Interesting Finds – August 27, 2008

If you are a subscriber to my blog, you may have noticed that I have not been posting my more “Finds of the Week” in the last 2 months. Well, I was a little busy with the month-long Euro 2008 tournament in June, plus a couple of new games (Crysis and Medieval Total War II). Finally the Olympics in August finished me off.

I am going to turn this series into a periodic (as in longer than weekly :-)) Interesting Finds series from now on.

Oh, if you want to know… Crysis is ok. Very good graphics and requires a hot rod box but gameplay is just ok. I am more into realistic squad-based shooters. Medieval 2 is very addictive.

.NET, C#

Programming, General

PowerShell

  • I am finding more and more things I can do with PowerShell everyday. The other day I had to “touch” a file… two lines is what it takes:

    PS C:\Users\Cdo\AppData\Local\Temp> $f = ls testFile.txt
    PS C:\Users\Cdo\AppData\Local\Temp> $f.LastWriteTime = new-object System.DateTime 2007,12,31
    PS C:\Users\Cdo\AppData\Local\Temp> ls testFile.txt
    
    
        Directory: Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\FileSystem::C:\Users\Cdo\AppData\Local\Temp
    
    
    Mode                LastWriteTime     Length Name
    ----                -------------     ------ ----
    -a---        12/31/2007  12:00 AM          8 testFile.txt
    
    
    PS C:\Users\Cdo\AppData\Local\Temp>

Something Different

I occasionally blog about programming (.NET, Node.js, Java, PowerShell, React, Angular, JavaScript, etc), gadgets, etc. Follow me on Twitter for tips on those same topics. You can also find me on GitHub.
