The European MCT Summit took place in January 2024 in Rijswijk, the Netherlands, just outside The Hague. There I gave a talk called “Broadcast Yourself”, in which I demonstrated how talks can be recorded independently with relatively simple means. How well those suggestions work can be checked directly using the recording of my own session.

The accompanying slide deck contains many links and detailed information on microphones, audio interfaces, adapters, and software. Many of the ideas can easily be applied to similar use cases.

This year the PowerShell Conference EU took place in Prague, Czech Republic, from 19 to 23 June. At the conference I presented my PowerShell implementation of the legendary Enigma cipher machines.

I recommend taking a look at the slides, which contain further information and many images covering the background — including Bletchley Park, the famous home of the English codebreakers during World War II.

The video includes hand-curated subtitles in German and English.

From 20 to 24 June 2022, the PowerShell Conference Europe (PSConfEU) took place in Vienna. After a two-year COVID-related absence, it was finally a long-awaited reunion of the “PowerShell community”. Unfortunately, Jeffrey Snover was also missing — he had just announced his departure from Microsoft in those very days.

Session 1: “Chasing the seconds 2.0: Functions done right” (PSConfEU 2022)

Session 2: “about_VideoProcessing” (PSConfEU 2022)

I delivered a session about the AppInstaller/CLI aka WinGet for the Dutch PowerShell UserGroup (DuPSUG) in April 2022.

You will find the mentioned interview with Keivan Beigi in any podcatcher app and also on the Sliding Windows website (slidingwindows.de).

Code examples and slides are available in the Github repo.

On 21 January I gave a talk at the PowerShell Usergroup about the background — and the dark corners — of Microsoft’s AppInstaller/WinGet application.
