Can’t wait for us to ship PowerShell Remoting?

Want remoting to use SSH?

Why wait for us? /N software has just announced a beta of their NetCmdlets V2.0 which provides PowerShell remoting over SSH today! They’ve had this for a while and V2 updates (and improves) the usability of the cmdlets as well as adding a bunch of new and exciting commands.

For example, chances are that you won’t ever see Microsoft ship the [get/send]-s3 cmdlets but /N software V2 does.

My friend Richard has just launched his newest site: Tusconcomplete.com. The goal is to collect all the little tidbits of Tuscon in one place. Check it out, it is powered by my all time favorite open source Wiki software, DokuWiki.

Congrats on the site launch, good luck dude!

When it snows in Seattle, it’s a big deal.

I’ve been using Gmail since the invite only beta, my first received email was 6/15/04, and overall I have 8353 emails stored, which means that:

I am currently using 896 MB (19%) of 4647 MB.

Not bad, wish Google tracked the amount of spam I’ve gotten in that time frame. What does everyone else’s account look like?
