  1. Herman Miller Aeron chairs you can get then 2nd user well worth the money.
  2. The thing is conductor-less trains do exist and are all over the place already so its all a bit late to be campaigning against it. I use TfL Rail (formally an AGA route) and its conductor-less, all services near as makes no odd out of Liverpool Street are conductor-less and this is the same on other mainline stations its just how technology has improved over the years, train CCTV on doors / edges etc all helps. London Overground shows that all carrages have CCTV to the driver so you can see the doors and platform CCTV monitors show the edges etc... its just progress sadly. Also in this instance no-one is loosing a job so just stop making a mess of things and move on.
  3. CMIS is very flexible for report writing if you know MS SQL. You can get guides from the support site, data dictionary and courses were run when I used to manage CMIS in my last job. It was, in my opinion, more powerful than SIMS for reporting if you knew SQL but different people say different things so that was my view from using both others will prefer SIMs as its word mailmerge style.

    Should have eyewear that is built in for this purpose
  5. *mod note moved to "how do you do it...." forum as its more what do you do if your in a MAT / Group etc...*
  6. I used to do Promethean IWB Serial Connections via Cat5 that way and it worked ok for them
  7. Put the ESXi on the SD Card and save drive slots, we run ESXi on probably around 100 servers now all on SD Cards and no issues they are just great, do ensure for VMware support you get a certified SD Card (the ones HP and Dell sell with the servers for ESXi are usually covered) as they have to meet certain tick boxes to qualify for VMware support.
  8. I have a Nescafe Dolce Gusto and its great I have the full range of pods from Amazon get them in a big bag and its assorted so had some of the US ones as well as UK ones like Nesquick and peach tea
  9. When I had lifts in a place they were set to call switchboard rather than a monitoring centre but to be fair they were not monitored by a big firm like Kone and were tested manually once a week and logged in the H&S book on-site. I would certainly be looking to push them to fix the lift interface for it "failing" its call so frequently but it does depend what your contract says I guess if it doesn't say anything about how many calls and the number then your probably not going to be able to solve much.
  10. Have you seen if ICT Direct have any? you never know what is lurking in the treasure cave they have!
  11. Pre-booking Edu-Dinner is complex we've hardly ever managed that yet..... Also you being that efficient You mean you all keep stalking near where I work and dare not say Hi....... myself and @Domino could fall out with you all Hey I suggested TKTS and just go and enjoy Sounds good but some people maybe dying of Man/Woman Flu by then due to dirty visitors....
  12. No The Pipeline didn't go posh it was forced out by hipsters and posh chicken :'( We are homeless now!!!!!!
  13. I would suggest you need to read your T&Cs and other contractual documentation in this instance to see what is / isn't covered. SB have not failed but the supplier to them has, the failure of the line supplier to deliver is usually not covered by the reseller as they are the hands of them and I am sure SB are doing the best they can to get this on and working for you and putting pressure being TTB/OR if its them that have failed
  14. You know my job @robk I could be in outer mongolia tomorrow for all I know..... I would suggest Tkts and go for a Wed PM as its usaully a dead night in theatre land so get numbers plot etc and someone goes to TKTS in the day and gets them
  15. The only time I had that was when the receptionist kept covering the mic hole on it and trying to eat it when using it as it was always fine with the AM user but the PM user was the issue.....
  16. Avoid a BMW then Go for something else German from VW perhaps a nice Passat if you need a big boot or Golf Estate, Skoda Octavia is also a good choice They also include working indicators unlike BMWs
  17. @Little-Miss will be round to steal it shortly I'm sure.....
  18. We've said a few times we should do this but it always falls down / nearly falls down so well volunteered

    Advice please

    Cisco wifi is pant IMHO, where I work we have, at last, replaced all our Cisco with Ruckus. Other members on here like other makes but Cisco certainly isn't high up the like list. On-costs is one thing with Cisco hardware, SmartNet is not cheap, other makes such as HPE Networking (which is starting to be badged Aruba) that doesn't have any yearly support fees unless you want 4hr replacement hardware etc... the hardware is usualyl cheaper and better spec as well than Cisco. I suspect someone is doing the old adage of you won't get fired for buying Cisco when reality is you shouldn't just look at Cisco you should look at other makes. I have also used Juniper in a school and been incredibly happy with that and the lovely folks at @Net-Ctrl were my vendor for both the Juniper and Ruckus. To give more specifics such as exact models people are going to want more info such as load, expected use, desires etc...
  20. If they are a registered charity the CT Exchange as was is the best place for Charity Licenses. This is who they are now - https://www.tt-exchange.org/ I did my Local Age UK branch years ago and it was about £100 for everything we ever could dream of, Server, SQL, PCs etc.. and we also go some cheap Cisco kit and they had offers for other things that they liked.
  21. Mormon doesn't really have cheap tickets that often as its always in high demand. TKTS - London Theatre Tickets can help for some shows but its only 3 days from today basically so its good for last minute. Myself and @robk use them quite often for cheap weekends on theatre. https://www.todaytix.com/shows/london is also a good app but again it has lottery options and cheap ones but not always planning ahead. For mormon its just a buy it and enjoy
  22. @Little-Miss was hiding in a corner when he smart watch failed and went weird....
  23. You will need a 3rd party service IMHO for it the built in in 2010 is not good, you set the basic settings but if your getting spam'd you will need 3rd party such as FOPE from Microsoft or A.N. Other product. This link may help - http://serverfault.com/questions/356482/setting-scl-value-on-emails-in-exchange-2010 and this blog https://exchangneer.wordpress.com/2013/10/31/junk-email-filters-for-exchange-2010-and-outlook-2010/ has some notes that maybe useful for you as well
  24. I can vouch on that its great and slim once you chop out all the server ranges you don't own, for us I keep in the DL, ML and BL and much better sizing and quicker to process.
  25. *mod note* two threads on same topic merged into one
