Just looking at file Gareth what version of client was on that machine out of interest I think I remember conversation with dev team and they have changed few of start up things will have a word them tomorrow as if we can give you a even faster start up then heck see what can do... (even I wouldn't say impero is adding that much time to your login script). Would like to know why got two imperoclients running through will run tool over my test network to double check not normal behaviour through.. Russell

I doubt it is Impero service as that starts very quickly and also Impero is running at the login screen? However if is give us a call Gareth and will gladly help you through it. Russell

Well as said not perfect we even get it wrong and you joke someone has called me russdev over the phone... Russ

I am going to leave it at that as don't want to come across as advertising just wanted to say thank you for kind comments.. Russ

if want to limit for example who they could phone etc then no it would be a all or no solution via either blocking via exe, port or url... However if want to stop them accessing features and adding skype credit. Then might be able to use combo of skype business client which can disable parts.. Then maybe able to use skype business accounts and limit them access to adding credit but then they could just login into there own account.. What is main issue you feel stops you from using it with in the school? Russell Russell

Just had this via email..

We don;t know how it was funded could be a special project funded with grants... However as said might draw line at 30 would do 2 at most for a trial.. Russell

Also just seen this via twitter as well.. iPads in Education Don't get me wrong I don't advocate buying one for every student. But buying one and working out what can do is very useful. Yes you have to be prepared to fail you will buy something that might not work the best but I go back to my original point. The first time computers were used in a classroom the exact same was said why waste money when could be buying pencils.. Sometimes need to take risks. However risk can be reduced by having good relationship with vendors who can provide free equipment for you to trial things out on.. Russell

Saw think link on twitter other day with some useful information on schools using IPad.. iPads in Education | Scoop.it While I agree about aims comment and buying for sake of something new. Sometimes you need to buy a product and see how it can be used otherwise computers would never had been used in schools. First time computers were used in schools people had to figure the best way to use them.. Russell

In last job used wiki and documents store on KLP (sharepoint) but have used mediawiki heck edugeek wiki was on dokuwiki long time ago... But just had good idea through...

good find Tony Thanks another to add to Itunes.. Russ

As few people have contacted us over problems A2Z seem to be having. Like Rob said Impero was never owned by A2Z they were our main reseller a few years back but we have been selling direct to schools as well via other resellers for number of years now. Impero is growing stronger every day and Impero has not gone bust.

Well done mate.. Russell

Just for peoples info Leon cynch has organised a crowd sourcing of the creative archive downloads. He has setup a dropbox He will make it available to people working in UK schools to download. Learn 4 Life » Teachers’ TV Video Archive - the next stage There is some very good content on there so if can help by downloading some files then do so.. Russell

You can buy McAfee via LEAMIA but other than that no. Russ

Well done mate... Russell

That is like having cpu in your number plate that would be going to far.. Russ

I think first thing is a wiki to document stuff (also make sure staff add to the wiki when you set something up not afterwards)... Make that basics that everyone puts info up there but the key to this is as soon as info is up there get together 15 to 30 mins max for that person to give rest of you the highlights. Last but not least get a day in summer (and easter holidays if can) and set it is training so that all of you have time to get bigger things across. Russell

I am in two minds about this ask question yes but fairly obvious that CEO was not going to give him anything after first question he asked so to try and ask it in same way seemed silly.. On other hand it was a valid question...

You know what I am glad for once not managing a network.... Russ

We had this with a batch of machines and was down to the motherboards in them (msi if I remember right).. Russell

@Shaun Now you just being mean blocking it up As for API yes please would certainly make life easier reading threads on here... It is interesting as it was my 'job' per say to read all posts I did now that not my job but want to keep up to date with things on edugeek.net I can see how hard can be for people to keep up to date with posts on edugeek.net. Russ Russell

@SYNACK That is what I want rss feed just looking through js files for the feed url... Once done that I then can import rss into evernote via tarpipe.net Russell

Wondering will not fund hardware but what about software? Russell
