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.
Lots of folk get all irrational when you mention scuba diving (the solo bit) on your own, the amount of times jaws have dropped when I've brought the subject up sigh ... I think its because they feel threatend, and I don't mean physically endangered, I mean it goes against what certain training agencies drill into them over and over and it is something they, specifically, wouldn't do, or they haven't matured or mastered their diving to the point that they can think independently of the courseware and instruction that they have received over the years, and start to grow on their own.
I'm taking this course soon, just trying to book the time off: http://www.tdisdi.com/index.php?did=60&site=3
