  1. Bizarre! I was just about to post asking if someone knew of a product that would do this! One telepathic Edu-beer to you sir!
  2. I'll do it for £10 per tape ;-)
  3. I still like Technische Universiteit Eindhoven: Info SequoiaView
  4. Hi all Looking for a cheapo android smartphone - preferably not a contract job as I fancy using my GiffGaff sim in it - any recommendations or warnings? I saw the Huawei advertised - anyone used one? Cheers
  5. How about one of these HP ProLiant ML110 G7 E3-1220 Tower Server | Ebuyer.com not bad for £240 once you've got your cashback and plenty of money left to tart it up and buy some useful software
  6. What that man said - its MUCH nicer
  7. I used to buy a lot from repsole.com - a leading supplier of datacom and telecom products, cables, connectors, cabinets, panels, fibre optic products and much more - pretty cheap and OK
  8. Yeah - its annoying - heres the solution Satellite Pro A300 (PSAJ1E-) Remove battery and disconnect the AC-adapter then short pad G1 for a minimum of 30 seconds with a flat-blade screwdriver, the pad is located under the memory module. This can be accessed from the base of the notebook
  9. Yeah sure - anyone know whats the biggest size I can post? Or drop me your email and I'll pop it over to you Cheers
  10. I thought that not being in work does have its advantages as I took a walk round Everdon Stubbs this morning...
  11. Rhubarb Bellini - stew up the rhubarb with a little sugar & ginger. Blend to a pulp in a blender. Mix a big spoonful into a glass of cheap cold fizz - afternoon bliss - specially in this current mini heatwave...
  12. Or Format Factory or AVIDemux
  13. You need one of these Siemens Surpresso Compact "Beans to cup" coffee machine TK58001GB
  14. Self build and mostly aria.co.uk - though mine came to a bit more than £500, as will yours if you're not recycling cases, PSUs etc
  15. Most look like they could've stumbled out of the staff room...
  16. Download Richcopy instead - same thing but with an easy to use GUI
  17. i'VE GOT ONE OF THESE IN THE KITCHEN http://www.amazon.co.uk/Roberts-Stream-Stereo-Internet-Speaker/dp/B002VEN10O/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1335909762&sr=1-3 Its awesome - perhaps a bit too big & pricey though
  18. No on an eyePhone ;-)
  19. Further to this thread - recently had to get reading glasses - so bought a pair from the posh optician in town where I had the eye test and also a cheapo pair from Glasses2U - although the prescription wasn't very complicated - functionally the glasses seem identical - so thats the last expensive pair I'll buy - big saving - £16 plays £285!
  20. I'd have to say that its threads like this one that make me so happy not to work in schools anymore. Poor decisions by ill informed SLT being foisted on IT Support staff - brrr - brings me out in goosepimples just thinking about it...
  21. In a previous job (not a school) we had a toilet monster that liked to smear excrement all over the walls of the cubicles. On one famous occasion he even made a "Stonehenge"-type arrangement on a toilet seat, much to the fury of the office manager, who had to arrange the cleaning up. We never knew for certain who it was, though it did stop when a certain member of staff left for pastures new...
  22. We used to have a tag system similar to the above and it became a 'mare - I guess it depends on what your kids are like - but ours took every opportunity to mess things up - the tags would be removed and stuffed into the lining of other students clothes, into their bags, one was even superglued to the detectors causing them to alarm all the time - in the end, they were going off so often that no one took any notice of them - which kind of defeated the purpose...
  23. I've just bought a WD TV Live for home use (around £70-£80) and full HD http://www.amazon.co.uk/Western-Digital-Streaming-Media-Player/dp/B005NYOKC2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1331829505&sr=8-1 Its a cracking little box and easy to set up, of course if you've got an old PC and a copy of W7 - you could always use the media player
  24. Joining the programming club at school and having to fill in circles on cards with a 2B pencil to represent each byte and then cycling down the local "tech" to have them run and pick up the results the following week - and usually finding you'd made a mistake on a card and the whole job failed - arggghh Also - pre mobile days when I used to have to carry a pager and when it went off, hunting for a non vandalised BT phone booth to call the office secretary to find out what the problem was.
