MacOS Outlook Calendar Copy Events

The Copy/Paste of an Event in the Outlook Calendar is no longer offered and cut off without much notice. I can confirm this in Outlook on the Mac as of 4Q-2024. This appears to also impact Windows users but they have a registry workaround to re-enable it. This is not a bug but functionality that was intentionally removed by Microsoft for reasons mentioned in their post below.

Outlook blocks copying meetings with “Copying meetings is not supported.”

This change drove me insane as I historically used calendar events to track my work and export it for hour accounting against projects. Using Tempo with Jira integration made this even easier. Before this change, I would just copy some work event from earlier and move it to a new time that had my project code and description of the project. It was a massively convenient piece of my workflow.

So, deep breath, I finally found another method to make copies of Events that was not obvious.

Certifications

I’ve got a pile of certifications that I’ve accumulated over the years.

Below are my Redhat Linux, Microsoft, Sun Solaris, Nortel Networking and ITIL cert logos. I think the RHCE and Sun Solaris certs were probably the hardest of this bunch.

RHCE MCP SCSA NNCDS ITIL

Here are my SAS certifications that took me six months to complete on my own time. The Clinical Trials Programmer exam was by far the hardest of this set of tests. I mostly use my SAS experience now to port software to R.

SAS BASE CDI STAT BI CLINICAL TRIALS REGRESSION MODELING

I’m interested in the security CISSP and VMware VCP5 certification but have not had the inclination to spend the money or time yet.
