  1. Also consider the Ts&Cs of the platform. Many specifically exclude school use.
  2. Consider that there could be emergencies that are NOT fires. Therefore you still need the "break glass" if you go for readers on the inside, or timed inhibition of the normal button.
  3. And I suspect that very quickly someone from Zero will pop up with part numbers, or a phone number for advice...
  4. The cost of running cables to a remote classroom could easily swamp any cost in equipment to go on the ends...
  5. This isn't a criticism of current, or recent, govts, but ALL OF THEM THAT ALLOWED THIS!!
  6. C13 to C5 (and visa-versa) adapters are available, and you can go from C13 to C7 but only this way as the C7 doesn't carry earth. If using an adapter, I'd invest in some adhesive lined heatshrink to bond them together at least semi-permanently.
  7. Top of a mountain in Iceland is likely to be windy (as well as prone to quakes). Top(ish) of Krafla in August
  8. That, with a stopping distance just short of the horizon, and a crumple zone of 4", was driven on the same roads as E Types...
  9. I should have spotted that it's not my home town. The sun is shining.
  10. In 1973 when we came back from the States, my father had rear seatbelts fitted to the car as an extra. The salesman looked at him like he had two heads...
  11. "Any D&D players on here?" - or "Do bears .... in the woods?" I'm probably in a tiny minority - I don't!
  12. Tree falls across car. When sawn off the root, the root pings back towards vertical. Perhaps too early to blame the Brigade.
  13. How long before some scum-bag buys it up and starts charging for it? (Looking at Cool Edit & Adobe Audition)
  14. The pic is of a barometer, and a weather station we've got outside my office. On the barometer, "Storm" would be about 7/8 o'clock. The needle has dropped below that to about 5 o'clock. 723mm of mercury is very low, about 963mBar. 948 is the UK record from 1954.
  15. They do; which is convenient as we had to move a child's BF's crap halfway across the country last week.
  16. Look at the motherboard in the PC. Look for scorch marks or blown capacitors. More likely that something downstream is damaging the PSU. Unless the voltage is hideously high, which, you'd think, would have been spotted earlier.
  17. ULTRA-OLD?? Lanterns from the 60's/70's will still be usable, possibly needing a re-furb, and will outperform LEDs in SO many ways. Yes, you CAN get high performance LED lanterns with framing, focus and gobo projection, but these are £thousands. Cheap LED par cans are better if you only need to throw some colour around. If this is all that is wrong, have them repaired. Possibly out of a different budget?
  18. Physics tomorrow. Entirely on-line. Woot?
  19. I think "smoking training" is a red herring. It is simple - "thou shalt not smoke on company premises, or in company vans. Thou shalt comply with the law in place at the relevant time". Whereas AUPs tend to be longish documents, covering things that the layman may have no clue as to what it means. (Maybe they should but..) MFA, AUP, and a whole host of other TLAs that obfuscate rather than enhance a document. Of course, anyone HERE will have a nice, simple, plain English AUP, won't we?
  20. I'd go Visio too. It can produce tables internally (or export to Excel) Not used it for IT, but door schedules, room sizes etc.
  21. A bggrs muddle here. School spread over 1/4 of the city. Different plans for different buildings, and a night/wet weather plan too. Not really an option for a "one size fits all" plan, so it may be the best option. We use paper on a clipboard in science. We try to keep the set lists and timetables up-to-date. It is however impossible to be 100% accurate.
