Apps and library updates (2023 Edition)

I've been slack in maintenance and haven't had new feature ideas as I've been somewhat abstracted from development in my current role. Nonetheless, I have gone through and updated dependencies for all apps and libraries that make sense to update. The goal here is to keep things current, although I...

Something something adventure update

I've been very quiet on the blog front for some time, and I admit my updates to software have been lacking. I've been on this adventure for a year now, and it's occupied a lot of my attention. I'd hate, however, to leave this blog neglected and unloved indefinitely! So...

Lurgle.Logging adds AWS Cloudwatch support

It's been a while since I've added functionality to Lurgle libraries, but I played around with adding AWS Cloudwatch support to Lurgle.Logging. This affords further opportunities to use Lurgle.Logging as a common logging library with all its 'baked in' benefits. To do this, I leveraged the 'official' AWS.Logger.Serilog sink. Puzzlingly,...

Lurgle.Transfer updated to address underlying CVE, other updates

I haven't had a lot of time lately to work on the various apps and libraries I've created or contributed to, but a vulnerability in SSH.NET needed attention in Lurgle.Transfer. This vulnerability was noted here, and required an update to dependencies. That's done now, with all other dependencies updated. The...

An Unexpected Journey

I've been quiet on the blog front lately, because an unexpected but exciting adventure landed in my lap in late January. I was approached by Amazon for a role, and I freely admit I initially thought the email was spam or phishing! After realising it was very much real, I...

Seq.App.EmailPlus-Enhanced available!

Email+ (aka HTML Email) I have had some pull requests open for a while for Seq.App.EmailPlus, which are quite large in scope and degree of change. This is because they are transformational in nature - adding fallback mailhosts, delivery using DNS resolution, fine-grained TLS control, enhanced logging, and adding a...

Lurgle.Logging now supports Splunk!

Lurgle.Logging until now has supported just the File, Windows Event Log, Seq, and Console log types. It was always the intent to extend this to other log types to support the overall intent of Lurgle - accelerating and enhancing structured logging in your projects by leveraging the excellent work of...

Updating Seq.Client.EventLog for dynamic properties and more!

I have had a fair bit of mileage from Seq.Client.EventLog. It's a great little service that was quite reliable for the simple usages that I initially had. When it came to monitoring for user logins, my first port of call was here - I wound up needing to fork the...
