Software installation across the network
K.C.Leblanc replied to ahunter's topic in How do you do....it?
WPKG | Open Source Software Deployment and Distribution Is one option and I would have thought you can make it work with Novell. I have deployed both flash player and Acrobat using it. Works fairly well with most stuff that can be ran as a silent install. Sims has it's own system for applying updates, if it's not working it might be worth contacting your LEA support team. -
Viglen and Stone will both offer 5 year warranties, although they are extra.

The trouble with working on cars is everything always seems to be slightly seized. And if it isn't it's only lulling you into a false sense of security for future occasions. I changed the oil on my old Golf, the filter just unscrewed. It easier then opening a jar of Strawberry Jam. I try the same job about a year later on my Citroen, thinking this will be easy. NOPE! Filter would not come away and I didn't have the special tool. So I had to hammer a screwdriver through the filter. Now the oil pump is next to the suspension pump, so the filter was surrounded by pipes. I ended up having to hammer the screw driver in from underneath the car, so got covered. I was still only able to turn the filter about 5 degrees, so had to repeat the hammering job. Only then would the filter (which now had some lovely sharp edges) unscrew by hand. Any how the oil had drained nicely, so I put the sump plug back in, carefully install the new filter. Fill the beast back up with oil, and check the sump plug for leaks. OH BOTHER, the sump plug was leaking because I'd lost the washer. So I find washer at the bottom of the oil I'd just drained. Since I didn't have much oil and there was no where in town I could buy it on a Sunday, I had to remove the sump plug fit the washer and refit the plug while oil poured out. Thankfully I didn't lose too much.

We have some of their laptops, admittedly from about 5 years ago. They're not great. Viglen had a new version of the Omnimo, which can take any sensibly sized Vesa monitor.

EDIT: Never mind, I forgot chrome installed into the profile.

Video Conferencing Internally

X_lite might do this. CounterPath Corporation | X-Lite Features Comparison -
Is EMBC linked into the Janet Video conferencing service? I think most schools can sign up for free, it's much more flexible then our RBC's (SWGfL) VC portal. JVCS Home We have the same situation, and expensive VC system that's only been used a couple of times. EDIT: If anyone want to do a test conference via Janet drop me a PM.

Did the fitter manage to drill right through the roof when the screwed the bracket to the ceiling (I know a school where this has happened.)

Is there a proxy server they have to connect through? On the domain accounts it'll (probably) be setup in GPOs, on the local account you'll need to use internet explorer settings. -

NEC replacement bulb warranties only 90 days
K.C.Leblanc replied to Gibbo's topic in AV and Multimedia Related
I've only seen them on the stall at BETT, so I don't know enough to recommend them. However if you need something big and orange there's probably better options (David Dikinson perhaps?). -

And surprisingly small. -
This often happens with smaller petrol stations in the UK. It's generally because the station's tanks don't hold much more fuel then the tankers that deliver to them. They use to price to regulate how much fuel they sell, making sure they don't run out, but have enough room to take their next delivery.

DosBox spied my dated yellow Edugeek lanyard and gave me a nice new one, and a refreshing bottle of water. Other then that I didn't get much, I wanted to avoid the tonne of brochures that come with the freebys. ECM/HP and Lenovo gave me some reusable shopping bags.

We find papercut very good. Just bare in mind you need to right support from upstairs to be able to bring in tough enough quotas. We've made a big saving, but it could be much more but no one will give us the nod to place any restrictions on year 11s, 6th former and staff.

Home internet filtering hardware

It's fairly easy to get round, but OpenDNS | Internet Navigation And Security can be setup on a router. -
Maybe my local one if just rubbish, but all this Dominos lovin' doesn't make sense to me, they're horrible.

Is there not yet a Dummies for Dummies book?

Try this, but with Spelt flour. I made a few for a do my mum was having, the only person in the room who noticed the difference was a retired baker. Pizza dough recipe | Pizza recipes & pizza toppings | Jamie Oliver recipe You might need to let the dough rise for a bit longer. Unless you're really hungry I'd halve the quantities in the recipe, I get 4 pizza out of each half batch. Baking your own is much better then takeaway.

What model, if it's not managed it won't do STP. On HP STP can either be enabled using the web interface or the console. Have you tried disconnecting everything from it, rebooting it and then plugging in two machines and just testing communications between the two of them? It does however sound knackered. Phone up HP, quite a lot of ProCurve kit has a life time warranty.

Which version of the Client are you using? I'm running 1.3.9 which is the latest officially stable version. However the offline mode is broken. It seems to work in 1.3.14, which is only Beta. Anyone used this version on a large scale?
