To be clear is to be kind.

@rmbolger.bsky.social I'd love to chat through a couple of Posh-ACME related items if you'd be down for such a thing :)

#PowerShell is a programming language that happens to have a shell. And you can pry it from my cold, dead, fingers.

I finally stopped sitting on my hands and fixed an issues with my automatic packages repo and got things flowing properly again! Having room to breathe to pick up this low-hanging fruit is nice!

Registered for my first MVP Summit. I doubt the coolness of being able say that wears off, huh? #MVPBuzz

Why is it called an eggplant, when it’s not shaped like an egg? I ask myself as I eat a bowl of Rice Krispies pondering “why do they snap, crackle, pop?” Welcome to my brain on the weekend.

Fear will have you believe you're not good enough. Fear will attempt to rob you of the joy of trying that new thing because you think you can't. Fear is a liar. You *are* good enough, and can do things even when they're hard. So be enough and do incredible things. Be fearless. Happy Friday!

Hey! Did you know @chocolatey.org has extensions? They're just PowerShell modules, but they are a tremendously helpful tool for using choco! Wanna know why or how to make them, or some tips on using them? Register for next week's webinar where I teach you all that and more!

In the next release of WinUIShell, I'm sorting out multi-threaded event callbacks. This example shows three concurrent progress bars with a pause button for each: github.com/mdgrs-mei/Wi... I hope the code feels much easier than WPF in PowerShell🙏

Bought my niece a foam finger at the high school football game. She’s poked people ever since. Best $1 I’ve ever spent.

I’m not going to lie, this is pretty freakin cool

When does a script need a GUI, could a tool your building become a suite or a platform? How do you deliver your tools and who is the intended audience? I answer all this and more in this #PowerShell Wednesday session! www.youtube.com/watch?v=PE1h...

No puppies will be harmed during this session

Hey folks! I'm participating in a panel with my friends over at Raleigh #PowerShell User Group tomorrow evening. This is your chance to ask your most burning #pwsh questions. Nothing is off-limits! Join here: www.meetup.com/research-tri...

That’s a pretty freakin solid way to roll out of bed this morning.

Sliding into home plate with a last-minute @powershellsummit.org CFP Submission. 7 total, but most are duplicates with & without a co-presenter. You still have a bit of time. Get your ideas in. Let's help this coming #PowerShell Summit the best one yet!

If anyone needs me I’ll be watching the Buckeyes game

Merry Christmas! AutomatedLab UI v1.1.0 is now available! Full release notes at github.com/steviecoaste... Have fun building ephemeral Hyper-V labs in #PowerShell... via a web browser!

There is just about an hour left until we go live and discuss the different package types available in Chocolatey! There is a lot of good content to cram into today's webinar, and you can still register to attend! Visit ch0.co/webinar-regi... and we hope to see you there!

Every year I get a PSL on day one in hopes it’s good. Will today be the day? Time will tell…

I need to merge a couple of identical CSV files into one. It's pretty simple to do using #PowerShell, but it's more useful as a tool, so I wrote a Merge-Csv function. It solved a need for me, and I hope it solves one for you, too! Find the code below. Happy Scripting!

Do things that make someone/thing better. It's worth it.

You know you’re in Nashville when even the Walmart has a recording studio

Our swag game has increased. KCDC has been a blast! I hope to see you at our next event!!

Did you know Chocolatey has multiple package types, each designed for different use cases and deployment scenarios? Our next Unwrapping Chocolatey webinar will walk you through how to choose the right type for you. 📅 July 25 @ 12 PM EDT \ 4 PM UTC. 🎟️ Save your spot → mailchi.mp/ee5d5a1a4aa3...

Hey #PowerShell peeps! Did you miss @dotdot.horse awesome demo last week on how to make CertUtil.exe easier to use with PowerShell and #Crescendo ? You're in luck! The demo is up on YouTube! Enjoy! #PKI #Certificates www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAix...

Charlotte Douglas international airport is incapable of an on time flight

It's out! This release of AutomatedLab UI brings a lab definition builder, as well as the ability to start/stop labs and individual VMs within a lab. This is a BIG release and gets us SUPER close to this thing being *awesome*. Please check it out! github.com/steviecoaste...

Why is networking so god damn difficult to make *simple* for people! GAH

There is a new version of AutomatedLab UI coming. I’m just putting some final touches on this. I’m excited about this release. With it, I feel this will be a truly useful tool! #PowerShell Universal has made this so simple to put together!

Kiddo is on the golf team. She’s played so much golf one hand is more tan than the other from her glove 🤣🤣🤣

Do it. You have something valuable to add. Need help with a submission? My DMs are open.

Can we please, for all that is right and holy, just eliminate daylight savings time already? We invented our own daylight for when the sun goes to sleep. We don't need it now!

I made a couple of fixes early this morning, but my new toy, a #PowerShell Universal-based front end for AutomatedLab, is now on GitHub. Please try it out if you use AutomatedLab! There *are* warts, but I'm working on 'em. Feedback appreciated and welcome!

Happy Friday.

I've sorted out how to ship a #PowerShell Universal app as a module, which allowed me to put the app on a secondary test instance, and it *just friggin works* Tons of docs so people don't stub their toes. By the end of the weekend, y'all can play too! @adamdriscoll.bsky.social is a badass!!

If all you needed was a small agent to keep applications up to date on your work from home devices, would you do it? Want to know more? Head over to our website. We got your back! chocolatgey.org

@adamdriscoll.bsky.social I'm ready for folks to kick the tires on this AutomatedLab thing. But.....How do I share it? Just throw the .universal folder in a git repo? I'm gonna want to write some docs, etc.

I spent the weekend playing with two of my favorite tools to come up with something I think is really neat! Using #PowerShell Universal and AutomatedLab I've started a web-based management platform for my web environments. Super user-friendly way to interact with AutomatedLab!

Something shiny this way comes

WinUIShell v0.5.0 has been published including the XamlReader support. Now you can create a WinUI 3 window by loading XAML similar to WPF in PowerShell. github.com/mdgrs-mei/Wi... Next, a bit of multi-threading support and full API implementation using source generator.

I’m convinced that if you’ve run even 1 line of PowerShell you have a story to tell. You were trying to do or solve *something*. What was it? What went bad? Good? I’m not the only one who wants to know! Come tell your story. I’ll be standing in your corner the entire time. Need help? Just ask!

I’ve started a new project. Keeping it tight lipped for now in case it ends up being non-viable. But if it works out the way I intend it…..oh my.

The recording for my session presented to the London #PowerShell User Group is now LIVE on their Youtube channel. If you're interested in learning how to make modern, beautiful UIs for your scripts, you should check it out! Happy Scripting!

I am convinced time zones are Satan's way of preparing you for the eternal while still breathing air.

This was a super fun one!
