Not too bad for us this year, we'll be: Setting up 60 new laptops Installing new 3Com WX1200 based wlan in one block Migrating user data to new server Upgrading email system and moving it to a new server Rebuilding Squid server (its not happy) All for the getting drunk suggestion too Richard

Thanks Grommit - gonna need it! I will certainly keep you informed. I wish I'd read more about this sooner in retrospect. Unfortunately I spend most of my spare time doing work for the school. Irony at its best eh? Or heartbreaking depending on your point of view... Btw - my money is on RM. I'll eat my hat if they don't get it. Cheers

Pretty much what I expected to hear. We've got a month or so before our LEA finalises things, so I'll keep my head out of the sand and keep fighting even though it looks bleak. regards

My apologies. I should have read previous posts more. Its been a long and difficult day. Regards

Hi people I'm just wondering, finding myself at the cutting edge of BSF (ie redundant some time in the not too distant future) , has anyone effected tried any union involvement? Surely I pay my subs for something? I'm not wanting to update my CV just yet, having given 15 years of my life to my job. So I'm curious what paths people have followed to try and, well, keep their jobs. My LA is not open to discussion even though they're going through the motions of consultation. They're planning to replace my team (7 of us, and we're always busy) with 1 LEP techie! Cheers **paranoid disclaimer** My views are my own and not that of my school, etc. etc.

We too use squid We used to use something called Squidalyser (or similar) but found it very processor intensive. It automatically updated a MySQL database every day, and allowed searches by username. Also, you can then choose to see all sites per username, all traffic, or just images. You can also set up groups of users or keywords to search for. I guess it would work best with a dedicated machine to run the database - running it on the same machine as Squid got us lots of 'slow internet' reports. Right now, I've got a couple of enthusiastic uni students manually checking the logs in their spare time, using 'grep' on linux Works well. Also, I have been invading ICT lessons to do a demo of how we check the logs, and how we can see exactly what they did. No problems recorded since! I'm thinking of getting the head of ICT to build my demo into the curriculum. Will save me lots of time if the kids take it on board.
