I got a request few weeks ago. Reporting virtual machines that powered off more than 3 days. I didn’t find out-of-box report in vROps can do that. I had to create customized one. Following is how I did.
整合PowerCLI与PowerShell
早先我有写一篇文章关于如何手工整合PowerCLI和PowerShell。最近重装了系统，不得不再做一次。以前我习惯用PowerGUI写脚本，但不知道怎么搞的PowerGUI总是丢失菜单界面，这困扰了我很久一直没办法完全解决，所以这次我在想能不能把PowerCLI和PowerShell整合了一劳永逸，毕竟内置的好用一些啊。
Add Language Switcher in Posts Page Automatically by WordPress plugin Polylang
If you are multi-language IT Pro you may want to show articles in multiple languages just like me. I use Polylang in my blog to switch English and Chinese version. I used to add “Language Switcher” tag in my articles. It’s manual process that I had to remember the tag in somewhere, copy and past it to articles when I was writing. It’s frustration to repeat it in every article. Another problem was I have to add “Read More” tag in each article before I add “Language Switcher” tag.

But it requests modify policy, it may impacts global calculation. What if your teams request different criteria for reports?

Power Raspberry Pi by Portable Chargers
I want to try make a remote control car by Raspberry Pi. The first question is how to power a portable Raspberry Pi? There are lot of solutions in internet. I want to find a simple, cheap and long battery life solution. Some articles introduced power bank but it overs $100 and only provides 5v output. I need some thing can provide not only 5v power for Raspberry Pi, but also more than 7v for L298N.
