The Copy/Paste of an Event in the Outlook Calendar is no longer offered and cut off without much notice. I can confirm this in Outlook on the Mac as of 4Q-2024. This appears to also impact Windows users but they have a registry workaround to re-enable it. This is not a bug but functionality that was intentionally removed by Microsoft for reasons mentioned in their post below.

Outlook blocks copying meetings with “Copying meetings is not supported.”

This change drove me insane as I historically used calendar events to track my work and export it for hour accounting against projects. Using Tempo with Jira integration made this even easier. Before this change, I would just copy some work event from earlier and move it to a new time that had my project code and description of the project. It was a massively convenient piece of my workflow.

So, deep breath, I finally found another method to make copies of Events that was not obvious.

My relatively new microwave just stopped heating things for no apparent reason one morning. We bought it a couple years back (about 3 years ago), so I was not happy as I expect these to work awhile with several working for ten (10) plus years. We picked up a new one from the local white box retailer as we wanted a replacement quickly. But my wife while digging around on Youtube found Microwave works but wont heat - Cheap and easy fix which was exactly what we experienced.

That video said it was likely a fuse or diode which are both cheap enough that they are worth an attempt at fixing. That will give me an extra microwave for the kids to use upstairs if I can fix it and save some landfill space.

A working HP ProCurve Java WebUI screenshot to show that I got it working.

My earlier post HP ProCurve 2800 initial setup discussed an initial configuration of a network switch and mentioned in passing that I got the ProCurve Java WebUI working in a relatively safe manner. Here is how I put that together on a modern machine running Windows 10 Professional 64-bit.

^{_{WARNING: It should go without saying that you should not use the FireFox Web Browser from January 2017 that we are setting up here for the very old Java Web App supported on hardware released in 2004 and EOL in 2013 on the public internet. You will be hacked without a doubt in seconds. These are completely unpatched versions of two very very very old pieces of software. You have been duly warned.}}
