I’m a Finnish Software Developer Entrepreneur living as a hermit on the beautiful Finnish countryside. Koskila.net is my personal professional (i.e. professional, but definitely personal) website.

On this site, I’m blogging about all kinds of exciting and/or tricky topics. Mostly just to write them down for myself.
See a few of my latest blog articles below:
- Experiences from migrating to Bitwarden
I recently (finally) moved to a commercial Password Manager after I got tired of having to copy-paste everything from KeePass in my apps on Windows and letting the only company on Earth that has to remind themselves in their slogan NOT to be Evil handle all of my web/Android passwords.…Continue reading Experiences from migrating to Bitwarden - 2024 Year Review – and 20 years in business!
Wow, that’s quite a headline for a 30-something to write, right? But the very real side effect of being a weird kid and starting freelancing when I was on 8th grade is that it’s now just over 20 years since I finished my first paid website projects. This year everything…Continue reading 2024 Year Review – and 20 years in business! - Merging on GitHub Actions fails with “could not read Username for ‘https://github.com’: No such device or address”?
This article is going live 24th of December in 2024. That’s when we in Finland celebrate Christmas (yes – we celebrate on Christmas Eve, so that we can just chillax on Christmas day, either hungover, playing with our new toys, or both). I’ll have you know I wrote this article…Continue reading Merging on GitHub Actions fails with “could not read Username for ‘https://github.com’: No such device or address”? - How to close the Sidebar in Microsoft Edge
This article documents, how to close the Sidebar in Microsoft Edge. Because for whatever reason, Edge really does not make it obvious what the keyboard shortcut is, or if there even is one! I know what you’re saying. And believe me, that’s exactly what I’m thinking: Back to the “Project…Continue reading How to close the Sidebar in Microsoft Edge
What’s koskila.net about?
The tagline for my blogging efforts has been Solutions are worthless unless shared for quite a while already. That’s to say, since I’ve gotten a lot of help from the community whenever I’ve had issues getting something to work, I like to give something back. This blog is my way of doing that.
Blogging has been a great, lightweight way to sort my thoughts and document weird fixes and findings along the way. And boy, has there been a lot of them! Microsoft’s stack always keeps surprising me – mostly in a positive way, but there’s an occasional bump on the way too.
These are some of the topics I often write about: Azure Active Directory errors, Azure PowerShell errors, terrifying examples about how to open a modal dialog in SharePoint using JavaScript, all kinds of weird new Microsoft Azure -related tidbits of information, a bunch of Visual Studio -related (and other) tips and tricks, and of course the blog’s namesake – SharePoint Problems.
A lot of people seem to struggle with the same issues, as the blog recently had just shy of a million visitors in a year. Mind-blowing. May you find my thoughtful workarounds as useful as I have!
In addition to more technical posts, sometimes I might post about my sessions at different community events, or experiences as an expat living in a foreign country (in 2017, that country was the USA, in 2018 & 2019 Canada). Right before the pandemic, I moved back to Finland to live in the middle of a forest. Quite literally, as I need to somewhat regularly scare moose away or they’ll eat our apples and trample my robots. Our pests are large.
Speaking Gigs
Back in the olden days, when the world was not on fire, I used to travel to different events. Now it’s all digital, which is… Not quite the same.
You can also see a list of all my sessions and session materials.
