Those who follow my blogs will remember that last Summer, I set about building a single platform system - based around Windows 7/Server 2008 R2. This post deals with the final part of the jigsaw relating to the Thin Client section - powered by Windows Thin PC (aka Windows 7 lite... it runs NT6.1)
This post follows http://www.edugeek.net/blogs/thescarfedone/1108-remote-desktop-thin-client-part-2.html

Hiya!
Thought I would give this a plug as I did this the weekend!
Place called Go Ape, this was one was near Cannock (Bham) but there are a number of them I believe scattered over the UK.
What a brilliant few hours out! I was quite skeptical at first but wow I really enjoyed it, it was a treat from the missis! I thought it was quite expensive (£30 quid each but we had 20% off) but its totally worth it!

I've just ordered 4 new computers, due to serious failures in a few classes, and had an idea.
The new computers are licenced for Windows 7 Home Premium [sP1], but will actually be running Windows XP.
My idea was... rejiggle the licences around [Put the licence for the old machine on the new one] and then there'd be some decent Win7 lincences going spare. [which I may or may not have planned to aquire...]
Turns out, you can't do that. Even though we've paid for it, we can't use it h
Not a rant... More "omg my boss is awesome!" I just felt like sharing.
The following is an ACTUAL e-mail chain sent between the head and myself. [it's also backwards. Most recent at the top.]

Note: the total dimensions of your equipment are W 440mm x H 240mm (6U) x D 490mm
so, allowing for power and network connections, you should allow at least

What outgoing connections are permitted from the LGfL 2.0 network?
The following protocols, ports and destinations are permitted by default when making outbound connections from a site connected to LGfL 2.0:
DNS to any server (TCP port 53, UDP port 53)
HTTP to any server (TCP port 80)
HTTPS to any server (TCP port 443)
SMTP, IMAPS and POP3S to StaffMail servers (TCP ports 25, 587, 995)
When will we get the details of new Sophos servers?
New Sophos servers are already available to establishments connected to the LGfL 1 and LGfL 2.0 networks. The update service operates at sophos10.lgfl.org.uk. Note that the Service Desk will only support version 4.7 or later of Enterprise Console, and version 9.7 or later of the standalone client for Windows. Establishments using earlier versions of Sophos should upgrade at the earliest opportunity. Since technical support is only avai
NB: To protect the guilty, the names of both the trainer and the training provider have been omitted.
My recent training day experience was bizarre to say the least. I turned up late to the one-day course so perhaps didn't get off to the best start. I stupidly put the wrong address in my Google Navigation app and was blissfully unaware of this until I sailed past what I thought should have been (and was) the correct junction and ended up in the arse-end of nowhere. When I finally arrived, I w
Someone in my school is having a very, very bad day now, having inadvertently emailed a letter of complaint from one staff member about others round to the entire staff body by mistake. Entirely human error, but I can sympathise with the rock-in-the-gut feeling they must be going through right now.
Anyway, because Message Recall is bloody useless and in no way a reliable way of trying to stuff the cat back into the bag, I'm sharing the following code below what I have squeezed out of the inte

There has been some awful news coverage today of the privacy policy updates being carried out by Google. Many people are being misled by the reduction of the 70 seperate policies currently being agreed to down to 1 policy for 1 unified platform. It makes business sense and whilst there are always some concerns when changes are made to any organisation's policy, the storm in a teacup is being made worse by the media again.
This morning on BBC News, the story broke about Google's changes to the
If you run dhcp on your own linux proxy for say, guest wireless, this is well worth installing:

Tells you how many ips are used/free. I've used it on redhat and debian. There may be better gui apps for this purpose but all our proxies are minimal debian installs with no gui.

Could someone please help me.
Ok - so from Outlook, you've been able to share your calendar with another user for ages. The problem is there haven't really been many options around automating this. Well - enter some handy new features in Exchange 2010.
The calendar sharing feature introduced in Outlook Web App 2010 (OWA) allows a user to grant access to their calendar to another user. To access the option, click on the Share option when in the Calendar and then on Share This Calendar. You’ll then be able to select the use
Welcome to Part 4b of my System Centre Configuration Manager (SCCM) series!

This blog has been sorely neglected since I got caught up with our school's switch between MIS providers. So, in an effort to rescue it from the hordes of one-post blogs on the web, here, for no good reason at all, are some of the text editors I have known:
Notepad
Yes, we all have to start somewhere…
Wordpad
Has a better time with Linux/Unix new line breaks than Notepad, but it's a rich text editor >_<
Pico
Just about the simplest text editor I have ever used. I used it

Dear couriers,
I have come to accept that you are not the brainiest bunch on the planet (in fact when they were handing out intelligence I suspect that you weren't at the back of the queue but actually not in the queue at all as you couldn't find the queue and were riding around in your garish van looking for the queue (probably driving dangerously)) but please can you note the following:
