I wanted to start my best-practices series…

I was trying to write the first real post for that series today, but I got really distracted, and instead …

Created a Virtual Launch Party for Lee Holmes’ 2nd Edition Windows PowerShell Cookbook
Updated my SharpSsh Module (which I wrote about ages ago in Scriptable SSH From PowerShell) to accept PSCredential objects or passwords, use CmdletBinding and have parameter set overrides
Updated my JSON Module to support Pipeline binding in ConvertFrom-Json and to call out the fact that it properly supports dynamic objects if you specify PSObject as the type.
Updated (and finally released) my Presentation module

Updated (and finally released) my PowerTest Module (it now has setup/teardown and supports filtering tests by name and category). This module needs it’s own blog post too, but you can get an idea what it’s about in the first hour of the Live Meeting recording of my Testing with PowerShell presentation.

Now that I mention all that stuff, there’s a few things from last week that bear mentioning too:

I wrote a sweet little function to wrap the LoreSoft.MathExpressions assembly, which lets you do all sorts of math inline in the PowerShell console.
I also updated my HttpRest module to work with the latest 2.1 release of MindTouch Dream

And if you haven’t seen them … the week before that I also

Published a function for invoking Generic Signature Methods from PowerShell which was something I had previously considered impossible.
Made some very nice updated to ConvertFrom-PropertyString which parses ini files and anything like that…
Published a trick for getting PowerShell.exe to run in .Net 4 and to allow PowerShell to load binary modules from network paths

Wrote a function to generate proxy wrappers for OData Services which was closely followed by a full PowerShell OData Module from Doug Finke

So, I’m giving myself a break.
