I’ve needed to access the maths functions in .NET for a few things recently and finally decided to create functions for the ones I use all the time. I’ve started with 3 functions and put them into a module. The good thing about this is that I can easily load them dynamically and any other […]
I have been a fan of the PowerGUI editor since it was first in beta but one thing has been consistently annoying. I don’t like the way is sets itself as the default editor for PowerShell files and blocks changes to this unless you go into the registry and kill the keys it has set. […]
