Did you know PowerShell can use Selenium?

By Joel 'Jaykul' Bennett on 05-Jan-2012

This is sort-of a place-holder for a full-length post that I really ought to write about driving web testing from PowerShell using Selenium. I actually have a little module around for doing that with WaTiN, but honestly the Selenium project seems to be a lot more active, and has quite a bit of muscle behind [...]

Convert Twitter users into FriendFeed Imaginary Friends!

By Joel 'Jaykul' Bennett on 16-May-2009

By Joel 'Jaykul' Bennett on 11-Mar-2009

Window GUI Automation from PowerShell

By Joel 'Jaykul' Bennett on 20-Dec-2007

Well, I am going to put this all on CodePlex tomorrow, but I promised a few people that I’d throw it up here for them yesterday, so I figured it’s past time to post it … without further ado. The Window Automation Snapin and it’s source should be downloaded from the CodePlex project where updates [...]

About Huddled Masses

This is web site is dedicated to the musings of Joel Bennett (aka Jaykul) about technology, software, software development, the web, and the world.

Any resemblance of the views expressed and the views of my employer, my terminal, or the view out my window are purely coincidental. The resemblance between them and my own views is non-deterministic. The question of the existence of views in the absence of anyone to hold them is left as an exercise for the reader.

P.S.: I occasionally link to things I think are great. When I do, I occasionally find a "referral code" so I can make a little cash. I promise that I don't link to anything just because of that cash (I wouldn't cross the street for the amount of cash those links bring in, never mind write a whole blog post) ... but I do not promise that things I link to will stay great as time passes, nor that you will agree with me about their greatness!
