Up Next: Lance Robinson from /n software

We"™ve had someone from /n software on the show before, but it was quite some time ago. Lance is also a pretty PowerShell prolific blogger who should have some cool stuff to talk about in addition to what he is working on at /n.

Here is his bio:

“I’ve been with /n software since 2001, when I started as the Developer Support Manager, assisting software developers with the use of our Internet development components using various programming languages. Eventually I moved into my current role as Product Manager, organizing developers and overseeing API design and testing.  Through my blog (www.lancerobinson.net) and twitter (twitter.com/lmrobins), I share a lot of cool things I stumble across as well as information about the wide range of /n software products.”
