Maybe that's the "old" uri. My personal repo is at
https://dev.azure.com/orthogonal/ and I recall some confusion last year
about  which uri to use. I have an MSDN subscription, which might weaken
comparisons. Which reminds me ... the damn subscription expires at the end
of June and I have a $1500 two year renewal dangling over my head. I know
it's a tax deduction, eventually, but I could buy 20g of pure gold for
that, or fund a pretty good cocktail party.

It's not Friday but ... Greg H, you and I were big fans of Silverlight back
in the old days, and there's still nothing to replace it in a web browser
app. Blazor is mercifully freeing us from the heavyweight complex pipeline
of ASP.NET server-side hosted apps, and good riddance to them. I will never
write a server-side web app again, from now on it's Blazor Webassembly apps
for me. I still have to create WebAPI RESTful services to drive the Blazor
apps, but at least they're mostly boilerplate. The alternative data driver
is Azure Function Apps, which I prefer to use whenever possible.

Blazor is a great step forward, but all rendering is still done via the
horrifyingly dumb and confusing constraints of HTML and CSS. Last weekend I
spent the whole afternoon trying to make a HTML "splitter" work and gave up
in tears, for now. How easy was that in the Silverlight rendering engine?!

I'm also depressed that the arrival of MAUI doesn't address the web browser
(does it?)
