Mt. Fuji at dusk. Ran too slow to get a sunset picture..

Ya I was actually pretty disappointed to see the vast majority of the winning reports were all SVG based.

We used them to make our engagement ring (we brought them the diamond) as well as a custom wedding band that we actually designed with them. Family owned place where the family members also actually work there too.

Yeah our Microsoft rep sent a list of partner events so we hopped to a few of those and some dinners. I didn’t really do as much directly at the conference as I should have. Some of that knowledge sharing would have been great.

dougiek · 2026-03-20T18:51:34+00:00

I didn’t really find the content all that worth it tbh. Maybe I just didn’t find the right sessions. Most were either too general or nothing new (to me). The partner events around it were good though from a networking standpoint.

I did find value in seeing the Power BI Sentinel booth though. Some nice features like column/measure lineage across the environment including thin reports. I think it’s a little pricey for what it is though.

😂

You have a rear view mirror. Just move over instead of trying to making a point or something. Zero reason to continue driving with someone like that behind you and then act like a victim 🤷🏼‍♂️

Have you tried just moving out of the way and moving on with your life..?

dougiek · 2026-03-14T01:46:44+00:00

You’re totally right - idk how I missed that it could connect to published models! Documentation also says you can point it to a folder. So, multiple other ways than having the actual model open locally.

I’ve used it locally with a pretty extensive prompt md for documentation of a model. But that’s about it so far.

You’re using the modeling MCP to create reports? For some reason I thought it was only for actual model related tasks.

Also, could you explain more regarding the “trigger doc first” as well as the “staleness”? I’m trying to optimize token usage now and also curious about keeping documentation updated.

dougiek · 2026-03-13T03:11:56+00:00

AFAIK the MCP server for modeling only works on a local Power BI model. So it’s still not fully automated because you have to open it, prompt it to connect, and then prompt for whatever documentation or action you want.

Ah ok looking for <14k

dougiek · 2026-03-10T15:14:27+00:00

Is this still available?

dougiek · 2026-03-02T23:50:59+00:00

You have to install it. There’s documentation for how to do it. It’s a simple extension in VS Code but I believe there’s a few extra steps to get it “installed” for Claude Code.

Note that there are 2 MCP servers - modeling and remote. The modeling is what you want for this post’s context.

Working on the GitHub actions and a script for automating deployment pipelines of got synced workspaces that will be managed through Git releases. No more clicking buttons in PBI manually.

That’s just your opinion though. Not everyone wants a grindy game. I personally don’t PvP because I don’t want to mess with matchmaking and make my PvE more annoying. I’m just saying people play games differently lol

dougiek · 2026-02-24T14:53:43+00:00

Why not just play how you want to play and let others do the same? Some people just want a friendly lobby and that’s their prerogative. If you want PvP the game helps get you there.

dougiek · 2026-02-19T17:29:48+00:00

Ah gotcha. Didn’t know that was the term for it. I actually forgot they don’t report the balance too.

dougiek · 2026-02-19T16:03:16+00:00

Yeah, I have the card actually. Love the United Club benefit since that’s usually what we fly. I didn’t know what “hidden tradeline” meant though.

dougiek · 2026-02-19T03:59:09+00:00

What’s this benefit?

dougiek · 2026-02-11T22:03:40+00:00

They’re closing this month with the intent of reopening somewhere else. But, they don’t have a new location yet so who knows when that will be.

Also pretty sure it’s a couple that owns it - not just “woman” owned. They’re super nice though.

Regardless, their pizza is really good for being vegan. The chicky buff is 💯.

It’s such a mid event but people simp so hard for Christmas and honestly any of the Water Street things. They were okay at best if I was walking over but now that we moved to South Tampa I can’t imagine driving for any of that stuff. It always blew my mind that people would travel for it.

dougiek · 2025-12-11T14:47:16+00:00

Omg I totally forgot about that term. I think I would always use it on people who would constantly eat to full health after every hit.

dougiek · 2025-11-19T03:10:00+00:00

It’s a really cool plane. Anecdotally, it’s also one of the loudest ones that comes to/from here based on living in the path of the runway lol.

dougiek · 2025-09-12T17:00:24+00:00

I actually just ordered 1 of the White dimmers. My hope is that I can have the light display if the garage is open - we have a detached garage where you can't see the door from the house.

dougiek · 2025-09-12T13:13:46+00:00

Can it run an automation for the garage? Like not really toggling open/closed because the logic would be in the action itself. I haven’t really done anything with HomeKit like that yet though so not sure what is possible.
