Windows 7 Cake Edition

Just over a week ago I passed what some may think of as a milestone birthday, and as I was on leave I thought that I had got away with it passing by unnoticed by those that I work with.  Well not quite as this afternoon I was presented with a cake, handmade by a colleague, that was undoubtedly the most apt design that anyone could have come up with…

Even the base was made of icing and had been done in the same design as the default Win7 background.  Oh, and it was delicious as well!

Big thanks to Cath for creating such a delicious logo!

PowerShell on an iPhone…almost!

I’ve been lucky enough to have been issued with an iPhone as a replacement for my HTC S740 Windows Mobile device.  I’m trying not to get too attached to it as it might be possible that someone may decide to pull rank on me and it may end up being reallocated as quickly as it arrived, but like most things Apple it’s a pretty nice device.  Anyway, since I’ve had it I have inevitably trawled the AppStore looking for useful applications to allow me to be more productive at work with my work supplied device.  So far..Lego Photo, BubbleWrap, AirCoaster, Sky News, Sky Sports Football Centre, Met Office Weather, Paper Toss and an app to turn my iPhone into a Star Wars light sabre….well, you get the idea.  But that was until yesterday when into my Inbox arrived an email from Sapien updating me on their products (I’ve used PrimalScript as my scripting environment for years and I’m yet to find anything better).  Lo and behold there’s a PowerShell app for the iPhone that contains full descriptions for all PS v1 cmdlets.  Installed it and it looks pretty good, and now I’m happier as I’m now doing something almost work-related on my new device.  Details on the app can be found here.
