  1. you might find something on UK and Irish Radio Stations broadcasting on the Internet
  2. When visiting my brother on his farm back in NZ a few months ago, he had a novel way of heating his swimming pool... about 200m of black alkathene piping running back and forth across his roof, with a small pump from an old washing machine, and both ends of the pipe going into the pool. The water was coming out of the pipe 3 degrees warmer than it went in. Free solar heating (apart from the small electrical cost of running the pump, and the piping which he had spare anyway) We've also just had 86 solar panels installed at School: Fronius SolarWeb

    Star Trek

    I saw it 2 nights ago. His comment about sandwiches was the funniest line in the movie!
  4. We're going to be putting cameras in birdboxes soon too. Any info you could pass on would be appreciated. Ta.
  5. I just played this and one of my cats was in the room. It freaked out and tried to find where the "other cat" was...
  6. Are the apps installed on the phone memory or on a memory card? What happens if you take the card out?
  7. mmm NZ beer... what sort?
  8. I've got a strange problem with Shockwave 11 (both 11.0.x and 11.5.x)... The MSI seems to install fine via GPO but when you visit the Shockwave Test Page as a user the Shockwave window is completely black. It works fine if I log in as an admin user tho. I've had to revert to 10.1 Has anyone else had a similar problem, or had a version of 11 that's working OK?
  9. Maybe it's a new type of battery (a bit like you see done with potatoes?) to replace the need for a UPS?
  10. Try NZ instead... it's much nicer! (but then, I'm biased )
  11. Unfortunately I *need* an MSI version, and we only have Office 2003 so the 2007 plugin won't work for us either. *pout*
  12. Does anyone know where I could find one please?
  13. I'm having problems finding an MSI version of PDFcreator. Am I being thick?
  14. Oh. Did he indicate any sort of timeframe for this? Apologies to Plock for slightly hijacking his thread (but it was related, sortof...)
  15. I've got a teacher wanting to use C4's Catchup Player to play this: Catch Up It played the adverts and then stopped. After a little digging around I found this link which has fixed the problem on his PC: Security component upgrade However, this is a manual process. Does anyone have an automated solution? e.g MSI I can deploy via Group Policy or suchlike??
  16. Working OK here. A scheduled task on the SIMS server runs every night and send updates to Fronter.
  17. I love House. Numb3rs was good. I'm *really* looking forward to the next season of Californication... I've got a load of Fringe episodes Sky+'d - only seen the pilot so far. Just this ONE scene was enough to make me look forward to the rest of the series: "Where are the chemicals? I'm going to count to One.... ONE!" I had a mouthful of dinner in my gob at the time I saw this... it nearly ended up on the other side of the room!
  18. I have streamed radio from Planet Rock on quietly in the background all day.
  19. hmmm, 3 things on my list this year: A bottle of Joop! AC/DC's Back in Black CD The Foo Fighter's last album.

  21. nothing here either
  22. At present we have many rooms with 4-digit electronic keypads. This causes multiple headaches. Namely: Each lock can only have 1 code, and if the code needs to be changed it has to be done manually at each door. Many Staff make little-or-no effort to key in the PIN code with any form of discression, and the students soon learn the code. Once the students know the code it spreads like wildfire and then the rooms then become unsecure. I've even witnessed Staff shouting out the code to a student by the door to open it for them. Staff also constantly forget the codes so we keep getting asked what they are. I'm looking for a proximity based (not PIN keypads, unless this is also used in conjunction with proximity cards/fobs) system which can be setup for lots of doors (i'd like to increase our number of controlled doors from 6 to about 12), with lots of users (approx 150), all controlled from a central location (preferably via PC based software). Having the flexibility to allow certain staff access only to certain doors would be a bonus. As would being able to control these for certain days/times aswell.. If a card/fob is lost it can easily be deactivated to stop the "finder" using it anywhere. Will the Paxton or ACT systems discussed in previous posts do this? If so at what sort of cost (ballpark) would we be talking? I looked at the SALTO website, but it looks expensive... Obviously cost is a big thing. Cheap RFID door locks off eBay fill this criteria but I don't think they'll offer any of the other essential criteria listed above. Or is there somethere else out there that anyone knows could do what I need? Thanks in advance Jim
  23. it's the Smurf's 50th birthday this week too. ok, another one... If one synchronised swimmer drowns, does the other one have to too?
  24. are your PC's running a scheduled AV check at that same time it goes slow?
  25. Also not a recommendation, but I remember seeing these guys at the last BETT: School Website - UK's leading provider of web design for schools
