Training will be available for a candidate who has the relevant aptitude and experience, although experience working with Apple Macs (particularly networking with Active Directory integration) is highly desirable.

  3. We're looking to expand our team! Full details and application form can be found at the website below: IT Technician | reigate college Ash Farbrother, Associate Director of IT Services Reigate College
  4. One of my team has defected to database development, therefore I'm looking for fresh blood! Full details of the job are here. Closing date is the 21st of October. Don't forget to mention in the application that you saw the job on EduGeek, as it means I have an idea of how effective posting this was. Good luck!
  5. Been playing around with the online demo of this and have been quite impressed, especially for the price point you're selling at. One thing that interests me is the custom fields. Is there a way a custom field could be defined as either a drop-down list or a radio button? The main reason I ask is that our current (elderly, homemade, abandonware) Ticketing system has a drop down list of locations, and also request sub-type (Software, Hardware, etc). Is the ability to define custom fields in that way something that's in the pipeline or easily doable? Or even a way to tie the location into the Asset tracking side? Many thanks in advance, definitely interested in this product but obviously want to see if some of the existing features we're used to can be replicated in your system.
  6. I've got 10 Invites for Spotify cached. Anyone wants one, drop me a PM with an e-mail address. Like the meerkat says... 'Simples!'
  7. Unable to connect here, unless i'm doing something particularly muppet-headed. Which, y'know, isn't beyond the realms of possibility...
  8. Build quality is a case of 'cheap and cheerful', It's solid, but neither it nor the remote are going to win any major design awards, but y'know, they work. It has one LED on it. It's Red in Standby and Green when on. It was absolutely diamond over christmas, combining it with 720p MP4 files aquired via Get iPlayer Automator... Christmas TV Never looked so good!
  9. I picked one of these up: Buy a Hisense 1080p HD TV Media Player (LAN UPnP, HDMI, Optical Audio Output, USB Port), #MP800H_Blue - eXpansys UK I'm sure there are slightly more graceful solutions out there but at the end of the day this costs £60 and plays damn near everything you can throw at it. Even plays VIDEO_TS folders from DVDs with proper menu support. HDMI output and optical output. I regularly use it to play back 720/1080 video files. Supports multiple audio tracks and subtitles. I usually run all my media off a memory stick or a nice portable 320GB drive I picked up. It does support DLNA/etc via its built in ethernet port but I've just never got round to trying that. El Reg review is here: Hisense 1080p Media Player ? Register Hardware
  10. Definitely up for it. May even try to drag the Senior Tech with me, if the powers that be think they can survive with two techs. Chorley eh? That's somewhere up north...
  11. Or indeed, Aberdeen.
  12. Can't remember if I ever posted this before but i'm Greebo T Cat on XBL. Currently I can be found running around FarCry2 being an ass with a sniper rifle.
  13. Second this, I have wonderful things about Gower, keep meaning to visit there. Of course, if you're retiring to Wales you want to be careful you don't end up here. Plenty of coastline, true... but some pesky weather balloons.
  14. So I mentioned this advert to numerous people at the Edugeek stand on friday. I was reminded to post about it here as everyone would have forgotten about it by then. BUT NO! If i'm not allowed to forget it, neither will any of you be. Behold the horror, the utter drudgery that is Microsoft Songsmith! And for Added pleasure, what happens when you feet it some vocals from a real song.
  15. Highlight of the BETT show this year is a toss up between time spent chatting on the Edugeek stand with Dos_Box, Zerohour and others, and the time spent on Lenovos stand blagging some of their A4 'notebooks'. Easily the coolest freebie I've encountered in my few years going to the BETT show. Was mildly disturbed at ZeroHours ability to apply every new technological breakthrough to the further development of porn...
