I recently saw a post by Jakub Jares on testing self-contained scripts with Pester [http://jakubjares.com/2019/06/09/2019-07-testing-whole-scripts/]. He suggests, essentially, hijacking the call to any functions, dot-sourcing the script, and then removing the hijack (an alias, in this case). We do something similar at work to

So, I bought a Badgy [https://github.com/sqfmi/badgy]! It seemed like something interesting and fun, vaguely related to my previous projects converting old Kindle screens into low-power ToDo lists, and I'd have something amusing to take to at least one convention and geek out about. I

I had a lovely ride with my friend Elaine today, though we got a bit lost. Seems like Strava crashed at some point, as Elaine tracked us as having gone 45 miles, not ~42.

After a few days tussling with the out of date walkthroughs Amazon provide for developing Alexa Skills, I was happy to get this working: ...now I've just got to get something useful to other people working.

After seeing this amazing thread [https://www.reddit.com/r/PowerShell/comments/52xv55/what_were_you_surprised_that_powershell_could_do/] , I had a quick think about the problem mentioned here [https://www.reddit.com/r/PowerShell/comments/52xv55/what_were_you_surprised_that_powershell_could_do/d7ookpe] . > I

I was just running a delightful batch script written by Jason Faulkner [http://www.howtogeek.com/50356/batch-script-to-auto-update-sysinternals-tools/] to update my SysInternals tools directory. It was taking forever! At least 2 seconds per tool (regardless of state), and a huge chunk of time to download the current tool list. It

Was just going to re-enable NPAPI plugins in Chrome, and I found this: Now that's cool! Slightly weirdly, I love exploring the about:flags page in Chrome (Canary, or otherwise) and finding things in various stages of development - and I always loved the functionality that allowed you

Nice ride! Managed to miss my Dad at Gransden, Orwell, and Barrington, but otherwise lovely. Also to note: The Royal Oak in Barrington stops serving drinks at 15:00. What the what!?

Watch live video from Jinoxide on TwitchTV [http://www.twitch.tv/jinoxide] I've been playing plenty of Payday 2 with the Playstuff [http://www.playstuff.net] gang recently - it's in vogue, after some great updates, publicity and trailers. Anyway, I thought I'd stream

I've quite enjoying Watch_Dogs, playing it a little every few nights - it's not the new best thing since sliced bread, but it's quite interesting. I'm slightly disappointed by a lot of things in it - punishing damage in gunfights mixed

Wow. That's awesome.

DJ Konsky's Hottest Hits Of 2013 Mashup [http://vimeo.com/80533660] from Brett W. [http://vimeo.com/user23057946] on Vimeo [https://vimeo.com]. Quite good fun. Some recent controversy about some-guy-I-can't-remember trying to pass the video off as his own.

Thanks to Fergus for putting up with me - turns out, I'm awful at hills. I had a lot of fun, though, and was convinced of the necessity of cycling gear. I was going to get one of the r/Cycling [http://cycling.reddit.com] jerseys, but shipping

Weight = Some To this end, do I really need a wi-fi enabled weighing scale? This simple-looking device will apparently do interesting things like "recognise me", and "weigh me", and "wirelessly upload my current weight and fat/body ratio to the vast pool of data known

Mashups, mixes, and more - Soundcloud hosts a bizarre amount of great music, and pops up in a lot of the places I go searching for streamable tracks at odd times. My account on Soundcloud is Jinoxide [https://soundcloud.com/jinoxide], and I occassionally reshare or like stuff - here&
