About Me

Well I'm Robert, as I'm sure you can tell from the tagline already, Rob to my friends. I'm finally "old", having turned 30 in the year 2001. I live in Bedford, England, which is about 60 miles north of London.

I've been in computers all my professional life except for a very brief interlude where I worked in law enforcement. I've done time working and programming various computers ranging from mainframes, VAX, Unix, and of course, varying degrees of NT. I've been a sysadmin in all kinds of places including for the government, for a large American company, for an oil exploration company, and the education sector.

At the moment I'm a network manager for a college in a town called Luton, where we aim to push large quantities of the Luton population through the education sawmill and chuck them out the other end in a fit state to either go off to a University and get a degree, or into the job market.

I've been a Microsoft MVP since 1998, my six months to one year in desktop systems, and since then in the NT/2000/XP and Security groups. It's good fun helping others out whether in here or in that real life place, and that's basically why I do it. I also believe a little in Karma, if I help someone out when they need it I'd like to think fate would smile on me a little when I needed some help back.
