Live PowerShell With Karl Prosser

So I came home and wanted to make sure that everything would go smooth for ringing into the PowerScripting Podcast.

1) The first thing I did was go to plug in my cell phone charger, however I plugged it into a dodgy outlet that the landlord was meant to have replaced months ago. We’ll I haven’t been electrocuted that bad since the time in China when I jumped out of the bath, and came in contact with live wires. Thankfully i’m all ok, but half of metal of charger plug is gone. It was quite odd, it looked like a spark that flew out, but stayed bright for like 10 seconds. It must have been heated up melted metal.

2) Second thing i managed to do was lock myself in a room, with little kids in the other part of the house, while my wife was out. Anyhow during the podcast (after i managed to get on it since i had given the hosts the wrong area code of my phone number) I managed to pick my way out with a sewing measuring tape. But maybe i should have just stayed there because the third thing takes the cake.

3)So it was time to go and pick my daughter up from “Daisies”. I got in our minivan , pulled a perfect u turn off at the end of the street, then I saw our cat run up a tree and wanted to grab it. So I pulled up abruptly put the van in park, then jumped out quickly with the engine still running, HOWEVER IT WASN’T IN PARK BUT IN REVERSE So there was my van driving itself backwards down the street. I had to run after it, and after a brief attempt to stop it with my brute force, i jumped in and put the break on.

Finally i read a comment on the podcast ustream chat that the hosts may have lost the whole interview. Sounds like a true Wacky Wednesday .

I just thank God that i’m alive, and not hurt, and that i still have a complete car and our neighbours still have complete houses.
