Interface Blogs

ok, so I'm not a really fun guy to party with.  So says my friends, when all I did this weekend was drink beer and play with PowerShell.  In fact, I wanted to share my experience so badly with PowerShell so far that I forced myself to stop drinking, sober-up and make a few video-blogs.

What are video-blogs?  Well, when I'm lonely and sitting in the dark at home, I love to watch the webcasts that the scripting guys have at www.scriptingguys.com.  I was sitting back last Friday watching the webcasts on PowerShell that they just published from the PowerShell week, again with beer and sitting in the dark, when an idea popped into my head.  "Why, by George (I don't know who George is but....) I think I'll make a webcast about my experiences with PowerShell!"  This seemed to be a wonderful idea, so I preceded to make a few webcasts if your interested.

First I did one to help everyone get it downloaded and installed called "Installing PowerShell".  Its a great place to start. 

The second one I did is based on my love of PrimalScript by Sapien.  They just released there new version 4.1 and it includes everything you need for Powershell.

Well, things were going just great.....I had gotten PowerShell to install, ran a few cmdlet's and life was good.  I went out to the script repository on the scripting guys website and snagged a few scripts to test PowerShell, when suddenly I was horrified.  Thats right boy's and girls, I was horrified.  I guess the good folks at Microsoft decided to build in security to PowerShell.  The kind of really hard security that prevents hackers from sending me malicious scripts like they did with VBScript.  Half wasted and running out of beer, I had to find a solution fast........well.........The third video-blog shows you how to change the security policy so you can start running your scripts.

Let me know if they were helpful, or if you have any ideas for other video-blogs.  I'm going to make some more on using cmdlets and on the new scripting language.  I'll let you know if I find anything cool.

Since its almost "Turkey" day, I'm sure I will find myself again lonely, in the dark, and with beer, working on PowerShell, so I'll make some more video-blogs.
