#Netizens - my comic strip series


I feel cartoons are a great way to express your thoughts and anger without getting into trouble...at least most of the time.

A good cartoon is like a sugar coated pill, it can make bitter things palatable.

I have a lot of cartoon ideas but most of them just stay in my head due to lack of time & mainly laziness to draw.

Back in July, I read about a promising & nifty comic generator on Twitter and got hooked, line and sinker.

Comicgen is a free comic generator from the good folks at Gramener. It allows you to create you own stories & cartoon strips with configurable emotions, angles & poses for a bunch of pre-built characters. New features are constantly being added.

Comic strips can be built with HTML code or even more easily in PowerPoint.

As most of my cartoon ideas deal with millennials who are digital natives for whom the Internet is like food and air, I'm calling the comic strip series #Netizens

Maven Crash Course - Learn Power Query, Power Pivot & DAX in 15 Minutes

Image
In the Maven Crash Course " Learn Power Query, Power Pivot & DAX in 15 Minutes ", Chris Dutton walks through a hypothetical business case while showcasing the power of modern Excel tools like Power Query, Power Pivot and DAX. Power Query is used to extract, transform, and load data from external sources like SQL databases, PDF and CSV files. A relational model is created to join the tables without writing a single formula. Exploratory analysis is done using Power Pivot and Data Analysis Expressions (DAX). Data Analysis Expressions is the language that we can use to define new calculated columns and measures to enhance our Data Model instead of the traditional cell formulas that we'd typically use if our data was stored in worksheets. Pivot Charts and slicers are used to design a simple interactive report that the sales managers can use to analyze revenue trends and product performance.

Gartner Magic Quadrant for Strategic Cloud Platform Services

Image - Gartner Insights I found interesting from the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Strategic Cloud Platform Services report: The eight SCPS providers & global hyperscalers featured in this Magic Quadrant control over 97% of the total CIPS market. While AWS has maintained profitability and a leading global infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and platform as a service (PaaS) market share of over 42%, its growth rate relative to its key competitors slowed in 2023. Azure public cloud market share is 26%. GCP's overall market share stands at 11.5%. Oracle's strategy of positioning OCI as the top cloud for Oracle software i
