Hi, A friend is about to get involved with BusinessLand about whom I have heard and experienced very bad things (internal grade cable being used for external jobs whilst charging for external grade cable etc) and was wondering if anyone could comment on this company at all? Please PM me with any details and I will keep messages in the strictest confidence. Thanks in advance.

I'd love to move down there... Sigh...

These don't exist...

Impero is outstanding - highly recommended.

We have ~90 Wyse 9150 units which have started to die for no apparent reason after less than 2 years of use and as such I would not recommend them. We have also recently taken delivery of some custom-build Ruby thin clients built by A2Z computers which look quite promising. ive them a call as they have a number of options available (including converting old/useless PCs you may have lying around).

That site trips the E2BN content filter

Lol - I'd like to talk to just one!

We want to open up Terminal Services to our staff but the 16 bit issue is a killer - our Terminal Servers run on x64. We would also like to move our SIMS install onto a 64-bit server to take advantage of the increased RAM handling abilities, but I suspect that we won't see x64 compatible apps for donkeys years yet.

Impero cost our school £5000, but I feel it was money very well spent just on the amount of time it saves my team as we can now do so much more remotely. The ability to run scripts and the like (Impero has its own scripting console) on a whole room at once is fantastic. The support from Impero is also excellent and they tend to incorporate suggestions and tweaks into the very next release of the software (which come round every few weeks). Once you start factoring in the teaching tools, and Impero is streets ahead of most of its competitors. I am reliably informed that A2Z Computers from whom I purchased the system are quite negotiable on price! There are ways of recouping costs as well, such as resale of PICstick (a version of Impero for use at home by concerned parents)...

LOL. I'm deaf now too though!

Whoops. Just found this one for a F/T ICT Technician in Maldon too!

Just had a quick look on the Essex County Council website and there are three IT jobs listed this week: F/T ICT Technician - Basildon Term-Time + 5 ICT Technician - Epping P/T ICT Manager - Harlow Hope this helps someone

Def Leppard - Carling Academy Islington. Anyone else there?

Could be timeouts caused by multiple stations accessing the same txt file at once?

We use Impero here which covers both classroom management functions in addition to student monitoring and protection. There is a free trial download on the website. You are also welcome to come and have a look at it in use here

I think my head just exploded.

We use ilient which seems to do just about everything you want. I believe they do a free, cut-down version which should get you started.

Being that SIMS sits on a standard MS SQL database, how can you justify this charge to access and manipulate our own data? P.S. Having sat through a VLE demo day with four vendors, I can safely say that Uniservity had the worst product available. The product is so bad, I think Capita risk further besmirching their name by advertising the partnership.

Genius! My Dad (age 58!) used to watch it with me when I was a kid and he still hums the theme tune. I sent him the first 4 episodes on DVD 'cos they were on cheap at HMV once.

Definitely faster, but that's about it.

There is only one correct response to this post; Yay!

Touché!

I think this site should be read by all everyone before they hold the internet up as the greatest teaching tool ever invented and allow mymaths.co.uk, narklar.co.uk etc to "educate" students in the absence of hard work. Just my two cents anyway

We also migrated some time ago - I think there is a deadline for the migration that you really better check up on with Capita.

We have had TS/RDC running here for nearly two years and have just upgraded to a Citrix server farm. We are based in Southend on Sea in Essex and welcome visitors to have a look.
