Quantum Computing is becoming one of my areas of high interest. That normally means I will overdo it, I’ll try to control myself but will likely fail. I have only just stared my journey on this road but I am certain to continue down it. I think my previous project like the 6502 which helped […]
Read More →Consumption vs. Runtime Scaling in Azure Functions
Technical terminology is its own language. If I speak German to a person who doesn’t understand the words I am saying, it would be the same as saying “hey, I was working on a runtime scaling issue yesterday and it was crazy awesome.” You might get the point that I was working on a runtime […]

I’m not a hacker, I don’t see the good that can come from it really. But, I do want to know how to do it so I can take necessary precautions. Also, I read about hacking and wonder sometimes if it really is possible these days. The attack vector which exploits the vulnerabilities of humans, […]

Read More →IIS HTTP status codes 408, 502.3, 502.5 and 500.37
In this post, these status codes have to do with ASP.NET Core running on IIS. ASP.NET Core uses a module to direct the request to Kestrel which can be referred to as a proxy. When there is a timeout in the ASP.NET Core application it will return a 408 to the IIS proxy. An HTTP […]
Read More →The decoupling of software solutions using some Azure products and features
I am a fan of decoupling the different components of a transaction to the point where is makes sense. What does decoupling mean? When I first started coding and building IT solutions, I can’t say the idea of decoupling existed at all. When I created an order entry system using Active Server Pages (ASP) and […]
