genders ❤️

I wanted to pick a favourite quote, but there where too many. So I ask: what’s your favourite one?

The whole event will rock your socks off. @vesajuvonen.bsky.social is definitely prepared during keynote 😁🧦🧦

Crowded room in Tallinn at CTTT25

#CTTT25 just kicked off and the room is packed for @vesajuvonen.bsky.social and his keynote 🤯

Off to a great start with a fantastic #community 🥰

Book recommendation anyone? 🌍

With pandemics, fires, wars, and a general shift to the right, it’s tough reading the news these days. But this book gives me hope: “an antidote to despair and a road map to a better future.” 🥰

But how to break it down into simple actions for everyday life.🤔

That’s a good point. Arguments on social media never stop, so rather than me burning out arguing with trolls, I prefer to focus on what I can change and do.
Show, don’t tell.
This will attract people who want to discuss, think and listen.
At least that’s my experience 🙂

My favourite step is nr 6:

dream up a delicious menu 😋

I love that hashtag 🤣🤣

That was my point. Idea creation and recording? Piece of cake. Producing and post production…
Oh look, a butterfly 🦋

😅

Media Adventure? Sounds interesting. I pondered the thought about dipping my toe into YouTube 🤔
