Resources
My toolkit for work and growth
The tools and sites I actually use for work, learning, and everyday life. Whether you're trying to grow your IT skills or just get more done, these are worth a look.
Work
What I use running IT for clients and running the business.
Computer PRO Unltd

My company's website, where we share IT tips, tutorials, and news. There's a lot on the blog and we try our best to keep it updated.
M365 Maps
m365maps.com
Visual maps of Microsoft 365 licenses and what each one includes. Very helpful when explaining the differences between licenses.
FreeScout
freescout.net
A self-hosted help desk with shared inboxes and ticketing, without the price tag of the commercial options. Read my post.

Incident management and alerting for IT systems. I was a fan of PagerDuty, but this is a great service for getting alerted when issues come up.

Apps and services that help me learn, stay organized, and keep my life on track.

Libby and Hoopla
Free with your library card
Endless hours of audiobooks and ebooks through your local library. I listen to a lot of audiobooks. Read my post on Libby.
Anki

A flashcard app with spaced repetition. Great for studying for certifications and learning a language.
Bangle.js

An open-source, programmable smartwatch you can experiment and learn with. I'm happy I switched to it after a few years on a Fitbit.
ACM

The Association for Computing Machinery. Great for staying on top of tech trends, and the membership includes a lot of learning resources. Highly recommend.

Services I run on my own servers. Feel free to follow along.
