Using SonarCloud for Open Source
My last few posts have centered around adding some code linting and analysis to C# projects. Most of this has been to identify some standards and best practices for my current position. During this research, I came across SonarCloud, which is Sonarqube’s hosted instance.

As a software engineer, there is no shortage of open source and… Continue reading Simple Site Monitoring with Raspberry PI and Python
MS Teams Notifications Plugin
I have spent the better part of my last 20 years working on software in one form or another. During that time, it’s been impossible to avoid open source software components in one form or another. I have not, until today, contributed back to that community in a large way. Perhaps I’ve suggested a change… Continue reading MS Teams Notifications Plugin
