Win a Copy of Lee Holmes"™ Books This Thursday

O"™Reilly was kind enough to provide us with several copies of both Windows PowerShell Cookbook, and Windows PowerShell Pocket Reference to give away on the show. We"™ll give away one or two during this Thursday"™s PowerScripting Live event (at 8pm this week instead of the usual 9pm), and we may save some to give away to those aren"™t able to watch the live stream.

So please join us this Thursday and ask questions of Lee Holmes and you may win one of his books!

Episode 48 / PowerScripting Live at 8pm This Thursday

Note that our normal time has moved back one hour to accommodate our esteemed guest. I just created an event on Facebook which you can add to your profile. Please RSVP that way if you plan on attending, we appreciate the metrics just for our own information, and it helps raise the buzz if you know what we mean.

thanks!
