VPN Count Dashboard Example

Python and Gtk code to reduce file size and resize images for web usage.
I needed a tool for my wife to resize images for her blog and I found one called Trimage. I wasn’t much fond of it so I wrote my own, it’s fast and stable for only a days worth of coding. To run the code directly you’ll need GObject and PIL, you might want Pillow […]

Restful Server In PowerShell
I know I have been focused on PowerShell but I have down time and wanted to play since our shop seems to love it so much. I think I am going to do some other posts, maybe Node or something, because PowerShell is boring. I am building a dashboard so I was playing with PowerShell […]
Classes in PowerShell
I’ve noticed that a lot of admins learning PowerShell tend to use global variables and pass things around to functions, if they use functions at all. Sometimes all you need are classes to make things cleaner and easier to manage. Classes can be intimidating to newer developers or folks who only write occasionally for admin […]
Coin flip in PowerShell, GUI version.
Need to make a decision, like to bet, maybe you just like silly apps? Whatever the reason you’re reading this I hope it helps someone to learn some simple GUI tricks in PowerShell. I didn’t spend a lot of time on this. I already wrote one in C# years ago and had some downtime so […]
