I have just finished watching a really good tutorial on how to create PowerPacks in PowerGUI.
This gives you a great insight into what can be done with PowerGUI and has given me a few ideas of my own ;)

/n Software NetCmdlets
I saw yesterday (via Marco Shaw) that /n Software are now offering a hobbyist license for their NetCmdlets. Which is available here.
I tried to download them yesterday, and was prompted for my Credit Card details, so I cancelled the transaction. After having a look today, things went a lot smoother. So smooth in fact that I managed to navigate through the whole transaction without actually getting the product! Apparently I managed to not provide any information and received an Order number:
The order data has been sent to our order desk. Your order confirmation number is ****** . Please save this number for future reference.
What happens next is anyone’s guess. Seeing as they don’t have my email address or any other information it would appear I managed to glide through the process too easily. ;)
To be fair I think the process allowed me to progress without providing any Shipping information, as it had a tick box for “same as billing information”.
I’ve since stepped through the process again, but provided details under the shipping page, so I guess we’ll see.
Anyway, well done to /n Software for lettings us play with their product. Something else to add to my To Do list!
Tools and News
I know things have been a bit quiet lately. I’m in the middle of moving my family back to Australia so as you can imagine it’s a bit manic!
I’ve been hearing good things about PowerShell Plus for a while now, most recently from Richard. It’s definitely on my list of things to play with. I just need to find more play time!!
You may recall that I got to see a demo of SpecOps Command, and had access to an early preview. Unfortunately I didn’t get past installing it to really have a play. I believe this application is really going to have a big impact on PowerShell, and it would appear Jeffrey is of the same opinion! Well done to Magnus, Thorbjorn and everyone at SpecOps for going RTM.
When I started this blog, I kept the default theme from WordPress, with the view of worrying about the content rather than the look. Most people seem to read the content via RSS, so that’s been fine. I’m not going to change the focus, but I’m going to revamp the website, update the toolbox and example code and generally give everything an uplift for the New Year.
I’m also aware that posts have lacked the technical content that I want them to have lately. So over the next few weeks I plan on getting a lot more interesting posts up.
Watch this space ;)
