Not seen this posted so thought better post it. Following the success of the first Leicester Schools Network meeting we will be holding the next meeting on the 4th October 2010 If you would like to attend please head over to the event brite page The 2nd Leicester Schools Network Meeting - Computer- Eventbrite where you can reserve a place. The agenda isn’t quite ready yet as I am waiting for speakers (if you want to be a speaker please let me know) but I will update the website as soon as I have some confirmed. I am always happy for feedback from the last event so please feel free to email me any. Lastly, if you have any contacts at other schools across the city or shire please let them know.

For those who do not follow me on facebook or twitter. I am sure when I left for work this morning this animal was not part of our household I maybe wrong..

There was a delay at very start of term (but talking 48 hours at the most) but class lists are fine here. Russ

Interesting is this your site? Russ

As said wearing suits at work day in and out so would cost me a lot my other suit which use when going to meetings etc that I dry clean etc Russ

One of the reasons I picked these two as they did not look two bad and more stop gap before brought some expensive ones.. So to recap as long as not wool you can machine wash dry clean only suites on low temp (how low is low) Russ

3 Piece why yes I added an e in by mistake sorry Should say need the jacket to be machine washable as well.. Russ

Machine Washable Suits - Your Challenge This year just to do things differently I started wearing a suit at work (always wore shirt and tie) anyway brought some cheap priced machine washable suites from Primark and Tescos. But ones seen around are black would like something different to add to mix (grey or brown etc). So anywhere know any good online websites (or shops) that offers decent priced machine washable suits in other colours than black. Russ

Can't comment on any other part of there business but certainly can say that had nothing but a good experience from the FITS course. Russell

Openoffice and VLC both have blueprints for them not sure which versions. Russ

p.s If you do a factory restore etc then make sure you set it up as a new phone and not restore back up from itunes (as that would for sure copy some signs of the jailbreak back onto iphone). Russell

To be fair it might leave some signs on there you be surprised how much is left on a iphone after just doing an update like that (you can get about 90% of data back even after doing a wipe of the iphone). To be totally safe do a restore to factory and restore etc (even then might still leave something). But you can claim that a friend did it and then when researched it found not a good idea so restored it etc. Regards Russell

Just had this via email

Maybe keep house, move back in with parents and rent the old house out. That way get an income etc to save up and then can move to Cyprus but also have a chance to move back if it does not work out. Russell

Yes How do I exclude my internal traffic from reports? - Analytics Help

No the very opposite that is what ITIL is for this is very geared towards education. Also they do not teach any method of doing something so they do not teach you to record using paper for example. They teach for example what helpdesk is and what the process are and what a helpdesk system should have no matter what method you use. Russ

@angryTech @ dhicks Yes as said come away with SNVQ (same as NVQ level 4). I have added some links with more information. In terms of prior knowledge a basic understanding of IT support but after that nothing major is needed. While aimed at technicians do not think that this course is only useful for people starting out. I have been working 10+ years in education I found it useful. In terms of content (didn't go into great detail as didn't want to make article even longer than it is) you cover following. Service Desk Incident Management Proactive Processes Problem Management Security Management Change Processes Change Management Configuration Management If you look at the outcomes at bottom of one of the FITS foundation pages it gives in detail the course areas that it covers.

It makes sense as more important things to spend money on. This way the schools out there get to deal with some complicated timetable issues (you think uk schools have it hard) with free software. Regards Russell

I believe they plan to run nova-t in satellite mode what that gives you I am not sure. Regards Russell
