The Adventures of Schnubbs

Mobile phones are great – I use mine everyday to stay in contact with all my friends, not to mention my agent and even the occasional call from a famous movie director.

But that doesn’t mean I’m not careful about using the mobile. Call me overly cautious, but I’m a little worried about the side-effects mobile phones may have being that close to your head.

That’s why I’ve bought myself a nice little bluetooth headset. It’s a perfect fit around my little tiger ears.

As well as feeling safer, it also looks pretty cool. What do you think?

Howdy Geeks.

I’ve getting very excited about my trip over to Seattle this Saturday. That’s right, as I alluded to earlier this week, I’m heading over to attend the Microsoft MVP Summit.

As part of the fun, my MVT (Most Valuable Tiger) lead has given us all some goodies. The aim is that all the MVPs and MVTs from Down Under can recognise each other via our cool beanies and glow sticks.

I’m looking forward to meeting some new friends - if you spot me please come over, chat about .NET and get a photo taken with me.

Here’s me modelling the MVP beanie.

I’m on Twitter now. It’s only early days, and I’m not sure if this whole micro-blogging things really suits my personality, but I’m giving it a go:

You can follow my tweets here.

I only have a few followers so far, please follow me if you are interested in my adventures.

If you have lots of important files on your tigerputer it is imperative that you keep proper backups.

I take a number of backups. Some I keep in storage, and others in my office.

But for maximum safety, I also personally take my backups with me everywhere. I keep my most important files on a memory stick that hangs around my neck.

Hope this tip can help you too.

Technology wise I like to stay up to date.

Today I kicked off the Vista SP1 upgrade on my tiger-puter.

It went pretty smoothly. I’m not sure how long it took, because I went off to make some more pancakes whilst it was upgrading. When I had finished eating, the upgrade was all complete.

You may or may not know that I’m a bit of hobby programmer. I build a few things in my spare time when not on the sets of the blockbuster action movies.

Here’s me, with flat white in hand, checking out the latest on the .NET Framework.

Call me Gadget Tiger. I love playing with electronics and technology. At home we have a video and DVD and surround sound and big TV. I love it. It gives me a chance to watch some of the big budget movies I’ve starred in, in all their glory.

Here’s me checking the players are all set up correctly.
