Pronouns Available on Microsoft Outlook and Teams Profile Cards

I'm really pleased with the feature in Microsoft 365 that lets you add pronouns to the profile card! Pronouns are used to replace someone's name in a sentence, such as "she", "he", or "they". Adding pronouns to your profile can help you express your identity and show respect for others. It can also improve communication and trust among your colleagues in a hybrid multicultural workplace.

Never set pronouns on behalf of someone else.

To turn on pronouns:

You need to be able to access the settings in your organizational settings for security and privacy

Settings - Microsoft 365 admin center

Select Pronouns

Settings - Microsoft 365 admin center

Check "Turn on and allow pronouns"

To add pronouns to your profile:

Open your profile card in Teams or Outlook on the web.
On your profile card, select + Pronouns or the pronouns listed below your name.
To add or change your pronouns, select from the examples (only available in English), or enter your own.
Select Save and then Got it.

Turn pronouns on or off for your organization in the Microsoft 365 admin center - Microsoft 365 admin | Microsoft Learn

How to Create and Use a SharePoint App Registration

SharePoint App Registrations are incredibly useful for unattended tasks to read or update SharePoint sites. It's similar to a user service account but more secure. They cannot be used as a user sign-in. They are used in custom applications or automated scripted processes. They are made even more secure with a certificate, in which case, they may only run from the machine that owns the certificate.

The Fix: npm ERR! code SELF_SIGNED_CERT_IN_CHAIN [SOLVED]

npm ERR! code SELF_SIGNED_CERT_IN_CHAIN npm ERR! errno SELF_SIGNED_CERT_IN_CHAIN npm ERR! request to https://registry.npmjs.org/gulp-cli failed, reason: self signed certificate in certificate chain What does it even mean? How does one fix this? There are so much information, it's hard to parse what I'm supposed to do. The Solution: Disable the Company VPN This is not ideal and you should work in cooperation with your IT security operations to let them know what you are doing and why you need it. It was reading this article: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54611707/request-to-https-registry-npmjs-org-co-failed and the comments that finally clued me into our VPN causing the conflict. I previously did not have any issues but our company hired a new CISO who has been very active in hardening our corporate environment. What didn't work: gulp untrust-dev-cert Removing package-lock.json file Reinstall Node.js What I wasn't going to try (and you shouldn't either): npm...

PowerApps Productivity Timer

I like to track activities . I have several workout apps and a Fitbit . Measuring things allows us to monitor our performance and journal our success. But not all activities have ready-made, easy to use apps - a problem measuring things that don’t fit into popular categories. Early in my IT career I was an IT procurement specialist for a large enterprise. Procurement specialists process 20-60 requisitions a day. It’s a lot of paperwork (even with a digital process.) I oversaw making it more digital and less paper based. I succeeded in reducing a typical requisition from 8 minutes to 2 minutes. The process allowed procurement to reduce person hours by almost a whole position. I’ve always said that computers allow us to do more and there was always more to do. Being able to measure that efficiency improvement is the impetus for having an easy-to-use timer. I have learned many times over the years that productivity is lost or gained in the moments between activities. I waste a lot...
