I am starting to like Powershell

I am trying to switch from using the old command line programs like ping, ipconfig and netstat. One thing Microsoft got right was passing objects when using pipelining. Linux uses text and that is not good. I dont want to try to get some information out of text output. It could break if the output format is changed. There is now even powershell for linux, but sadly it has few cmdlets. It was nice to see that powershell can do the same thing as tail with the command “Get-Content -Tail 30 -Wait”. Test-NetConnection can do the same thing as ping and it can also try to connect to TCP ports.

Good that we dont have to see any first of April jokes from Google

Jokes are only funny if they are racist or degrading for women.

“We’ve already stopped any centralized April Fool’s efforts but realize there may be smaller projects within teams that we don’t know about,” the email from Google’s head of marketing Lorraine Twohill continues. “Please suss out those efforts and make sure your teams pause on any jokes they may have planned — internally or externally.”
