Hi all, I'm John

 

Just started on Monday as ICT Technician / Network Supervisor at a secondary school in Wrexham.

 

All going well so far considering this is my first job in this type of thing and the last bloke left before I began. (and left very little instructions)

 

Was introduced to the site by Rhyds

 

Eh oop lad, i'll tell you, this place is AMAZING. A good laugh and a very useful tool, may I suggest you get hold of the admin bar and excuses generator...

[Griffo]

Cheers Rhyds!

 

I can already see that this will be useful, love the excuse generator, can't wait to try it out!!!

Hi there and welcome

[Robbo123]

Hi, just registered.. only really so i could see the FFS and security sub-forums..

im a student not a technician but i got an a* at gcse ict without really trying and know a bit about ICT.. so yeah, hi guys, how are things...

[FN-GM]

What course did you do? I did the DIDA one a few years ago and found it boring and a waste of time. It doesnt relate to true IT.

The clue is in the name, Diploma In Digital Applications = video, website design and making power point presentations. The old style equivalent was called Information Systems when I went through the education system, and focussed on databases, word processing and designing logos. It was only when I progressed to 'A' level where we started learning programming and how a computer actually worked, but that's not really taught properly even at 'A' level these days.

 

Any how I digress, Welcome aboard Robbo123 and others above who've recently joined.

I wish i had a choice if i did it or not. The school i work in they pull apart computers for there course.

Thanks Mike... Yeah, it's designing logo's, websites, spreadsheets databases brochures and all that kind of thing... it sucked. I started A-level this time round, im doing B-tec national practitioners diploma... It was the best one i could fit around my other courses. The unit's they have picked suck so bad aswell.... animation and things like that, when there were loads of better -more ICT- type units we could have done.. But heh, it'll be alright. Maybe i could get it finished in half the lesson time we get.. But, this term I go back to school to see right click has been disabled.. so now i have to do things the 'long way round' :@ if someone can tell me how i can turn my right click back on i'd be very greatfull Can I change the system registry key from NoViewContextMenu 0 to NoViewContextMenu 1 ?? or will the registry be locked or protected or whatever… ideas anyone ?

 

is it worth starting a new thread for this ??? and which section ?

Helpful Dos_Box

Well it's Monday tomorrow and i have one, or maybe two free periods.. I’ll let you know how i get on.. I’m assuming the registry is going to be protected and i don’t know how to get past that.. You should really help me out though.

 

EDIT didnt try today, have ICT tomorrow... try then

and by the way, robbo123 - NO!!

[TheRedGuy]

Hey Hi folks!

 

I thought I should really get round to putting something here, so here I go!

 

My names Mike, I don't work in education myself - (NHS) but as part of my job as a server monkey I do have to deal with Sophos AV one way or another on a daily basis, and this site has solved many problems/answered many questions to do with it.

 

So thank you all!

 

The Missus is a teacher however, does that count?

[witch]

Yeah, We'll let you off.

Don't give away all our secrets though, will you?
