Went through my sticker stash and (attempted to) cover my laptop. Which naturally lead to a his and hers comparison.

I sat down to work on #BurntToast this afternoon and it very quickly spiralled into working on a v2 release. At the moment this is looking like: * Moving to binary (i.e. compiled C#) module. * Dropping support for Windows #PowerShell.

Created a visual notification designer and testing tool for the #BurntToast PowerShell module @toastit.dev . Design notifications with a GUI, test them instantly, then copy the #PowerShell command to use in your scripts! Still a work in progress. Might be a bad idea lol. github.com/hov172/BurnT...

Did you know #PowerShell has a load of built-in PEBKAC repellent? Learn all about it on Wednesday at the Pacific PowerShell user group where I teach you all you will hopefully need to know to add parameter validation to your code. 🔗 Link:

Thanks again to @andrewpla.tech for having me on #PowerShell Wednesday and the PowerShell Podcast recent. Had a blast, always love talking about toast (and catching up with a mate!)

BurntToast turns #PowerShell into lovely toast notifications Here’s @toastit.dev creating a toast notification with a button that launches Notepad. Use your imagination and think of the possibilities! Try it yourself: Install-Module BurntToast New-BurntToastNotification 1/2

I just published version 1.0.0 of psedit. It's a terminal-based editor for PowerShell. This includes a new variable window, some bug fixing, YAML syntax highlighting and updates to the latest version of GUI.cs. github.com/ironmansoftw...

It’s wild to think the BurntToast #PowerShell module has been making Windows notifications for 10 years. In our latest PowerShell Podcast episode, I got to chat with its creator @toastit.dev about finally hitting version 1.0 after a decade of community love and iteration. 1/2

@dotdot.horse challenged me to a contest of skill. I accepted. Eldoria. She is now... TOASTED! Thanks to @toastit.dev for the awesome BurntToast library! For giggles, Eldoria will use BurntToast to create and update a toast during battles. :) youtu.be/ImB9gd61rlo #gamedev #powershell

This PowerShell Wednesday, we raise a toast (notification)! @toastit.dev , the mind behind BurntToast, is showing how to make toast notifications in #PowerShell and what's new in v1 2pm ET, or watch at your convenience

@stevenjudd.bsky.social is back on the #PowerShell Podcast 🎙️ We talked about beginnings, pushing through the “valley of despair,” and why community is the key to growth. Clip below 👇 Full episode here: youtu.be/yu6RVPwp8KY

Join Josh King for a look at his BurntToast PowerShell module! BurntToast acts like a personal chef for your Windows notifications Josh will recap BurntToast’s history and reveal what lies ahead for this fantastic module. #powershell @toastit.dev www.meetup.com/research-tri...

Come join me (virtually) at next week's RTPSUG meeting where I'll be talking about the past, present, and future of #BurntToast www.meetup.com/research-tri... #PowerShell

Day 1 of #TechMentor is done. We had a great time and a great audience.

If ChatGPT is going to lobotomize its personality, I guess I'll get my light glazing from Gemini instead.

#BurntToast v1 is LIVE! #powershell toastit.dev/2025/07/22/b...

In gearing up to release #BurntToast v1.0.0, I'd love to highlight some interesting (either visually or technically) uses of the module. If you're able to share an example, that you don't mind my including in a blog post, please let me know! #PowerShell

I've just released a new preview version of the #BurntToast #PowerShell module. If you had tried out the previous preview version, do note that I reversed course on doing a full re-write and so this is much more similar to v0.8.5. www.powershellgallery.com/packages/Bur...

This is the module I use when I travel. I can run commands on my home machine while traveling. No VPNs, port forwarding, or PowerShell Remoting required. #PowerShell github.com/jdhitsolu...

My #PowerShell module, #BurntToast, is closing in on 25 million downloads from the PowerShell Gallery. Very grateful to everyone that has used BurntToast over the years, and especially those that have given feedback/reported bugs, etc. www.powershellgallery.com/packages/bur...

The more skilled you are at a given task, the less useful you’re likely to find LLMs for said task. It’s not that every LLM detractor has never used a LLM before, it’s more likely you’re just bad enough that the LLM seems good in comparison.

I’m honored to be the recipient of the Sean Kearney #PowerShell Spirit award at #pshsummit Sean was a huge influence on the PowerShell community, and I’m truly humbled. His positivity, passion, and impact continue to live on through the people he inspired.

It's been nearly two years since I've written an article for my technical journal. While it's not exactly directly related to #PowerShell, it is related to community and mentorship. #tsql2sday #CareerDevelopment #TechCommunity #TechMentoring #Mentorship thedavecarroll.com/powershell/m...

#Pwsh tip of the day! Implicit remoting allows you to "borrow" a module installed on another box. I'll explain a gist: gist.github.com/steviecoaste... Happy Scripting!

Hi, folks! My friends over at Inedo are delivering a Webinar on using Chocolatey with their ProGet repository product tomorrow and Thursday. If you use Chocolatey in any capacity it looks to be a pretty solid lineup of content. You can get info and join here: inedo.com/webinar-2024...

First GitHub, now Steam ... seems momentum is picking up for Bluesky!

This is an amazing list of Starter Packs. If any of my mutuals or followers have created a tech focused Starter Pack and you want it included, please reach out to @stefanoborrelli.bsky.social. By the way, Steven, thanks for creating this gist and including the #PowerShell community pack!

Decided to rebase my LittleLink site links.gilbertsanchez.com from upstream and add my Bluesky link to it. If you have a domain, this is a trivial site to run that doesn't contain ads like many of the other linking platforms.

"Pepper Raccoon never has sales" YEAH WELL I HIT 10K ORDERS, so I'm having an absolutely giant sale over Labour Day weekend! Email list and patrons have already SMASHED this baby, so a few things have sold out, be quick to avoid disappointment! AAAND GO: pepperraccoon.com

Seeing the influx of tech people coming over to Bluesky reminds me that we *all* made tech twitter what it was, not the other way around.

This is your regular reminder that in this modern era, you should be putting some thought into what happens to your digital estate when you no longer can manage it yourself. (Thanks @dbatools.ai for starting this important conversation) github.com/potatoqualit...

I think BlueSky will be significantly better for conferences than any other site. Organisers can create speaker starter packs to allow attendees to auto-follow all speakers. Also a custom feed of all folks skeeting abut a conf would be a big win.

Have you done something cool in the #PowerShell, #DevOps, #Automation space that you want to share with the community? Personally, I'd love to see more non-tech/"soft skill"/career growth talks alongside the technical deep dives. Go submit a talk for #PSHSummit 2025! sessionize.com/pshsummit25
