Celebrating 10 Years as a Microsoft MVP!

on
Back from my vacation, I am thrilled to share that I have been awarded the Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) award for the 10th consecutive year. In addition to being recognized as an expert within Teams, I am have also been recognized as an expert with Microsoft Copilot. This means a lot to me.  Being an MVP has been an incredibly rewarding journey, both personally and professionally. It has provided me with countless opportunities to grow, learn, and connect with like-minded professionals who share a passion for technology and innovation.  The award is not just a title; it's a testament to the hard work, dedication, and contributions to the tech community. It's a privilege to be part of such an esteemed group of individuals who share the same love for technology, and sharing their knowledge about it.  As I reflect on the past decade, I am thankful for the experiences and knowledge I've gained. This recognition motivates me to continue sharing my expertise, mentor

Remote control through firewall

I don't know about you guys, but I help a lot of friends and family whenever computerproblems araise. And recently I had to help my mother-in-law get her new laptop on the wireless network I installed previously. I though it would be a simple thing, but I guess I was wrong.....

It is really hard to help out someone when you can't see the screen and messages that appear, and I was despearte to find a way to remote control her laptop. After looking around I came across this neat software from TeamViewer (teamviewer.com). It is free for non-comercial use, and worked across firewall and NAT's. All I had to do was to get her to plug into the LAN and download the software. The best part about the version I found, is that it runs without installing. You just need the .exe file somewhere on you disk.
