vbscript

Hi All,

I have been writing vbscripts for 7 years to automate all sorts of boring computer tasks. Scripting is easy, satisfying, and free.

You'll be amazed just what can be achieved with a few lines of code, and over the next few months I'll show you how.

Please let me know of your annoying computer problems and I'll help you to automate them so you can spend more time on the fun things in life.

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.
