At home my primary machine is a desktop running Windows (I’m a gamer) but my laptop that I use for travel and other stuff runs Linux. I had been surviving on a basic copy-my-music-to-Linux configuration and never bothered to create the playlists. It’s exceedingly annoying that there is no feature to export all of your […]
I recently converted an archaic setup to a more modern, automated process. We had a Powershell script that one person would run on their workstation to update a DB that held all of our Citrix servers that Ansible would query for host information. Rather than keep a static host file that needed to be updated […]
I had been searching for an easy solution to combine a video file with it’s separate audio file but simply Googling that gives a bunch of results that require downloading software from questionable places. I then had the idea to find out if it was possible with FFMPEG (a lot of software uses it anyway). […]
Occasionally I get installers from vendors that just don’t play nice. OK… maybe it’s more than occasionally… Often it’s in the form of not having any parameters to do a nice, silent install and other times it’s one little quirky thing. Today that one thing was the uninstall of an MSI that forced a reboot […]
I always love when I’m asked at work to do the maximum imaginable result with the least amount of resources. It’s like being asked to move a mountain and handed a single rope. While not impossible (you could do it in many trips with the rope tied to chunks), it does make you wonder, while […]
A coworker pinged me the other day needing help with a short script he was running on a C# web page. He was pulling worker group information from Citrix and wanted to sort them based off of the number of servers in each worker group. There isn’t a property on the object returned from Get-XAWorkergroup […]
I learned something new last Friday as well as had another idea driven home again. I like it when that happens. It’s odd to learn something yet periodically “realize” it all over again when life has need of that lesson. I started working again on a scripting promise I made a while ago about sharing […]
Update 5-27-17 — This wont work with Seasons 19 and after as they have removed the download link from each episode page. Also, Revision3 no longer exists (got folded into Seeker, whatever that is), so who knows how long the older episodes from 1-18 will continue to exist. The actual download mp4 files were/are hosted […]
While planning to develop some scripts that would be meant for others to use I had a need to implement a timeout when asking for input (and to go with a default value). I didn’t think it had a timeout, but I looked at the documentation on read-host anyway and sure enough, no timeout. I […]
It’s funny how I can write code and then a long time afterwards need to write something for the same goal and come up with it in an easier way. It makes sense, since I’ve likely learned more and grown in the time that has passed. Still, to look back on the old cold and […]
