About
Robert Pearman is a UK based Small Business technology enthusiast. Which is to say, he is enthusiastic about technology used in small businesses, although to talk to him you would be forgiven for thinking the opposite.
He worked within the SMB IT Industry 18 years forever, focusing mainly on Microsoft products in particular Small Business Server and Windows Server Essentials family products before moving to the Enterprise space in 2023.
He has a basic understanding of CISCO routers and switches, in that he can identify them by their logo.
In 2004 Robert was living the dream working in a clothes store as a fitting room attendant. It was here he decided he needed a new dream. Never being someone known for his imagination, he found an advert in the local paper for an instructor led MCSE class, and decided this was for him.
After applying for the course he found out exactly what an MCSE was, but decided to carry on anyway.
In 2010 Robert was award a Microsoft MVP in Small Business Server, an award he held for 8 years in various specialisations. After meeting a PowerShell MVP at the Microsoft campus in Seattle, Robert’s interest in automation and scripting grew.
Robert likes Piña colada and getting caught in the rain, on occasion he also enjoys writing using Technology in ways that may be unconventional.
If you’re in trouble, and you can find him, maybe you can ask him a question. Just don’t ask him to write out a public BIO because he really hates that.

Title (Required) 
I think your blog is full of wonderful tips, tricks and other good to know stuff, but have just 1 criticism… your layout makes it very easy to miss a hidden gem of an article. I think you even recognize that in the SBS 365 article, you say something like okay, stop scrolling. You should try follow a format like engadget, BGR, h2g, etc … give us a quick blurb, then let us “read more” if that’s a topic of interest, if not, the next topic should be right there, instead of about 5 screenfuls down. That makes people want to come in every couple of days to see what new articles have been posted.
thanks again – great site – but sadly i might only end up here from a search engine trip. hopefully you consider a little change to the format.
I think that is a sensible suggestion thanks, unfortunately i don’t seem to be able to set the theme that way through wordpress.
