This Thursday: Steven Murawski talks about PowerShellCommunity.org and More!

From his website:

I"™m the Director for Research and Development for ProPhoenix, a public safety software company. This position allows me to investigate new and existing technologies and incorporate them into our product line, with the end goal being to help public safety agencies to do their jobs more efficiently and safely.
I"™m an advocate for PowerShell, as I believe it encourages administrative best practices and allows developers to provide additional access to their applications, without needing to explicitly write code for each administrative feature. Part of my advocacy for PowerShell includes my blog, appearances on various podcasts, and acting as a Community Director for PowerShellCommunity.Org
I"™m also a co-host of Mind of Root (a weekly audio podcast about systems administration, tech news, and topics).  We stream our show live on UStream.tv on Wednesday evening at 8:30 PM CST.

Tonight"™s Guest: Clint Huffman

Originally from Dayton, OH. Clint joined Microsoft in 1999 supporting web technologies, Microsoft load testing tools, and later worked as a Testing Consultant helping people with load testing at the Microsoft Services Labs. There he found a passion for solving Windows performance issues. In 2006, he joined Microsoft Premier Field Engineering (PFE) team to take on BizTalk performance issues only to find that most issues could be diagnosed by analyzing operating system resources. Some may say that performance analysis of Windows is more of an art than a science. Well, Clint strives to make it as much of a science as possible and to bring it to the masses. Clint is probably best known for the Performance Analysis of Logs (PAL) tool, which simplifies the analysis of performance monitor logs. He is an author of many of the BizTalk performance guides on MSDN and recently spoke at Tech Ed 2008 on BizTalk performance analysis. He currently lives in Marysville, WA which is about 40 miles north of Seattle.
