  • RE: Who Inspires You?

    I was inspired by Dr Richard Mitchell at the University of Brighton when I studied there (it was called something different then). He was interested in developing quality, maintainable software...

  • RE: Copy a file from each subdirectory to one folder

    :unsure:

    It is easy to convert:

    $a = Some-CommandA

    Write-Host $a

    $b = Some-CommandB $a

    Write-Host $b

    $c = Some-CommandC $b

    Write-Host $c

  • RE: Dream Jobs

    Some people bail quickly. Very quickly.

    Most people try and give a position a chance to improve. Some people are more optimistic than others or are, perhaps, less confident in themselves...

  • RE: Copy a file from each subdirectory to one folder

    Sorry Erik, I saw this on the mobile but you had figured it out by the time I have reached the desktop.

    For those who will read this post and cannot...

  • RE: Dream Jobs
