reviewing a pr in the #PowerShell repo go to build it locally & test it out think why's this not built as expected 3 rebuilds later after some param changes 💡💡💡realise that I hadn't checked out the branch & was rebuilding the master branch 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️

When The Defaults Are Wrong - hugo edition
First up a shout out to Abel Wang Abel Wang, was one of many of the tech industry, sadly no longer with us, who rightly pushed the #DontAcceptTheDefaults movement as plenty of times the defaults don’t...

Woke up at 7pm UK time cos I'm a night 🦉 Decided delve deep into adding a new parameter to #PowerShell Almost, almost got it all working as I want it. Yet I really doubt this will end up in the main repo But a fun task to dig into
Thank you @bsky.app for not being the steaming 💩 that X has decided to be by deleting the Dim Dark mode setting. Because nothing is ever Black or White & platforms like this really do need a middle ground. It'd be nice for users to have the option to put their own custom CSS for the theme though
Blogged: Uni Update 😒 Not what I wanted to be blogging about tbh but my time at Derby Uni came to an end recently What happens from here eh.....? blog.kilasuit.org/2026/07/04/u...
Uni Update 😒
The Final Uni Update (maybe) I’m sad to be writing this, however it seems like my time at Derby University isn’t going to continue. At least at this current time. This is for fundamentally a series of...

Hey @markrussinovich.bsky.social please give @steve--lee.bsky.social more funds towards headcount as there's lots that the PowerShell community need from the PowerShell team and from my perspective they've been under funded for too long now Happy to have a chat with you directly on this
hey @psconf.eu can you please make sure all the videos are added to the 2026 playlist as many of the most recent ones aren't added yet. kThnkxBye
Really fed up with #Hugo now & hosting my blogs on #Cloudflare as things have broken that should not have done. So yet again I'm going to be rebuilding my blog and working out where I'm gonna be hosting it. Something that really I did not want to be having to spend time on tbh

Yeah common #Phising tactic This isn't something any legit service would ever do
Has anyone ever seen this? A supposed verification window that wants you to paste an extremely suspicious URL into terminal....
Looks like I'm going to be saying bye bye to Derby Uni & studying there due to health hurting my attendance this year. So much fun to work out WTAF I do from here on in to actually properly continue living. So does anyone in #PowerShell world wanna actually give me a work from home job at all?
Great to see @tylerleonhardt.dev presenting at #Build
Quote from #Build "The 4 day work week is happening in the @vscode.dev team actively"
Lots of interesting things being shared at both @psconf.eu #PSConfEU & #Build (thought for me the #PowerShell stuff is 10x more important 😜) Thanks to all people tweeting/skeeting & posting on LinkedIn about all the new hotness coming out.
Happy Easter Saturday everyone! Also a Happy 36th Birthday to me & a 51st to @microsoft.com I've spent the day trying to work out how I really get back up again properly. And it's not pretty. but it is what it is

Hey @discord.com what's the point in Requesting a manual review (under 64551722) to just close the request via what looks to be an automated response. Especially as I recommended the use of a tried and tested UK Government service & one that does not share an image file either. Do better!
FYI incase you missed this from @jasonhelmick.bsky.social around the delays for #PowerShell 7.6.0 (looking at you @awakecoding.com 😉) devblogs.microsoft.com/powershell/p...
PowerShell 7.6 release postmortem and investments - PowerShell Team
This post shares context on the delayed timing of the PowerShell 7.6 release, our learnings, and the changes the team has already begun making to improve release predictability and transparency.
devblogs.microsoft.com
PowerShell 7.6 (LTS) is here — built on .NET 10 with cleaner native command handling, sharper tab completion, new intrinsic aliases (PSForEach, PSWhere), and module upgrades across PSReadLine, PSResourceGet, and ThreadJob. A tidy, reliable release. Blog: ift.tt/znSg4fc
Why not something different And this'll be something I come back to and expand a bit more in the future too (like every other #YetAnotherRyanProject) blog.kilasuit.org/2026/03/20/m...

Some of the bits that I've been quietly working on are coming together quite nicely even if there's been lots of work needed in the background to get to this point
Sometime between now & April 4th, the new PowerShell.org.uk website will be deployed & oh it will be a great site that will look to showcase all things PowerShell in/from the UK & show you all what a really simple, but effective & accessible site can be. This is a promise by @blog.kilasuit.org
I have an in progress website called Days Since Pizza & am wanting pizza like most days So it must be a sign that the Just Eat Credit I have & the £4.36 I have left in the bank is exact the right amount for a pizza from the takeaway around the corner But do I get pizza today or hold off instead. 🤔
10 years ago today I was lucky to chat in person with @robsewell.com at SQL Saturday Exeter & plenty of others after delivering a back to back session on using #PowerShell #DSC for #SQLServer How time flies eh.
