I ran into a somewhat annoying issue with using Mail Flow Rules with Exchange Online to modify the subject header on emails that were sent to aliases on some of my Office 365 accounts. I wanted to modify the email subject of those emails to show what alias it was meant for, and I figured I should share that process here if someone else runs into the same issue.

I have written about my obsession with ARM processors and why I have wanted one in a daily driver laptop many times before on this website.

As time went on, I realized that I really wanted an ARM-based device as my daily driver, regardless of the form factor.

I spent a lot of time moving around between 2004 and 2011, and I wasn’t always able to store things easily, so I got into the habit of traveling light.

To start off, 2021 went much better than 2020 for me. Even though COVID-19 is still a worldwide problem, and the pandemic is far from over, I was able to accomplish a lot more than I thought I would. This was both professionally and personally.

I recently migrated this website from the WordPress platform to Hugo. I wanted to go into details on why I made the decision to change CMS platforms, and what the process was for completing the migration. Changing hosting providers is usually a non-issue and can be performed with proper planning and a pre-determined cutover date, but migrating from one platform to another requires a lot more time and effort to complete successfully and there are always minor issues as a result.
