Brundle tweeted about this. Apparently, the teams have to stay until 2020 to gain from the TV rights deal and other pieces...so if they pulled out, they wouldn't get the huge payout. Or some such...

Was gutted when I heard the news at the tail of last week. Only a week before I had made the decision to start reading the Discworld books again...probably due to National Book Week, and as part of the stuff going on at work, I had to nominate my favourite book. I chose Guards! Guards!. And so it is, I am halfway through The Colour of Magic and I want to read all 40 books

Mine is here: There is a lot more stuff in here now, as these were taken 18 or more months ago when we were still moving in!

I've always wondered what my leaving gift will be...one day, I'll find out!

I don't find it that bad! Once up and running, it is a piece of cake to use

I'll be honest, the first time we set it up, it was a bit of a faff. Now, we have it running pretty damn smoothly. We have the administrator dashboard, and admin service installed on the Exam Officers machine, and the Invigilator Dashboard installed on the teacher machine at the front of the class. The test player is then, obviously, installed on the student machines in the room. The only small faff we have is when students are taking the tests, we step them through setting the connection to the Invigilator machine, as it does not automatically pick it up. I normally will do this loudly in the classroom and ensure that all students have connected. It is, for its hassles, actually a decent piece of exams software, and bar any students screwing up by exiting the software unnecessarily works pretty seamlessly

Haha, no problems. Obviously, I can't guarantee it is the same on your 5250's, or be held responsible for anything that goes wrong

I have watched the engineer do it on our 5350's. And it seemed relatively simple. Top cover, take all toners out, unclip the coloured plastic bits, and unscrew some screws which then releases the black cover tray to access the drum units etc. That's a very brief view, but the engineer does it in about 5 minutes flat, so picked it up!!

Even when the monitor is receiving a signal from the PC? You can't access the menu whilst in power save mode, so I just had to put the PC to sleep every time I wanted to test.

It was a menu setting for me. When I pressed the menu, the first OSM menu screen was blank with just a small F in a box. I pressed the 'enter' key on the monitor, and at the bottom there was something about reset. After I had done this, the issue stopped...however, I thought I had done this before. I had performed a factory reset on the monitor as well beforehand, but not sure if that made a difference! Quite vague I know...but something happened that resolved it!

SOLVED! I'm not sure how though....

Autosearch was set to Off. I have read the manual, and can't find any mention of what we are experiencing whatsoever! Cheers for your help though!

PC mode was selected. I changed it to Eco, but made no difference... If it helps, there is, what looks to be some sort of timer, on the screen whilst the colours flash away...

We have a lot of Hanns-G monitors on site, all the same model (HE225), however, on some of the monitors, if they are receiving no input, they decide to do a really annoying power save mode whereby it likes to do a presentation of the various colours on the screen, and doesn't stop (unless the power cable is pulled out). On other monitors, where the monitor settings are exactly the same, the screen is just black, and stays that way until the PC is turned on or woken up. It isn't the most subtle power save mode in the world at night, when the machines are off, so does anyone know what is causing it, and how to remedy it?!

iPhone 6 on a Tesco SIM-Only deal

That's perfect, cheers...I knew it would be something simple. It didn't require the quotation marks either. It has functioned perfectly on a couple of machines, so yet to try it large scale, but early indications are that it should be successful!

Hi, I have been asked to add a brushed file to the Photoshop installation on a suite of our macs. Short of logging on and doing it manually on all machines, I was planning on using Impero to send the file to the correct location, but I can't seem to get the right format to type in to the custom location box. I have tried "/Macintosh HD/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CC/Presets/Brushes" but it doesn't want to copy. What am I missing?!?

Imagine if he hadn't had all the "bad luck" that has come his way all season. Car failure in Australia, brake disc failure, engine fire etc etc

Same here. Been in for 8.5 years and it is becoming samey. Think I have just lost the ICT desire now, and going through the motions a lot of the time

Roll out a brand new VDI infrastructure for around 300 devices install new monitors in 4 ICT suites Tidy up of all rooms Ensure everything is ship-shape Don't break anything

We have used Foldr before, as a trial and it is an excellent piece of software. Getting the students to log in and out again all the time may prove to be full of issues though I guess. I am trying to convince our SLT to purchase the full version, but no luck yet!

meh...Pizza is goooood!

Same as me then. I'm looking to buy myself a car. Just something small!!

How is this enforceable in any way, shape or form!? Students with younger siblings that they need to pick up, contact with parents to let them know they are home etc etc etc. Keeping for a week is unenforceable in any way!! I am surprised that local media haven't had a field day with parents complaining etc!

the basic tech task we have is a CD of cover work that needs to be put on to the network, in a specific folder, in a specific location, with a specific name. We unplug the CD drive ever so slightly so that there is power to the drive, but it isn't being read by the PC. Ultimately, they have to diagnose, identify and fix the fault, and then ensure that they copy the data to the right place. It sounds simple, but it shows us their quick thinking, safe working practice, ability to fix issues, as well as their ability to follow instructions and navigate network locations. It also must not be as simple as we think as we have had people try and open the PC whilst it is still running, catch their ties in the fans and some who just don't know what they're doing!!
