I just one-shotted a 26 min YouTube video and that’s a good feeling. No edits needed.

You’re welcome buddy. Written version coming next week on my site.

I’m glad you picked up on the fact there’s many techniques in this video. It makes it hard to describe why someone should watch it. But good to know those who do learn several lessons.

These are the cheapest sunglasses I could find. A free promo item from a Canadian grocery store named “No Frills.”

Yellow really stands out in thumbnails.

I feel good. I managed to record a #CopilotStudio YouTube video in 1 take. This thing is being posted unedited tomorrow.

Except for when I ran out of hard drive space and had to re record some.

Scott literally ended the thread with </rant>. So it’s logical to assume it’s a rant.

As an arm-chair orthopedic spine specialist I think the kid should do less backflips.

Great performance 🎤

“In my objectively correct opinion” is a phrase I’m going to start using. For comedic purposes of course. I’m not like that IRL.

3 strategies for choosing a topic to blog:

1. Solve a problem no one else has 🔥
2. Improve upon an existing method 🤓
3. Do the same thing, but explain it better 👶

I want to eliminate the words “deterministic” and “heuristic” from all explanations of AI.

The average person does not understand what they mean.

Set Citation to Open Specific PDF Page In Copilot Studio Citations can be customized to open a PDF to a specific page in Copilot Studio by appending the text “#page=3”.

New Blog Post 😃

In this #CopilotStudio I share how to open a PDF to the specific page where the citation is made. 📕

A colleague told me "this is the best use of customizing citations I've seen yet" 🌟

“Internet 2: No Bots Allowed” would be amazing if it ever came to exist.

Oh man Dave Barry is amazing

I think it’s a type of Ukrainian sausage ring. But I am also too afraid to ask.

A fair point

I did not ask for this…

I made a #YouTube video for the first time in a year. 📹

While filming a 10-min scene my daughter came into the room and asked for a snack. 🍎

Was making hand signals off camera to say “yes” while not breaking my speech. 👍

It was pretty funny to me & I left it in the video. Life happens. 😄

Hey buddy, I’m trying to work here 👋

Did you pick up the Frito Lay cookbook or something?

Why? 🐱

By all means Shane. Do it.

What’s old to us is new again to people who caught onto Power Platform a little later.

I sing the praises of classic workflows like all of the time. And love to teach them to my protégés.

Sometimes I forget 🐘
#PowerAutomate can store 🏬
files on my hard drive 🚗

Power Automate Save File To A Local Drive Power Automate can save a file to a local drive by installing a on-premise data gateway onto a machine and using the File System connector.

New Blog Post 😃

In this #PowerAutomate post I show how to save files to a local machine with a cloud flow ☁️

Meanwhile, In Canada 🇨🇦

I wrote 6 #PowerPlatform articles today. So now I will rest for 6 weeks and drip them out one at a time 💧

But the neat thing is I might let people get them all at once if they sign up for my mailing list 📬

It will be a neat experiment to try 👨‍🔬

Power Automate Run A Query Against A Power BI Dataset Power Automate can query a Power BI dataset to return an array of values. This is useful for retrieving the count and sum of large datasets.

New Blog Post 😃

In this #PowerAutomate article I show how to get data from a #PowerBI dataset 📊

It’s off the charts. You can get thousands of rows and perform aggregations (sum, count, etc) 🔥

Power Automate: Actions, Outputs & Body Functions The Power Automate body function, actions function, and outputs function allow you to get any inputs/outputs you want from a previous action.

New Blog Post 😃

In this #PowerAutomate article I give examples of how to use the body function, actions function, and outputs function 👨‍💻

The actions function is best because you can get header values that don’t appear in the dynamic values list 🔥
