The Annual Expert Awards are announced at the beginning of each year to celebrate the best Experts throughout the years from a competitive field of Experts worldwide at Experts Exchange.
The award winner in each category receives the following:
- Top Expert Shirt
- Platinum Plated Trophy
- Expert Awards Badge
I believe the Trophy is a cast of the original hard drive which recorded the first Question/Answer at Experts Exchange. Each Trophy weighs approx 2kg.
I was the Award winner in the following
- Expert of the Year – The expert who earned the most points throughout the year.
- Juggernaut – The expert that answered the most questions throughout the year.
- The Ally – The expert who earned the most assist points throughout the year.
and this is what you receive from Experts Exchange if you are lucky enough on Being The Best of the Best!
oh, and a wardrobe full of Expert Exchange T-Shirts!

Got a surprise today when FedEx delivered not one, but two FedEx Boxes from VMware…A large box and a medium box. I happen to open the large box first!
The first large FedEx box contained my VMware vExpert swag, A VMware vExpert branded laptop bag, VMware vExpert luggage travel tag and my VMware vExpert Certificate.

it might be April 1 2012, but this is no joke!
I’ve been meaning to upload this for a while, it reminds me of the fantastic time we had in Japan, in March 2011. (be warned!). This was a clandestine recording of a few of the songs we sang! I did not notice the phone recording the event!
(i’ve also learnt a few more feartures of Adobe Premiere Pro!)

It’s fantastic my Stihl HS45 Petrol Hedge Trimmer, goes through hedges like butter, here’s an example, Lindsey wanted the conifer bush reducing in height in front of the window.
BEFORE - NOTE THE HEIGHT
AFTER - PROPER JOB!

“Britain was the first nation to adopt daylight saving schemes in 1908.
Some people believe the pragmatically minded British did it to make economy on candles.”

Finally, the upgrade and restore has completed, I started the upgrade at 23:00, and it finished at 5.00am. 6 Hours to complete an iOS 5.0.1 upgrade, and I also upgraded and moved to iCLOUD as well.
not checked my iPad fully yet, but I knew something would be weird….
The upgrade has reduced the overall capacity by approx 1GB, compared to iOS 4.3.3, and now I have something strange going on because it thinks it’s Over Capacity by 30.1GB.
