Live Spaces
My original blog was on Microsoft’s Live Spaces. I mirrored here and ran the two in tandem for a while. Live Spaces had an upgrade in the summer that caused all sorts of grief so I stopped using it.
Now it seems Live Spaces is pulling out of the blogging arena. All of the bloggers have the choice of migrating to Word Press or have their blog taken down in March 2011.
I’ve got too much back history in that blog so its moving to Word Press. It should keep the original URL so you can keep accessing it in the same old way.
Find you MAC address
One task I find myself doing on a regular basis is checking the physical address of a NIC. Ipconfig is OK but we have to wade through a lot of stuff. Much simpler to do this
Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_NetworkAdapter -ComputerName "." |
select Name, MACAddress
Produces a nicely formatted output and its quick to type
One cmdlet at a time
PowerShell MVP Jonathan Medd has compiled all of his blog posts on the new cmdlets in PowerShell 2.0 into a downloadable pdf file.
Hugely recommended as a reference to keep on your computer desk top.
