Sebastian, Beer with lemon

In this document we will see two things, one we will learn how to use Wunderlist by command line to add items to our task lists, shopping… and then through our voice we can indicate to a Raspberry Pi that is listening with a microphone to add these items to us. I base myself on an example that I have in the kitchen, than when we want to add something to the shopping list, We tell you!

NirCmd – Old tool for automating tasks

Today I put you a utility that this week has saved me from a rather curious task, it turns out that in a client I had to correct something in X users, We don't know how to automate the task since it's not modifying a registry key, cannot be done by command, Not even GPO, etc… and requires user intervention. So curiously I found a tool that among many functionalities it has, One of them is to send key combinations to the screen, so we can open an app & send him the keyboard shortcuts we need to check an option.

Using PowerGUI and its PowerPacks

PowerGUI is one of the best free tools, especially for those of us who work with PowerShell environments and still do not feel comfortable, it is a graphic tool that allows us to create, edit, import, export our Windows PowerShell-based scripts. In this document we will see how to install it that has nothing and how we can organize our scripts, as well as being able to see how to use scripts for VMware, Exchange, Active Directory, SQL, Routers, communications, Internet, Systems Center, Operations Manager, Xen, Hyper-V, Citrix, Skype, Reporting, Twitter … everything that relies on PowerShell.

Script to run when you're on Citrix or Terminal Server but not on-premises (or vice versa)

Although it may seem a bit simple, I'm forced to have to post this, since many people have asked me for it and to put it here… How is it free… 😉 Well, is as simple as a script that will be executed at the login login of the users of our Active Directory, through policies or GPOs. There are many times that we want users to run a certain script when they're on Citrix but not when they're on-premises, or the other way around 😉 when they are in the local that they execute a certain script, but when they are in Citrix or Terminal Services they are not.
