PowerScripting Podcast had Clint Huffman on their show last week.  The final recording was put up last night and now can be listened to.  Clint did a great job talking about the PAL tool that he ported over to PowerShell version 2.0.  The interview goes into how Clint did it and some of the roadblocks he ran into.  Clint also hinted that the next beta version of PAL should be out in the near future.  Clint also briefly talked about how you can do some IIS log analysis but is not part of PAL yet.   Clint did take the time to talk about this on his blog.  Check out the links below and if you are not a current user of PAL you should check it out.
