I found Vivek Sharma's blog through Jeffrey Snover on the MS PowerShell blog. He's got some good geeky stuff there, including some useful PowerShell posts.
Vivek's out-ie is useful, so I snagged that for myself. I tried to create an out-ff but I hit a stumbling block because the Mozilla ActiveX Control requires a control container. out-html is not so useful because convertto-html already comes with powershell.
NetCmdlets now includes a convert-data cmdlet which converts data to and from many different encodings: uuencode, base64, quoted-printable, url-encoding, JIS, Yenc, and hex. It can also create md5 and sha1 hashes.
