No Show Tonight!
12 05 2011Sorry guys and gals, we have to reschedule tonight’s podcast because SOMEBODY didn’t buy a SOMETHING which caused THIS OTHER THING to not work during a UNSPECIFIED BAD THING which meant that Hal is stuck at work all evening cleaning up the mess.
Oh, and Jon’s busy too.
Don’t worry, we shall reschedule tonight’s guest from /n Software because I know we all want to see what cool PowerShelly stuff those guys are working on.
See you next Thursday @ 9:30pm EDT on Ustream!

Chatroom Buzz:
[21:54] <+DanielCruz> I learned a TON from comments.
[22:01] <+DonJonesMVP> Given that the folks in the chat room are some of the net’s biggest voices on PowerShell (blog, Twitter, etc), it’d be nice to hear what some of the biggest BOOs were in the Games. What did people consistently just not get? Because those are the things we need to get the word out about.
