4 months ago, I purchased a JVC Everio camcorder. I was hoping to film my trips to London but after running some test footage, I discovered it didn't work. The software was terrible and it stored files in .MOD format. Good if you have the cash to splash for Adobe Premiere, bad if your forced to use Windows Movie Maker. Fast forward to today. Then, I used Windows XP. Now I use Windows 7 and the Live version of Movie Maker. Not only did Windows 7 pick up my camera with no drivers required, ...

Well, I've finally finished Dune. I bought the book in the Summer of 1993 (my final year of uni.) Finally got around to finishing it after 16 years. Anyway... A fantastically well written book, one of those genuinely exciting books, but the ending - what a disappointment! It just stops.
And in celebration of this an order was given from the top to not use any heating in the school for some reason. Everyone was freezing cold but we dilgently followed the order as obeyed. No heating on in our department! We used the air-con instead. Bliss!

...it fails dramatically. Such as not actually being an undo button but a "Too lazy to close and re-open the Marksheet Template without saving so here is a button to do it for you" button. Said button is mistakenly pressed after spending over half an hour assembling columns with great patience in Assessment Manager on the pretence that it will undo only one action. Instead it rolls back to when I last saved, which was over half an hour ago. It took so long as the Marksheet ...

So, after all the hardwork over Summer I got called into the ICT Teachers Departmental Meeting to talk about what we done over the Summer and get their feedback after the first full week back. Haven't posted for a while, been busy doing the following.... 1. Implemented new XenServer which is now running four virtual machines. This has enabled us to switch off two old servers that needed replacing and split the roles on to these seperate virtual machines. Performance ...
As some of you may be aware i recently made an "Edugeek Search Federation Connector" so you can search Edugeek.net from your windows desktop enviroment. Some of you may be wondering how this can be done, so you can maybe use it for your own website. It's actually very straight forward, you can create 2 types of connectors "basic" or "advanced" the basic connector will just pull back webpages where as the advanced connector will allow ...

With the release of Windows 7 it is time to start grabbing your Windows 7 ISO's, furiously burn them to a disk and install a new copy of Windows 7. Any gaming rig will have Gigabytes of programs to copy over though if the file transfers fail. The Big Reinstall helps you transfer those programs to quickly get back to your online fragfests. So let's start with the biggest player on the market at the moment, World of Warcraft. Before starting it is recommended to backup ...

So it seems to be coming more of a common thing now people using USB sticks to install Operating Systems, one thing people seem to have a problem is.. is making the USB Bootable. Well say no more, it takes about 5 minutes and all you need is command prompt no need for 3rd party software. ~*This only works with Windows Vista/7*~ 1) Open Command Prompt 2) cd \ {ENTER} 3) diskpart {ENTER} 4) list disk {ENTER} ...
OK - so I took over the blog a bit recently, what with my Sharepoint ramblings followed by my "Live from..." series. Right... so whats been keeping me away from the blogging (no boos and hisses in the background thank you!!): 1. Replacing a load of switches: Our core switches were all upgraded to Netgear GSM7212 - to provision our fibre. Next level out from this, we have just finished putting in GSM 7248/24 dependant on capacity. Why these? Well ...
Ok... picture the scene... You have a nice existing RIS setup - which deals with all your machines quite nicely. If course - it has to run on Server 03. You then go and update your DCs to Server 2008. Problem - you notice that some of your image builds stop joining the domain. Cue pulling your hair out time! Have you changed anything in the images etc.... No... the problem as I eventually found out is you Server 2008 DCs. So long as they are the only ...
