• Spoiled Milk ApS > Blog » HTML5: Changing the browser-URL without refreshing page

  "An often overlooked feature of HTML5 is the new “onpopstate” event.
  
  This new feature offers you a way to change the URL displayed in the browser* through javascript without reloading the page. It will also create a back-button event and you even have a state object you can interact with.
  
  This means you won’t have to use the hash-hack anymore if you want add state to your AJAX-application, and search engines will be able to index your pages too."

• PowerShell Tip: Formatting Output

  "In PowerShell everything is a .NET object, each with a variety of different properties. You'll notice that most of the time the output you see from basic commands only gives you a small subset of what's available. This is because PowerShell has built-in rules for how and what to display for most of the standard objects. Usually this is done so that you normally only see what's most important and aren't overwhelmed with too much data. For example, the dir command returns a set of FileSystemInfo objects but only shows you a few of the 20+ properties that are available."
