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.
Some of you that know me will know I have some interesting hobbies ... Scuba diving and Snowboarding!
Had a chance to take some quality time off a little while after the MVP summit took place, so headed to the French Alps, Chamonix, and enjoyed 3 full days of snowboarding on the glorious white stuff!
This year my skills came together, feel a lot more solid on that board and able to keep up most of the time. Didn't go as far as trying 360's, 1080's or forward\backward flips while whooping mid-air, but got a real rush from nosing down the slopes at terminal velocity (well not quite!).
A friend had to take time off from the pistes and as a result had a head-cam sitting around not being used, so I attached it on to the helmet with a not-too-clever bungie type strap and took to the slopes. Here's what I recorded, taken from hours of footage, most of which was pointing at the sky, my board or generally bouncing around too much to make for good video (lesson learnt for next time!):

I plan on going back soon, maybe beginning of April and want to get a good head-cam and solidly attach it to the helmet for some proper HERO (my fiance thinks I'm a HERO, she's right!) action!
