BYOD promised flexibility, but IT had to weigh it against security and control. With Cloudpager, employees authenticate with Entra ID on an unmanaged Windows device and their apps virtualize as encrypted Cloudpaging containers. @rorymon.com n builds a full workspace in minutes.

Thanking the opponents and thanking the referees is a nice touch. Thanking Elverys...meh. The earlier thanking of Centra etc. is a bit 🥴 I get it but when there is such a big deal about it being amateur, leave the money interests to the side. They get enough advertising out of their sponsorships.

They managed to make Croke Park's playing surface fairly nice considering there was a hosepipe ban all week. Meanwhile, Pearse Stadium yesterday ⬇️ Still would rather water used for the pitches rather than Meta's DC.

Hard to believe its been 14 years! Being a Microsoft MVP has been an honour. Thank you to Microsoft and to anyone who has bothered to read a blog post, listen to a podcast episode or attend a presentation I have delivered over the years. 🙏

Missing prerequisites quietly break app deployments: a user opens the app they came for, a dependency was never delivered, and out comes an error and a support ticket. We've now extended Cloudpager's App Dependencies to Cloudpager Storefronts, shown off here by @rorymon.com

Patch speed isn't a security awareness problem, it's a packaging capacity problem. 48,000+ CVEs in 2025, exploits within hours, yet legacy pipelines take days to patch. @rorymon.com talks how Cloudpager's AI Packaging closes the gap, apps encrypted and visible only to entitled users.

Packaging is a one time cost. Instability after deployment is a recurring one. Traditional installers modify the OS in place, updates fail or conflict, and support overhead mounts. @rorymon.com walks through where the real cost lives and what containerization does to that picture.

Been on strong meds all year. I was struggling through Catch 22, it was too complicated for my brain in its current state so I bought shorter books to read. I read Small Things Like These in its entirety this weekend (110 pages). Difficult subject matter but the easiest read of my life. Read it📚
