Well.. TheScriptLibrary has been busy recently, and has grown to over 10000 scripts! Yes indeedy, all free, all full of scripty goodness.
Most of the recent growth has be courtesy of the sample code from Scriptomatic V2, and cleverly edited and run against multiple WMI namespaces to add thousands of new scripts the the library.
Recent improvements include the addition of an 'and/or' option to the search, better layout and link naming, plus I have been working on the inaugural release of the 'Windows Monitor' script.
The Windows Monitor project is something I have been working on for 4 years now, and its predecessors have been used in production environments with great success. I'm just making it a little more modular and adding some features. Watch this space.
..Scriptastic.

100000 Page Views
This week the 100000 pageviews point has been reached on TheScriptLibrary.com.
Well done, Script Library. The most popular sections seem to be vbscript, powershell, and php. There are over 2000 pages, and there are dozens of search phrases that result in 1st page results with google. msn, and yahoo.
However, I'd like to get your feedback on what you'd like to see added to thescriptlibrary. Articles are on the way, as is a comprehensive resources section for each scripting language. Other plans are for RSS feeds, ScriptOfTheDay, and Script voting.
Tell me your ideas ...

Why did I create TheScriptLibrary.com ?
Why? I'll tell you why...
Since 1998 I have been creating various scripts to automate jobs that would be too repetitive and boring to do manually. You know the kind of thing.. check log files for text, email people when alert conditions occur on servers, upload new templates to 1000 users.. that kind of thing.
The life of the Computer Systems Administrator is one of digging away at the work pile with a small slotted spoon, while 10 other departments are dumping more work on to the pile with those gigantic loaders you see in open cast coal mines.
Hence.. 'the script'. He might be tiny, he might be written in notepad, he might be unassuming, but that little guy, well... he is the only little dude that can help you move from the firefighting role to the strategist. He gives you an extra hour every day by tirelessly doing boring jobs for you.. and he loves it. Little Mr Scripty is fulfilling his destiny by rescuing you from tedium. And even better, if you created him then you get all the glory.
anyhoo.. back to the library.. since about 98 I have been writing scripts mainly in vbscript, and of course, I need to store up these nuggets for future use, not only for similar tasks, but as a reference point for future more complicated jobs.
My little folder grew to thousands and I thought.. there has to be a better way. The answer came as a demonstration script I downloaded which had all the code to create, edit, and delete records from an Access Database. And so.. TheScriptLibrary was born.
For now I have loaded all the scripts from the Microsoft Script Center Database into TheScriptLibrary.com, and am in the process of loading up all my own scripts. I have a way to go, and from there I plan to add Articles, References, Script of the Day, RSS Feeds, etc etc.
All for now. Have a Scripty Day.
