Given the boredom of social distancing and keeping to ones self I’ve found that searching out various public art on the North Shore in British Columbia Canada has been interesting. Here are a few of the recent pictures of taken of these.
Another week. Another park. This one a little to busy to stick around at for too long in this day and age but I still got a few nice pictures before high tailing it out of there.
This time it’s Whytecliff park, which is featured in many movies and television series shot in British Columbia.
I am very lucky to live in the Province that I do in Canada. We have some of the most amazing places that you can visit in nature. A few days ago my Mother and I visited Lightouse Park again and these are some of the photos of that trip.
Part of my job responsibilities are managing a large VMware installation and a tool which I use frequently, is PowerShell with the VMware modules. The following is only how I installed it on macOS and is by far not the only way.
First, I use Brew, it just makes things easier for me to get all the tools that I require and keep them up to date easily. Click here if you could like to know how to install Brew.
Installing PowerShell via Brew
Installing PowerShell via Brew is very easy and can be done via a simple command:
brew cask install powershellOnce this is complete you can access PowerShell in one of two different ways. The first is once the installation is complete you’ll have a PowerShell icon in your applications folder. However, the easier way to access PowerShell will be via Terminal and typing:
sudo pwshInstalling VMware modules into PowerShell
Next we will install the VMware modules, which is why we’re putting sudo in front so that we’re working as an Administrator.
sudo pwsh
Find-Module -Name VMware.PowerCLI
Install-Module -Name VMware.PowerCLI -Scope CurrentUserNow let’s verify that everything got installed
Get-Command -Module *VMWare*If everything went as expected you’ll see a long list of VMware modules.
Connecting to your vCenter
Connect-VIServer -Server vcenter.host.local -User administrator@vsphere.local -PasswordSo, now what?

To get a list of all your virtual machines:
get-vmIf you want to see a lot more information about each machine you can have that information spit out in a nice format list, like this:
get-vm | flA common task is moving virtual machines from here to there as users believe that memory and CPU are infinite. The following command would move the VM to the new ESXi host, via vMotion:
Move-VM -VM 'vmname' -Destination 'newesxi host'The point of this post was to get everyone up and running on macOS with PowerShell and VMware. There are many resources on-line that will help you continue your journey.

I collect Funko POP figures and have been waiting a long time for a version of The Joker from the 1989 Batman film. This time around I decided to try my chances by ordering more than one from Amazon in hopes of getting the rare Chase version of the figure.
To my amazement, this actually worked and I got one of each. The Chase version is the one on the right, with his makeup coming off. The chances of finding this one a shelf are insanely rare as they are quickly picked up, much of the time, by people that then sell them on eBay for 3x the original price.
