We never had a shorts/trainers exception made for the heat, but thankfully the end of term is in just over a week's time and then we'll start the summer break where we can be quite casual anyway. And no teaching staff or students. Yippee!

Red Rising by Pierce Brown. Set on a future terraformed Mars where people are divided into castes and the elite 'Golds' rule, while the masses, the 'Reds', work underground without ever seeing the surface. One Red is prepped to infiltrate the Golds and create a rebellion. A rather superior and well-written Hunger Games / Divergent type story.

I went with Three broadband, increasing our speed, and removing the landline phone too. Costs went down.

We looked at Teams integration but it's pricy. As we have a new Mitel virtual phone system, we went with MiCollab softphone apps which work very well on a combination of classic deskphones and our Android and Apple mobile phones.

Buy a Roku for it, watch everything on the internet? I haven't recorded anything in years.

In the 'I&W'? Yes, agreed, the kerning is a bit off.

At least it still has Chinese actors, rather than being fully 'Hollywooded'.

I'm really looking forward to the new episodes. Charlie Brooker was interviewed on R4 the other day, fascinating man.

...and put your warning triangle out.

We can bypass this with our Barracuda cloud-to-cloud backup, but admittedly that will only suit a few here.

35C is at least 10C above my maximum operating temperature.

The best way to do this is to use Purview (previously Compliance) and perform an eDiscovery search where you can specify OneDrives.

If you already have a Ruckus system with a usable controller, might I suggest you're half-way there? Upgrade gradually to R550 / R650 / R750 APs and you'll be on Wi-Fi 6 with the Cat 5e still being adequate to feed them. @Net-Ctrl know what they're doing, a survey will tell you what you need. Highly recommend the Ruckus Wi-Fi 6 kit.

I'll e-mail you some...

There was a full-on downpour with hailstones just as I was driving home yesterday. From the A316 to the M3 I could hardly see the road edge or lane markings, such was the extent of standing water (more like a shallow river) and spray. Not nice, and max 30mph speed. The noise was incredible!

We had to admit defeat and switch on the aircon. Now there's a storm coming later (already had a big one yesterday).

They're the best kind of drama. Don't pander to those with the attention span of a gnat.

Sometimes the supermarket brands taste nicer and are better for you: both Sainsburys 'Ready Oats' and 'Bran Flakes' have lower sugar content and are considerably cheaper than the Kellogs/Nabisco branded ones.

I find the Gary Oldman character so unutterably sleazy that it's hard to watch.

I finished S1, and possibly the only series, of The Swarm. A classy SF production, international locations and cast, grown-up story and some uneasy moments. My kind of drama.

The square humps around my school are so angular and high that my, admittedly low slung, car grounds on many of them despite my best efforts to exactly centre it.

+2, we backup the full VM in all cases but one: the CCTV server. In that case, we backup the OS drive but not the data drive full of reams of video footage. That's just too much and we can stand the loss of the footage. It'll just build up again. For our 365 data, we use Barracuda cloud-to-cloud backup.

The ultimate generic food. Tastes like anything, fits in anywhere.

@LeMarchand many thanks for that, a free trial that actually worked! After jumping through hoops (and reluctantly giving them my payment details), I'm now all set to watch Silo from tonight

Which is why I'll never be buying a car made past this year.
