  1. Hm, as far as I know, Music-on-Hold is different on Leeds and Soton phone systems. I only know that the wav file on the Leeds MX is called "breath_control.wav"
  2. There's a suggestion that gay children don't want bigoted politicians, so hopefully this sort of thing will even itself out
  3. @sjl - drop me an email with comments on the new UI -- we have a full time UI chap now who would be interested to hear how we can improve. As for the slow response to support queries, it is currently #1 priority round here to get this resolved, and we certainly will. There have been a number of issues which seem to have compunded the problem, but we won't hide behind excuses, we need to make this better, and we will.
  4. Thanks for the info guys - I will talk to our support manager. I knwo they're trying to fit a load of new procedures in around support with the aim of improving consistency, but it is clearly early days just yet.
  5. Likely in /var somewhere - run grep -lR knownblocked.com /var that might show the location up. Helping someone move to Trend... what next?
  6. It's tricky sometimes when you have a "speciality" distro to bump kernels. I know we suffer hyper-v legacy drivers, although we have an upcoming release which includes "the good stuff" it is going to be a long time in test.
  7. You certainly shouldn't need to whitelist anything. It's generally pretty well behaved especially on the desktop.
  8. IS DNS pooched on your client machine? With a traditional proxy you can get away with it, as the proxy does lookups, with transparent, the client does lookups.
  9. Drop me an email and I will forward it on to the relevant people. ICT Direct may be interested (they're local-ish) and maybe LUNS?
  10. @techdave - sorry to hear you had a crappy experience with us. We can't get it right every time, but it sounds like we got it pretty wrong for you. PM me your details, at least so I can make sure whatever bit you gets sorted. If you come to BETT, i'd gladly trade war stories over a coffee, or drop me a line by email or phone. @glennda yes Dan is still about, though we're on a completely different platform to dg now (cunningly called dansguardian3 if you look at the binary name...)
  11. Thanks for the vote of support there chaps, much appreciated Sitting in a hotel room in soton after a day with our dev team, it is good to see that our hard work doesn't go unnoticed.
  12. Get it on a linux box (just the files), and run strings file.ext | tr A-Z a-z | sort | uniq and see if there are any dirty words lurking.
  13. You already have the "hour" in an integer format.. keep spitting lines to your first hours file until that changes, then change filename. I would suggest perl is the language for this...
  14. I should have been there, but have had to go see our developers instead Some smoothwall people on a stand somewhere tho.
  15. YouTube - Broadcast Yourself <- temporary flash-free workaround?
  16. There's a couple of auto detect websites for both Microsoft and Apple - you might try blocking them, because then you get "you might need to sign in" on your desktop/i-device. This is a bit unpredictable mind, so if you're happy where you are i'd let sleeping dogs lie
  17. Yello! Drop me a PM or email with your details
  18. Thinking of the razr i, or maybe the htc one s, though the latter is becoming hard to find. Really struggling to replace my desire S with something mid-range but SMALL - all the mid range and above phones now are huge, proper pocket-busters.
  19. If it is possible in your filter, exclude the java domains from authentication. It rarely plays friendly.
  20. Got a text from my wife last week - "The wifi in this hotel is not encrypted, what should I do to be extra careful?" GOOD WIFE. Well taught Also: Milky milky for me too
  21. Seems unlikley. 2 key things would be: Keep all software on the webserver up to date, and do NOT use FTP.
  22. The book wasn't quite as good as I expected, but still very enjoyable. The man's flat out bonkers on twitter as well.
  23. Thanks folks. FWIW, we are quite heavily blockular right out of the box - this is a relic of the days of BECTA standards, which required us to have a tight tight tight standard policy - we hope, one day, there'll be other standards to live up to *sniff* *weep* As for reporting... all true - we've got some fairly in-depth reporting tools, but they can be tricky to use in places. We are, as someone mentioned, working on a "version 2.0" right now. In fact, only 2 hours ago i was chatting with the developers working on it... VERY exciting...
  24. Read this, and have fun: select – Wait for I/O Efficiently - Python Module of the Week
