Dropped some new powershell scripts to import and export RSA Private keys as Azure Key Vault secrets.

The portal has a limitation and will only allow single line secrets PS allows multiline.

e.g. This can be used to store SSH keys.

Hi All, some python analytics using historical market data from NQ1!. In this case I want to visualize how often a day of the week is the high or low of the week for each year. This is descriptive analytics so not that valuable at this point, but an interesting exploration of market data over time.

Had a rough time setting up an Azure Function + Python development environment in VSCode, I documented the steps that worked in a public GitHub Gist. Hope this helps others if they run into the same issues.

I built this #PowerShell process a few years ago. It has been useful and was a fun little project. I use it to take notes in Markdown either from the CLI or directly from the log file in VSCode. The search feature has helped me find notes when I can't remember details.
