I am keeping them in line and why did you not come and say hello to me

When you go over to speak to Tim do come and say hello as well Also if anyone wants to come over to stand and chat more than welcome if speaking to me then don't have to speak to sales guys ... Russell

Yes well why have one when can have five Anyway just one this year Russ

I agree yes some features you could use free tools but also lot of features there isn't free tools. Also you are using 30 tools instead of one. However that is more a philosophical debate more than anything. Russell

Well I think Christmas really stuffed me also having a fractured elbow is not helping on exercise front... Anyway back on band wagon after xmas.. Russ

@hit and @mrbios Feel free to raise a ticket or email me on rdyas@imperosoftware and we can take a look. As shutdown should be no issue what so ever. As for wake on lan these issues are more often down to PC configuration. I have got a in draft KB article can send you that to work through. As said if want to raise a ticket or email me we can look at it for you.. Russ

Just reading Bob Holness has died... BBC News - Bob Holness, former Blockbusters host, dies aged 83

sshh don't tell anyone anyway that don't worry got me on stand this year Russ

One thing will of interest is to see if we see some of ultrabooks start to filter through or do we have to wait till next years BETT. We might have to wait as lot of companies will be releasing ultrabooks at CES few days before and will have to see if any stands manage to arrange something to get them onto the stands... Stones website have said will have some. As I can see ultrabooks will become very useful within the education sector lightweight and long battery life.... Russell

Thanks for all the kind comments

Will be there Tuesday night through to Sat night... Russell

Happy new year to all...

Every shop that sells over 32kg of batteries a year needs to have a battery bin by law so most supermarkets will have one just need to ask a member of staff where it is.. BBC News - Battery recycling rules in force for stores Russ

Interesting as you said lot of it could be be transported to non IPad tablets as the pedagogy will be the same.

If you put a low score on them I am pretty sure your account manager plus few others get notfied automatically. Also they use to be used as part of your account managers performance review.

Hello Karl If 3rd party tools above are not waking it up sounds like PC settings stopping it. However if PM me the school details I will give you a call and remote in and took a look... Russell

Have to agree in fact can get filtering on basic but that is for home users only..

Hi Just pasted some info from KB article we are creating to diagnose WOL issues. If still got a problem PM the school details and I will give you a call.. Russell Checking To See If Client Is Accepting Requests. Please check that the machine can be woken up by a third party tool (some tools at end of this post) this will help you diagnose if the problem is with the Impero server sending out the WOL request or with the machine receiving the request. If Third Party tool does not wake it up try the following suggestions (Step 5 and drivers is often the cause if Windows 7): - Checking The Computer Settings Make sure that WOL is enabled in the BIOS Check that ACPI enabled in the BIOS. Please note that Microsoft® Windows® XP should be installed on systems with ACPI enabled in the BIOS. Systems which do not support ACPI or are set to APM in the BIOS may not work correctly. If your system is set to APM, you must change this to ACPI and rebuild the workstation - you cannot simply change the setting without re-installing Windows. Make sure that the computer is powered in some way for example turned off but plugged into the mains supply. Check to see if the system is alive even when powered off by checking that both the network card and the hub/router link light is flashing. Check the drivers of network card are the latest manufactures network drivers and not the default ones from the operating system. Check that within Windows that the network adapter has been configured to allow WOL. Check in Control Panel - System - Hardware - Device Manager - (select network adaptor) - Properties - Advanced. Some computers must be powered up before they will respond and they have been correctly shutdown in a controlled manner. For example if you disconnect the mains supply, you must reconnect the mains supply and power up the system at least once. WOL & VLans If using WOL on a network that is VLAN’d then you should note the following: - You will to have to make sure that either switches are configured to allow directed subnet broadcast through the different subnets or make sure that there is always a machine on within each subnet running the Impero client. This can be for example a server in each subnet.

First thanks to @andy_b he pm me with a link. Thanks for all the offers. As for why. A friends brother was on it (he was a builder in the episode) however they had it on their BT vision box and it died. I said would have a look if could see it on net anywhere (looked in usual places) just in case we had some closet DIY:sos fans hiding on EG. Russell

This long shot has anyone got hidden a copy of the following diy:sos ep.. Season 22- episode 3 - broadcast 27th April. They were at Stoke-On-trent... If happen to have it I need to get a copy of it etc please.. Russell

Hope had a great one..

Can I find this documented anywhere. I know that discovery.exe take parameters but can I find what ones it takes... Russell

Hi Let me know if got any more problems been bit manic as we had a few telephone issues with the phone provider which complicated matters today. Anyway give me a shout if running into any problems.
