People are pretty unhappy with the current administration in Madison.

I'll be doing a short presentation on PowerShell Universal this Friday as part of the xenappblog.com virtual expo. xenappblog.com/agenda/

Added DataGrid example in GliderUI v0.1.0. github.com/mdgrs-mei/Gl... Out-GridView on macOS returns again😁?

Feeling like the end of winter up in northern Wisconsin.

I used to binge Walker Texas Ranger as a kid. I wish that when I did pushups, I would push the world down rather than push myself up.

I like some of these words. Let's see what actually happens. blogs.windows.com/windows-insi...

This is pretty awesome haha . www.cringebot3000.com

So happy 7.6 is out, so everyone can take advantage of the excellent Invoke-RestMethod tracing that now exists that I wrote :). I'm already using it today to troubleshoot some OCI stuff:

My standing desk is close to a ledge and managed to slide over the top and I lowered it in a way that it went sideways and sent everything tumbling. Looks like it’s new monitor time.

What's the number one thing you wish UniGetUI could do? 🪄

Post work ski on the Brule River! Super soft after some rain and warm temps. Very beautiful out there though.

#PowerShell 7.6 is released! Note: It's only available via GitHub or as a .NET tool installation for now. Keep an eye on WinGet and the Microsoft Store! 💫 github.com/PowerShell/P...

The last couple of weeks I put together my own productivity app. I can track projects, tasks, and habits. It understands my location and “learns” stuff about me. It also has an AI agent and chat that makes suggestions everyday.

Some of the best ski conditions of the year! + Bonus sunset

Austin has a new enemy

I decided to rename my module. Now it's called "GliderUI": github.com/mdgrs-mei/Gl... Cross-platform desktop GUI framework for #PowerShell built using Avalonia. - Runs on Windows, macOS and Linux - You can build GUIs by code or XAML - No more freezing GUIs

This is actually crazy. All the highways in central WI are closed. All highways in the northern 2/3 of the state have a travel not advised tag on them.

Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet 1.2.0 has been officially released with lots of bug fixes and improvements! See the release notes on the PowerShell Gallery. www.powershellgallery.com/packages/Mic...

Here we go!

In other news....

Is there some grand conspiracy that prevents the common man from simply editing PDFs? Sure, you can buy Adobe or Foxit, but why? Is it really hard so then when it's done it's worth building a company around it? There are a lot of sketchy sites that claim it but doesn't seem like a solved problem.

Messing around with a C# Source Generator for PowerShell cmdlets. You can use it to create .NET classes based on PowerShell cmdlets and invoke them like classes. github.com/adamdriscoll...

I published a PowerShell Universal agent skill for getting a fresh, sandboxed instance up and running. You can also get it to clone in the demo repo so you have a lot of examples to work with. github.com/Devolutions/...

If we could just raise sea levels by 150 meters we get a backup Strait of Hormuz

We spent some time working on PowerShell Universal skills. My favorite is the install-sandbox-psu that gets a PSU instance running in an isolated folder and port for quick testing.

Not how Austin wanted to spend his day.

Woo hoo! .NET 11 Preview 2 is out! devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/dotne... #MVPBuzz

Potential for some intense weather today. Big tornado, wind and hail risk.

You can use method parameters in PowerShell Universal endpoints to help PowerShell determine which parameter set to call when invoking endpoints that accept multiple HTTP Methods. docs.powershelluniversal.com/api/endpoint...

My dog cut his ear and was just shaking blood all around the house until we noticed. This is the second time in a week he’s injured himself. I don’t even know what he managed to do.

Crazy warm today! First day in the saddle outside this year! strava.app.link/GBaFFqywn1b

I guess if you’re gonna have a cyber truck, just lean into it.

What if you could script cross-platform desktop GUIs in #PowerShell using Avalonia UI instead of WinForms? AvaloniaUIShell by @mdgrs.bsky.social just came out, and it's the real deal! Try it now: github.com/mdgrs-mei/Av...

Amazon is getting really good at shipping. Did you know they can deliver in the PAST?

well, I think we've got something here. let's startup hook PowerShell to get stuff everyone wanted for years:

We’re in Calumet, MI for my wife’s ski race. They got nearly 300 inches of snow this year! It’s pretty warm but going to take awhile for it to melt.

Rob Holt made a new Turbocharged #PowerShell script analysis engine called Specter, and I packaged it as a #vscode extension. Check it out!

The new home for my PowerShell Universal demo environment is @devolutions.net. I'll continue to add new updates as features are added. Great starting point and examples of a lot of what PSU does. github.com/Devolutions/...

I've been leaning hard into Claude recently. If you can provide the right context and instructions, it really can just build what you've been planning. You save so much time typing. I still need to review and tweak things, but I even end up with a much better set of test cases.

Last ski of the year for me at Mt Ashwabay! 45 degrees today. Base is still good but we are losing snow fast and is it slow.

Severe weather chances will increase this week. A level 2 out of 5 risk (Slight) is currently forecast from Wednesday to Saturday. Forecast specifics remain uncertain, but an extended period of active severe weather appears likely. Visit weather.gov for updates.

Headed to the northwoods to try to sneak in one last week of skiing before it warms up.
