Don't. Go with the HTC Wildfire. Not sure if you can get it on Vodafone, though.

One of the teachers managed to stumble on to www. caravan-dealers.com (broke the link on purpose) which hosts spyware. I need to check if the machine has been infected, so I thought why not also do the same for other workstations. What's the best way to do this remotely/centrally? Ideally it would be a free tool, but if it's worth paying for then it would have to be considered.

You can leave earlier than your notice period, but the employer may elect to sue you for costs incurred.

I'm after a new Android handset, but I'm really torn as to what I want. Do I get the Desire, because everyone else is? Or do I get a Galaxy S, because of the amazing specs? Or do I keep my G1 for the moment and just wait for something else to come along....

I meant to have a play with it in order to set up a test environment. That way you can get used to Vanilla pretty easily.

Would there really be any issue with a lack of development?

Why not have a play with Learning Network Manager?

I'd definitely agree that it's important to find the right instructor. Never put up with one you don't get on with, as in the end it's you that's paying them! I was fortunate enough to pass first time, but my sister took hers a couple of weeks ago and failed. Never mind, it's a learning experience!

Stress can really mess up your immune system. Spend more time outdoors, and try and get some exercise.

If you're after a cheaper Android handset, have a look at the HTC Wildfire. It's like a baby HTC Desire.

Everyone will have their own opinions on which bike is best. Specialized have a very good rep, especially for value. Kona seem to be overpriced, but their frames are meant to be very good for upgrading. Just don't expect as much quality kit attached to the frame as other similarly-priced bikes.

Right, just enabled diagnostic mode. Unfortunately once you disable cartridge check you can't come out of diagnostic mode, otherwise it resets.

It's a CP3505n printer, uses the same toner cartridges as the 3800. (CMYK - Q7581A, Q7582A, Q7583A, Q6470A) Where would I get these chips from?
-
The HP laser in the office will ask you to replace toner cartridges based on throughput, not on toner level. Is there any way to reset the counter on the toner cartridge so that the printer thinks it's full?

I can't even begin to imagine the struggle going on in your head right now. If what you're saying is true, and she's not interested in a future with you, no amount of coercion on your part is going to change her mind. I know it's the last thing you want to do, but you need to take a look at your options (especially any financial implications) of a split. Got any mates (real mates) you can spend some time with?

I started off wearing shirt and tie here, but have since changed to polo shirt and chinos. I'm also rocking some Karrimor walking shoes, which last a hell of a lot longer than most rubbish.

I'd say it's a nice and cool 16 degrees in my office right now. The server closet is at 21 with the aircon running, and I'm separated from that by a pvc screen. The room also has no direct sun on it at any point throughout the day.

I personally think they spent so long making the worm hard to get rid of, they released the payload in an alpha state and thus it's too buggy to work.

What do you use for teaching pupils website development?

I think Trellian's looking like the app we're going to go for. And I agree about learning HTML. It's not difficult, and gives you greater confidence if you want to take things further. -
Sanyo XW200 are the ones I'm currently picking up. They're pretty decent and have a three year warranty.

Thinking of an overhaul of the way things work...

Teachers here have the ability to change pupil passwords, but they still get sent my way. It's the same network setup in the other secondary schools in the authority, and everyone has the same problem. One technician is currently handing out instruction sheets to any pupils that come in, and are told to take them to their teacher to do the password change. We're all waiting to see how that one works out! Anyway, Spiceworks is being used here. I like it, as asset management and the helpdesk is all tied in to one system, which is nice. My main gripe is getting people to log calls via the helpdesk, so from September I'm going to try and get them into the habit of doing so. Those that log password change requests: Who do you list as the initiator? The pupil, or the teacher from the class they are sent? -
At what point do you call an electrician?

I'd need to find a ten metre extension, and because it needs to run through a lot of conduit I'd rather feed it through without the plug on, than take the cover off and struggle with it. Also, I'm one of the school's PAT testers, so that makes it easier! -
Here's my situation: I need to run a new power cable to a ceiling-mounted projector. The guys who installed it did the whole "let's run some two-core flex from socket to projector, meaning any new projectors requiring three-core are out of luck" routine. I'm going to get some flex, wire a plug on one end and a single or double socket onto the other. Now, it's easy as pie, being a single step above wiring a plug. I've got no worries about my abilities in the matter, but the head of ICT has expressed concerns over responsibility and accountability, and other 'ility's. On the sliding scale between wiring a plug, and installing a new ring circuit, where do you draw the line and call in a sparky?
