I'm Rob Marshall, a consultant who specialises in the Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager product. I like to share, i do so by blogging and helping out when I can in the MS SMS newsgroups and participating in the ConfigMgr MVP program.
I was awarded and joined the program in 2009. It'd be an understatement to say it has to be one of the best experiences an IT engineer can have, if they really enjoy specialising in a product.
My biggest weapon for troubleshooting is, my formidable knowledge, no, only joking, you, the community. I find if I cannot answer a question, then I can usually find the answer from using Bing\Google, pouring over the documentation, and if that doesn't work, tinkering in mine or someone elses virtual lab.
The blogs pretty much about ConfigMgr, but it is also a platform for me to express my random urges to display something I've stumbled across, and that I imagine would entertain you or what not as equally as it did me.
Heard this yesterday, David Carradine was found in a cupboard singularly performing strange sexual rituals. What a way to go. He was one of my favorite B movie actors. Legendary indeed. I guess his blocking technique wasn't up to par, or his shaolin monk training had slipped to the wayside over the years as he managed to off himself in a rather embarrassing way.
Here's bio on David for those of you in the dark: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_CarradineMost famous for his portrayal of a wandering monk Kwai Chang Caine in the TV series Grasshopper: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kung_Fu_(TV_series) Who remembers the intro to Grasshopper where he tries to take the pebble from his masters hand? Classic TV.
Master Po: Close your eyes. What do you hear?Young Caine: I hear the water, I hear the birds.Po: Do you hear your own heartbeat?Caine: No.Po: Do you hear the grasshopper that is at your feet?Caine: Old man, how is it that you hear these things?Po: Young man, how is it that you do not?
A sure sign that you are getting old when those that you use to watch as a kid on a Saturday morning, are, well, popping off like flies.
