RIP"“Andrew Tearle, the Oldest PowerSheller of Them All!

Andrew was one of our favorite listeners of the PowerScripting Podcast (and the first one to send feedback to the show), and we are sad to say his death was reported on his Twitter account yesterday:

We are sad to tell you, Andy “the most passionate Powersheller” passed away on 12th Jan 2011, and wanted us to say goodbye to you

That was very sweet that his family left that message to his online friends.
Here is a picture of Andrew and his wife, Sheila Rose, enjoying a drink in their garden in New Zealand.

Here"™s a snippet from an email Andrew sent to the show some time back:

Up Next: Jim Christopher Talks About StudioShell!

On tonight"™s show (1/13/11 @ 9:30pm EST right here on Ustream!), we"™ll be talking to Jim Christopher, aka @beefarino about his newest project: StudioShell. As you can read on his blog post announcement,

“StudioShell is a deeply integrated PowerShell host available inside of Visual Studio 2010 and 2008.  It”™s goal is to fundamentally change the way you interact with your IDE and your code. "

Giveaway and Discount Offer for Don Jones"™ New PowerShell Book!

As you might have heard, longtime author, speaker, trainer, and PowerShell MVP Don Jones is working on a new book project titled “Learn Windows PowerShell in a Month of Lunches”. The concept is a book to help the non-programmers out there to learn PowerShell in bite-sized chunks. It isn"™t due to be released until Summer of 2011, however, if you are in Manning"™s Early Access Program (MEAP), then you can take a look at the chapters as they are completed, and even give feedback to Don as he writes.

No Show Tonight!

Sorry folks, Jon and Hal need to take a night off, so no show tonight. We plan to pick up after Christmas with the next live show on the 30th. Our guest will be (provided he can reshcedule) James Brundage, formerly of the PowerShell team at Microsoft (there"™s a story there, we"™re sure). He"™s been doing some really cool things that we know you will enjoy hearing about.

Also, in January, it looks like we"™ll have someone on from the System Center team to talk about their PowerShell support, so stay tuned for that.
