Another day, another #CodePen example of #CSS gradients and #SVG built with #Turtle 🐢 codepen.io/StartAutomat... Turtle examples: psturtle.com/Commands/Get... Gradient examples: mrpowershell.com/CSS/Gradients

I swear I need to share more. Want to play with #ollama in #powershell? Interact with any #ai with sweet and simple syntax: ~~~PowerShell tinyllama "What are you?" ~~~ github.com/StartAutomat...

#PowerShell Monday Night Modules alert: New bits of Gradient are out: github.com/PowerShellWe... Now it's even easier to generate stacked #CSS gradients! Check out some pretty cool examples: mrpowershell.com/CSS/Gradients

#PowerShell Monday Night Modules alert: MarkX just got a new release! github.com/StartAutomat... New in this build: Extract code blocks and #AtProto lexicon definitions from Markdown #Markdown (you can also extract tables, images, links) Have fun!

"Thousands of drivers are pulled over every day. Revving the engine doesn't give the highway patrol license to murder the driver". Great quote and great breakdown by @legaleagle.tv youtu.be/7AQbhes-Ntw?...

Some days people on the internet make me like: ( @griff.systems @jborean.bsky.social thanks for the assist!)

Moment of truth... does my #PowerShell > #JavaScript / #HTML / #CSS Digital Clock #CodePen render a preview image of the current time on #AtProto / #BlueSky? codepen.io/StartAutomat... Sadly, no 🫤. Pen works fine.

More #CSS / #SVG gradient fun: Messing around with blend modes and mixing and matching CSS gradients and SVG generated with #PowerShell and #Turtle codepen.io/StartAutomat...

Put out another #CSS gradient onto #CodePen This is the same interference pattern animation, just with a bit more color: codepen.io/StartAutomat... The #WebDev trick - make properties for -rx and -ry, and then animate them to morph the ellipse

Put a cool example of the #CSS gradients I've been making up onto #CodePen. Just sharing the #MathArt/ #WebDev / #WebDesign fun. This is a slow moving gradient pattern in pure CSS codepen.io/StartAutomat... Should I do more CodePens? Is there an #AtProto alternative yet?

#PowerShell #Regex quick #tip / #trick Match anything until something else with ` [\s\S]+? ` For example, find a table in #html: ~~~PowerShell $html -match "<table[\s\S]+?</table>" $matches.0 # Now has your table ~~~ Got Regex or PowerShell questions? Ask me anything.

When you finally figure out how to animate your #CSS repeating gradient background and it brings your page performance to it's knees. 🫤

I will say this for my own #Windows / #Linux debate: The #RaspberryPi updater can really bring those little boxes to a halt doing nothing more than downloading patches. 🤷 Who knew I would find myself missing Windows Update ?

#BackInMyDay I made a feed for "Back In My Day" and "I'm so old" posts. Probably the most entertaining and varied feed I've made yet.... bsky.app/profile/did:...

Now that I've got a #PowerShell module to help, I've been playing with making #CSS gradients. #FridayFun conclusion: CSS gradients are really cool 🤩 mrpowershell.com/CSS/Gradients

Hot off the press, a new PowerShell module PSNetDetour which you can use to hook any (caveats of course) .NET method and have it run your ScriptBlock instead. Great for experimentation, debugging, testing github.com/jborean93/PS...

@standard.site it would be amazing if you could post examples of the standard.site lexcions from this account 🙏 That way, it would be possible to use #atproto #xrpc repo.listRecords on this account to see how to implement a standard.site

Cybersec: Don't download an exe/scr/bat/lnk/cmd/arj/lzh from anyone. Even if you know them. Don't click on embedded gifs that don't load properly, cause they can be Powershell scripts. Discord allows users to easily disguise links now, so hover over to see where they actually go to.

New #AtProto feed alert! #BackInMyDay Contains any "Back in My Day" or "I'm so old posts" (for all of us older people getting more and more in on the joke) Back In My Day, Grandpa Simpson was a throwaway joke. Now he's a ghost of things to come. bsky.app/profile/did:... Thanks @graze.social !

#PowerShell Get-Member + "let's see what this does" is the original #VibeCoding IMO, still more fun and more predictable results.

@tangled.org just opened a bunch of issues on a repo and found myself desperately wanting a "preview" tab. I'll make it one more Tangled issue for the day if you tell me where I should put that particular wish.

#PowerShell on #Linux is a Beast Object pipelines and thread jobs mean much lighter local web app hosting than process isolation. Talking 1000+ nodes on a #RaspberryPi levels of "much lighter". Give it a try sometime. I promise it's fun. bsky.app/profile/mrpo...

I just found out #RottenTomatoes doesn't capture my old blurb on "Even Cowgirls Get the Blues" and now I have a bit of the blues. IMO, this weird old #IndieMovie needs to be seen by more people. www.imdb.com/title/tt0106... #ImSoOld I gotta see if I can even convert my .doc files anymore

Called myself a "Gen 2" old school #developer today. - Gen 1: Computers didn't exist when they were born - Gen 2: Personal computers were rare. - Gen 3: Web was new, computers were slow. - Gen 4: Web is common, computers are quick What #DeveloperGeneration are you in? #ImSoOld jokes welcome ...

Adding random color gradients to #Turtle 🐢 and a bunch of new shapes. Here's a sample triflower How's it looking? #PowerShell #SVG #PNG #Graphics

Some days I wonder if it would literally kill most developers to add comments.

The slightly more recent #PowerShell release is a little mini module for multiple groups: github.com/StartAutomat... Quickly create nested groupings with natural syntax: For example: ~~~PowerShell dir -Recurse -File | organize LastWriteTime.Year/Month/Day ~~~

My first #PowerShell modules of 2026 have dropped! Yesterday dropped a little module making #CSS #Shapes github.com/PowerShellWe... (just making the syntax more simple) Going to make a #GitHub page and more examples later this week. Try it now if you'd like...

@googleballs.com I have to ask... are you bad? I took a look at your page. And at the bottom... "What's this random #cloudflare script?" And then: "Why does it have #crypto references in it?" Call me concerned. #CyberSecurity #InfoSec #FYI #GoogleBalls #KickedMe bsky.app/profile/mrpo...

If you're playing with #GoogleBalls today and running a #PowerShell script to launch a website, please consider what damage that might do. Mind your box. Remember, #NERD: Never execute return data (especially with #PowerShell) Don't get kicked in the #GoogleBalls. bsky.app/profile/mrpo...

If we're going to keep going full 1980s, can we at least get a new New Wave? Until then, here's some old new wave (with a cool video) youtu.be/c1GxjzHm5us

#PowerShell #Usability mantra to live by: "Don't Worry, Be Alias Happy" Aliases make commands and parameters easier to remember and easier to bind. If you want your PowerShell to be easy to use: Don't worry, Be Alias happy.

I made a safe #WebDev repl for #Turtle and #PowerShell. Like, safe enough to give to family. Going to be giving my nieces a #RaspberryPi later today. 🎁 Then gonna try to get them inspired to learn about #STEM and #Programming. (They are ~5 and 8) 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞 🐢🐢🐢🐢 🎁🎁🎁 🤷🤷 🎄 ( Wish me luck )

It seems like people are always dunking on #PowerShell syntax. Lemme ask the world this: What langs do you know that support fully natural syntax? For example: ~~~PowerShell help Get-Command # or gradient red green blue ~~~ Anyone got anything?

#TodayILearned #TIL #NerdNews Apparently, the #Astronomy Picture of the Day full archive has a #y2k bug 😂 apod.nasa.gov/apod/ Pictures go back to 95. URLs have six digits. In about 75 years, this is gonna be a problem. 😆 Should be as easy to fix as the original Y2K bugs.

Any #PowerShell #MacOS people have a good wallpaper setting script hanging around? @steviecoaster.dev you got one / know anyone?

Guess it's now official. The #MTV generation has outlasted MTV. They left this world like they entered it. Playing "Video Killed the Radio Star" youtu.be/W8r-tXRLazs?...

Hit my mark! 🎯 Over 2500 #GitHub contributions in 2025! 😎 github.com/StartAutomat... #HappyNewYear! 🪩 So much new #PowerShell in 2025! ( #Turtle is my fav 🐢) Stay tuned for new #css #svg #html #powershell #gamedev #webdev #atproto #toys 🎁 in the #NewYear! 😉 🙏 Like, Share, Subscribe 🙏

Any significantly advanced educated guess is indistinguishable from magic.

Any other nerds ever shoot themselves in the foot with a ricochet? mrpowershell.com/GitHub This page lost layout yesterday. The layout script adds a header if a page lacks the <html> tag. I also posted this new tool: bsky.app/profile/mrpo... For 1000 points, tell me: What broke & why?

Just dropped a little #CSS #SVG gradient generator module github.com/PowerShellWe... #Example : $gradient = Gradient '#4488ff', '#224488' "<html><style>" "body { max-width: 100vw; width: 100vh; background:$gradient}" "</style></html>" > ./gradient.html #PowerShell #WebDev #FTW

Having a bit too much fun with my #PowerShell #Turtle #REPL #WebDev experiment. Pretty happy with the perf, considering it's running on a #RaspberryPi with a single node while recording video in #OBS Code being run in alt text. 🎵 is "Space Invader" by Hatiras, J-Magik Remix.

I feel like #BlueSky likes should have a higher convert rate #GitHub stars. 🙏 Please, for the love of traction. 🙏 Like the post. Star the repo.

Ever want to make #Markdown with #PowerShell? What about quickly query tables? MarkX is a new tool that lets you easily make markdown and treat #Markdown as #XML. Enjoy! github.com/StartAutomat...

Seriously asking: Who wants a secure rapid #webdev #repl environment ? Some recent experiments may be released from the lab. #PowerShell #Cybersecurity #FYI
