I listened too but I didn't think it was as funny as when I first heard the original radio broadcast. Maybe it will pickup over the remaining five episodes.

The original series recently finished on Horror Channel. From the looks of the trailer, I think it looks terrible. Very PC (just like the Star Trek reboots). No more fun.

Heritage Library System - Cataloguing lookup problem
unixman_again replied to cprelude's topic in Educational Software
Step 1 - restart the Heritage server. It had been my experience that this fixed 95% of Heritage problems. Step 2 - reinstall Heritage on the offending PC. Actually remove Heritage, run CCleaner against the registry, make sure all the files are really gone before you reinstall. Step 3 - go to the pub, 'cus I'm out of ideas (or maybe get some support from Heritage). -
Mine is a lightscribe, but I've never used that feature. In my case, it wasn't a waste of money, as my ancient PC only had a DVD reader and the portable unit has been a godsend at two schools and one stint in private enterprise. When I upgraded my box, it now has a DVD writer, but I've still got the old one just in case.

1. How do you delete records from the Completed Tasks list? (I did find out how to do this once but I've can't find it again) 2. We have are Device Groups as shown. We have disabled some settings (eg Internet Accounts) in the All Macs group, and then enabled selected settings in the Staff Macs group. The staff Macs are not receiving these settings. How do we ensure that they are? (I have a feeling that we have a basic lack of knowledge in how groups work) Thanks in advance.

Opera and ballet top a list of 13 cultural activities YouGov put to the British public - click me Here are the full results of the survey there is breakdown by age, gender, income, social grade, politics, eu ref vote, region. I find this to be a bit strange, as I go to the ballet regularly and there is no way that I'm posh. I started watching ballet in 1976 when I was at university. At that time I was heavily into punk, and indeed I still am. I also like early music, sculpture, paintings (especially pre-raphaelite) and wrestling. I just see myself as well rounded. (No sniggering at the back!)

Mirror Buys Express Titles From Richard Desmond - BBC News
unixman_again replied to 6Foot2's topic in General Chat
Great comment on the BBC news website about this "Celebrity magazines, OK!, New! and Star....are for people who have no IQ reading about people with No IQ who have succeeded through sheer luck back stabbing and getting naked." -
Mirror Buys Express Titles From Richard Desmond - BBC News
unixman_again replied to 6Foot2's topic in General Chat
This was really badly reported on BBC breakfast this morning, when Naga Munchetty said that he was buying the Express and Star. "What, one of the last independent newspapers is closing!", as I spat a mouth full of cornflakes across the room. I have since found out what is really going on. The Express & Star is safe and the only decent paper in the Midlands - The Birmingham Fail is a joke and the Post isn't far behind. -
Doing my first delay repay claim from West Midlands Railway and they have removed the option to receive a cheque I'm mulling which of the available options to go for.

When I ran Koha, the LEA blocked Z39.50 on account of them not knowing what it did. We had to jump through hoops but we eventually got it upblocked.

I used to run Koha, but it was a long, long time ago. The Z39.50 servers are useful in that when entering books via ISBN, they will contact a server and return the title, author, extract, etc. You can link to as many as you want, although the more there are, the longer the search will take, especially if one of the servers in the chain is down. We used to link to three, Library of Congress, National Library of Scotland and British Library. The first was good for none fiction, the second for fiction and the third mopped up. For awhile we had CLIVE in the mix. I have no idea where it was, or why we linked to it, but it was often down so searches took forever. We didn't bother about book covers, but from memory you could link to Barnes & Noble for this, and I assume Amazon also.

Yes it is, but you try and convince staff to walk outside of their office or classroom to collect a print. SMT need wield the big stick and reduce the number of printers (good luck with that). We have Papercut and pull-print, but you try and convince office staff that this is perfectly fine for confidential prints. Oh no, the printer must be in their office, otherwise somebody can see their print job.
