charlie13561 Posted September 29, 2016 Posted September 29, 2016 Hi All been a member here for a little while and only just found this introduction page, so who am I? To be fair I was one of Piggy Malones crew now going it alone as myself Charlie Farley (charlie 13 thousand 5 hundred and 61 to be precis). Its good to know help and advice is always at hand with such a large collection of edugeeks, I will be pretty active over the next few months as I get to grips to the changes to safeguarding and what it actually means for the server/hardware/software change requirements. Still not seen anything about the RM Safetynet changes to allow individual logging which was murmured about in July, so I had better get reading! 1

HWSBM Posted November 7, 2016 Posted November 7, 2016 Hi All I'm SBM at in a home counties secondary academy. I was a member here when at my previous school and am back because I need to look at accounting software and want to get input from others.
ArthurDent Posted December 1, 2016 Posted December 1, 2016 Hi I have been in "IT" since 1974. We used to call it "computers". I now have more processing power on my wrist than we had in a room the size of two average classrooms. As you can guess, I'm getting on a bit. After a career in the software industry, I gave up latterly being the IT manager of a well known independant boarding school in 2009 and now do a consulting work at local schools both public and private around Wokingham and Bracknell. I have a wealth of accumulated kowledge but still need to resort to places like this every time Microsoft release a new set of "updates" which fix something that wasn't broken. I will be posting soon on issues with Windows 10 Education version. 1
korifugi Posted December 1, 2016 Posted December 1, 2016 Welcome @ArthurDent, or at least until the Vogon fleet rolls on through with their intergalactic version of HS2. 1

Garacesh Posted December 1, 2016 Posted December 1, 2016 I was wondering where I'd heard the name before.. Then I realised I was thinking of Harvey Dent. Post #1 gets us derailing? You'll fit right in, @ArthurDent! Welcome to the mad house Edugeek! 2
elsiegee40 Posted December 1, 2016 Posted December 1, 2016 wait... @ArthurDent , is'nt that off Minder? or is that Daley... i can't remember, WELCOME ANYWAY! Get your Arthurs sorted out whippersnapper! Welcome @ArthurDent. It's good to have someone else join the more "mature" end of the age-spectrum of Edugeek. There are quite a few of us not senile enough to forget punch cards and paper tape 2

Corvidae Posted December 1, 2016 Posted December 1, 2016 Welcome Arthur... I was beginning to think I was the only one here who was old enough to have had intimate knowledge of a mainframe.
witch Posted December 1, 2016 Posted December 1, 2016 Welcome Arthur... I was beginning to think I was the only one here who was old enough to have had intimate knowledge of a mainframe. Well - not sure about "intimate" but there are some of us who certainly know our mainframes
broomop Posted December 1, 2016 Posted December 1, 2016 is a mainframe a code name for "zimmer frames"? 1
elsiegee40 Posted December 1, 2016 Posted December 1, 2016 is a mainframe a code name for "zimmer frames"? Cheeky kids these days!
