Ditto for us - I don't know if you "ghost" (or similar your PCs - but we connect every USB device to every USB port as part of the "build" process.

Just wondered if anyone has worked in a school that has gone over to being an Academy? We're due to go in September and was just wondering what were the worst issues for you (from a technical & data pov rather than any political opinions)

We organise our backups with 13 monthly backups, with the 13th being a full backup in the summer break that we retain for 2 years (to cover them through A Level or GCSE)

Agree with you there - I got scr**ed over twice in the private sector - once by the firm and once by the pension provider, so last time I was made redundant I opted to take a lower paid job but a safe pension (given I was then over 40 and had little provision. I will be seriously dischuffed to get b*ggered about again simply to cough up my pension to ensure that the bankers don't have to pay their fair whack (anyone else watch Dispatches last night with Will Hutton?)

How did you fix it? We've been having problems the last few days with the "This content doesn't seem to be working" error for most users here.

I believe that only personal information is covered by DP - so a list of phone numbers all marked against IT Manager at Sucha School would not be covered by the DPA

Won't bginfo do it for you too?

An old Northamptonian, eh? My missus works there and taught Matt for a while.

We went to our friend's silver wedding anniversary "do" - such is old age! They had hired Fountains Abbey near Ripon - and very nice it was too - specially as the weather was OK in the afternoon & evening - and when the Abbey shut to the public - we could walk around and look at the ruins & water gardens with no one there - very peaceful.

Too many wasted weekends, especially at beer festivals, suggests that starting easy and working up to more alcoholic drinks gives a better evening though a worse following morning. Starting on the hard stuff first gives a shorter evening, but the hangover isn't as bad - as generally you pass out before you consume as much.

The problem I had, was that the server that the ESXi sat on could only connect to a single VLAN - which restricted how I could use it somewhat.

Silver wedding "do" at Fountains Abbey....nice...

GenControl is good for a temp fix - as long as you are an admin - it puts the remote end on for you

From our experience, if you are introducing a lot of fairly decent res CCTV - I'd advise putting them on a discrete network if you can - the 20-odd we have here really yomp up the bandwidth!

Hi - just getting this up and running - very nice...but...trying to add a new group, it always comes up as "Undefined" - has anyone got a fix for this? Thanks

We do it with SmoothWall - then we can allow them on a tightly controlled whitelist rather than a complete ban, though we still get teachers coming in all the time saying that little Johnny absolutely needs to get to Polish game sites to complete his coursework...

Today - peppered roast beef with cream cheese & horseradish...

Ditto to that - did a backup and downloaded it - and set SW up as a VM and restored in about half an hour when we thought we had a problem with the server.

We usually ask for £500.000 in used notes...well if its good enough for royalty...

Cheers Tom = I looked at the SB Radio - but it got really mixed reviews on Amazon - it put me off a bit - but you've had no probs?

Hi - looking for a new radio/music player for the kitchen - anyone used one of these or similar - any good? Thought with DAB radios being so expensive it would be daft not to be able to utilise the music on my media server.

How bizarre - this has just happened to us with 3 A300's that had not even been unboxed - after a lot of prompting from our supplier (big thanks to Roland at Kelway), Toshiba finally told us what to do - though flatly refused to admit there was a problem, even though there are loads of similar stories on the net. Fix pm'd!
