Nestled in a typical open plan development office at BBD, you will find Robert MacLean’s desk where this passionate technology specialist is often working on the latest and greatest technology from Microsoft.

This desk is often vacant as he can often be found presenting, demo’ing, networking or drinking free beer at the many conferences, events, user groups & communities.

While many say he is a great developer, his top two highlights are an son & winning the Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) of the Year in 2011.

When not at work or at community events he can be found still coding for his many personal projects (that he hopes will bring him fame and fortune or at least a thank you from a person who has benefited from them) or for Microsoft through his involvement in the Microsoft Rangers.

He often shares his thoughts, lesson learnt and tools at www.sadev.co.za and can be found on Twitter

comment Polo TDI 2004 - intermittent power, smoke, turbo issue
Pretty damn close to what the problem was. Took it in eventually and it was some sort of boost leak but not from a pipe, and only showed up once the car got hot. In addition the leak also allowed oil in which killed the internals of the turbo so ended up having the entire internals of the turbo replaced to solve it.
