It's been a month... SIGH oh well. I'm bad at this. What have I been doing? Lots of ... stuff? OK; not much. Let's check my MtgDiscovery.com git history and see if anything interesting is going on there... Nope. Not a lot. Probably would have something if I used good…
Last post I mentioned about swapping the DB for some data. Well... I've done it. Mostly done it. I've got code written for it. I still need to get the IaC set up for the DB and connection strings... blah blah... I got the code ... some code... written. Ignoring the…

OK, so - I've got the new version of MtgDiscovery up and I started doing more non-local work. My head-to-wall(and repeat) work with Azure B2C early into this project is coming roaring back. This time, APIM has joined the fight. Going to the App Service URL and signing in…
