Just letting everyone on x/Twitter know that there's a new version of the #powershell #websocket module.

It's a great way to get a #realtime view of what's going on BlueSky (and, if X ever makes a free WebSocket available, it should support that, too)

I'll bite... what are you building?

@RickStrahl I have a dozen of those. I try to be rid of cords where I have more than 10, or their effective use has been dead for about 10 years.

Cables can get expensive. Throwing out all of the Firewire cables I will never use again reminded me how much I paid in the first place.

Want a #CSS #Color #Palette for your website?

Want it to match your #PowerShell, #xterm, #WindowsTerminal, or #VSCode?

We've got 336 of them and counting :-)

@s4rah_dev To be fair, Flash has been outdated for more than 3 years.

On the other hand, Cobol has been outdated for more than three decades, and yet people still use it, too.

Want to know who checks in on a Friday?

1. Install ugit

https://t.co/ohyJa0yqqr

2. cd into your repo
3. git log | ? { $_.CommitDate.DayOfWeek -eq 'Friday' }

git is much more useful when it returns #powershell objects!

[James Brundage @JamesBru]

@GithubProjects Agreed, in gist

https://t.co/nMgYMIgajB

(add a #PowerShell [ValidateScript] to ensure things can't ship on a Friday)

[James Brundage @JamesBru]

@guyrleech It doesn't scare me, but I have an Irregular bravery when it comes to Regex:

https://t.co/4aVgaj9ba3

From left to right:
Whitespace, fixed date, anything that happened between 10:37-10:38, match seconds, greedy whitespace, dash, greedy whitespace, and capture the rest.

Have been investigating some Ansible become problem and pushed a new version of my #PowerShell module ProcessEx https://t.co/CNMyepFdDx. Adds support for inline process calling and child policy restrictions.

[James Brundage @JamesBru]

@mkashman @Microsoft @MVPAward One would hope ;-)

I think socializing tools is at least as important as building them (though I'll admit I'm probably better at building them).

[James Brundage @JamesBru]

Which is your favorite #shell #scripting language, and why? #PowerShell or #Bash ?

[James Brundage @JamesBru]

@SamErde @awakecoding HelpOut does not depend on PlatyPS.

It also does things a few more things PlatyPS does not

1. Better Markdown generation
2. More customizability
3. Extensibility
4. Documenting Extended Types
