As per the title, if you are do you have it working in IE? It has suddenly stopped loading books and we haven't changed anything. We have been using it since last September without issue until yesterday when the books suddenly started failing to load. My immediate thought was that maybe something in Smoothwalls categories had changed overnight and is now blocking the content. After allowing the domain and also whitelisting it I did actually get a book to open, but when I refreshed the page I was back to square one with the book not displaying. Taking the next logical step I restarted the proxy with a cleared cache, still nothing. I had even moved my computer over to port 801 to bypass guardian altogether, still nothing. I decided to leave it there for yesterday, I have come in today tried it in Chrome and lo and behold it works without any additional rules in Smoothwall. In retrospect I should have just tried Chrome before touching Smoothwall but I just don't understand why this has stopped working. Anyone else had similar or have any suggestions?

ANME Birmingham Meeting 03 (28 April)
foofighterjim replied to RichCowell's topic in Birmingham Grid for Learning (BGfL)
All being well with mock exam requirements, I should actually be able to make this one. -
I may have a save with it on level 8 otherwise its all the way back to my pre Altisia save where it was probably only level 6 and I had next to no ingredients or money

InVentry Staff Sign-In Quick Scan System
foofighterjim replied to MrMDStreet's topic in How do you do....it?
No problem, glad to help. -
I should also be claiming this but my last remaining achievement (Cooking Expert) didn't pop when Ignis reached level 10 It is just so beautifully twisted. I haven't played it for a few years now but the Mad Hatter section always comes to mind.

InVentry Staff Sign-In Quick Scan System
foofighterjim replied to MrMDStreet's topic in How do you do....it?
Success!! I actually made notes on something! 1. Unplug the unit and then plug it back in to restart. 2. When the Inventry splash screen appears press the shutdown quick scan client button at the bottom of the screen. 3. From the desktop use the shortcut to open Microsoft Wordpad. 4. Use file and open to bring up an explorer window. 5. You should be in My Documents, if so go up one level and then down into \Application\QuickScan\ 6. Switch the view to all documents. 7. Open the config file, accepting the wordpad warning. 8. Set the IP address to the IP of the main Inventry unit. 9. Save the file and restart the quick scan again. 10. Test. Edit: Obviously, done at your own risk etc. -

InVentry Staff Sign-In Quick Scan System

The main Invertry unit does not need to be updated with the quick scan IP address, it is actually the other way around. There is a config file on the quick scan unit with the IP address of the Inventry server, you just need to change the IP in this file. Unfortunately I don't have anything to hand about what directory the file is in, I will have a look though some paperwork later to see if I made any notes. -
RM Annual Contracts - up in price again
foofighterjim replied to AlanD's topic in Network and Classroom Management
RM must have misplaced their crystal ball to know exactly what hardware you were expecting to run . Although you do have the ability to import all the drivers you require into the RMMC so that they are installed when you build them to the network. -
Just an FYI, if you are using Aerohive and have access to the NG version of HMOL (upgrade is free to all active contracts) then the Dell N series switches can be managed from this.
-
We are also looking into the Dell N series, I would have liked to have got some hands on time with the kit at BETT but alas they didn't have any on their stand.

Birmingham Network Managers on Link2ICT
foofighterjim replied to mikkydoos's topic in Internet Related/Filtering/Firewall
Fond memories of when that core firewall was installed a few years back and it basically ground to a halt, several days running. We had actually signed our agreement with our current suppliers the week before, time flies when everything is working well. -
RM Unify - Anyone using it answer a couple of questions?
foofighterjim replied to tj2419's topic in Cloud Services
No related to the OP questions but I know one thing RM are close to releasing with Unify is Local AD user provisioning from MIS Data. Definitely one less thing to worry about if you never have to create a user account again. -
Kings College London SAN failure and data loss post mortem
foofighterjim replied to psydii's topic in IT News
This hadn't ever occurred to me, this sounds like a brilliant idea. How did you set the email up? -
CC4 - moving shares
foofighterjim replied to synaesthesia's topic in Network and Classroom Management
RMShared is covered in TEC1554215 but apparently only supports moving to another CC4 DC. I can't find any supporting documentation regarding RMPublic, something in my mind is saying that it has to be on the FRDC (although I am sure I moved it at a previous school). -
Looking at the shark fins can you imagine how badly these things are going to handle on a blustery & wet weekend at Silverstone. A gust of wind going into any of the high speed corners (Abbey, Copse and Stowe in particular) would just turn the rear end around.
-
Just a few that spring to mind: All the Halloween's (although I can't stand 3), I would include the Rob Zombie remakes of 1 and 2 too. House of 1,000 corpses Sinister 1 & 2 Annabelle Insidious 1, 2 & 3 The Shining

And that the patch leads go into the same ports if using port based VLANs or QoS.

We started using it in September, we actually placed our order about a year ago. In some regards it was a tight deadline (like ensuring the student email addresses were present and correct in the MIS) but the big one was giving staff enough time during Summer 2 for CPD, to upload resources and generally prepare themselves for official launch in September. Don't get me wrong there isn't a particularly steep learning curve to Firefly but some struggled more then others (as with all things).

Just finished the story on FFXV, will have mopped up the last few side quests by the end of the weekend I would think.
-
Oh no, caught on camera with my hands in the cookie jar. In my defence it is hard to say no to @elsiegee40 when she literally puts a delicious smelling pizza under your nose, in fact it would have been rude to refuse.
-
Ditto, I actually ploughed through Altissia but then reloaded my save prior to it as I felt I missed out by not exploring it. 100% XIII and XIII-2 but never did finish Lightning Returns, I just found the constant race against the clock too annoying for my normal slow pace explore everything approach. On a side note Alice; Madness Returns is now backwards compatible on Xbox One, so that may have to be played again in the near future.

Primary School SSO Type Functionality - RM Unify?
foofighterjim replied to Bobbeh's topic in How do you do....it?
We are RM Unify customers too and have found it to be very good. There are other products such as Salamandersoft (SalamanderSoft Limited) that would also link in with O365. -
Whats your focus this year at BETT and what stands are you hitting?
foofighterjim replied to Griff's topic in BETT 2026
I have got quite a list of stands to get to this year but I'm specifically looking at: - VI assistive technologies - VoIP - Reviewing internet filtering solutions with our current agreements expiring next year In all I have 22 stands to visit on my "short" list, I think some of those will have to be culled. Although I tend to find I can rack up quite a few after 16:00 when the crowds start dying down.
