Every now and then a special event comes up where you can’t help but think “I really, really want to be there”. This happened to me with Data Moshpit in Berlin and again with Fabric February. When the first information dropped, I was waiting for both the call for speakers and the ticket sales. There … Continue reading Speaking experiences at Fabric February, Oslo

If you've been having fun with Microsoft Fabric, chances are you've been playing around with the F64 capacity trial. This one is given to you by Microsoft for free but, since the GA data, the timer attached to it is counting down the days until you need to buy your own. Most blogs I've read … Continue reading Microsoft Fabric, comparing the F2 with the preview F64
It's the end of the year and we've all been bombarded with lists. From november on, things like Spotify wrapped started appearing (even though the year hadn't ended yet).

As I'm not really invested in the PowerBI part of the data platform (yay pie charts ;)), some things that are very common for the PowerBI community are very new to me. … Continue reading Microsoft Fabric, deployment pipelines
Yes, I've been at it again with Microsoft Fabric, and as I'm trying to find the limits of this new cool toy, the limits sometimes get angry with me and throw an error. Most of the time this error is caused by me and I can usually figure out what's happening, but not always. Exit … Continue reading Notebook exit code 137. Cause and solution
