Duke Nukem 3D on PC


"I really like this game.  Dad let me play the levels he created when he was younger, and they're great fun 8 ½ / 10"

Coincidently, it's Duke Nukem 3D's 25th anniversary today, (29th Jan 1996) and despite the game being originally rated 18, the most it deserves now is a PG!

 Super Mario Bros on the NES

"Not sure what all the fuss is about!"

In her defence, I do agree with her.  I have always found Mario overrated, and there are far better and more enjoyable platform games available - Stu

Techie Post - Deleting emails from multiple mailboxes in Office 365

Occasionally I'm asked at work to delete an email that has been accidentally sent out to the wrong people.  It doesn't happen very often, but inevitably when it does happen, I forget the process, so I am including it here for personal reference.

Create a content search rule within the Microsoft 365 Compliance area - https://compliance.microsoft.com/homepage  (take note of the name you call it - you'll need it in the New-ComplianceSearchAction command.

Run Powershell as administrator and enter the following commands...

set-executionpolicy remotesigned
(only use this if you get an error about not being able to run scripts via Powershell)

$UserCredential = Get-Credential

$Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://ps.compliance.protection.outlook.com/powershell-liveid/ -Credential $UserCredential -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection

Import-PSSession $Session

New-ComplianceSearchAction -SearchName "Rule Name used in content search" -Purge -PurgeType SoftDelete

If you would like to see the progress of the search, use the following command.
