I just roll our own with a php script writing to a mysql database. Once the first one had been written, it doesn't take long to copy & mod it for whatever questions they want asking.

Didn't Alice have gender reassignment and become Oliver? At the first school I was at, we had Alice but we had support issues, and the librarian didn't like it. so we moved to Koha which we found very easy to support and the library ladies loved it. Where I am now we have Heritage Library Management Software which (AFAIK) is very expensive, but they support it completely, apart from the occasional server restart.

Ask them what happens when the hardware budget runs out.

My nice blue theme has been replaced with a black one too.

I wonder if Ford will sue Microsoft? After all, Cortana is easily confused with Cortina. Oh, perhaps not, a Cortina was useful.

Agree. If like me you hate riding in the rain, include a set of rollers, or maybe a turbo trainer, and you can still ride when it's heaving down. Personally, I prefer rollers as you still have to balance as you pedal. Mind you, I do like to run on the treadmill in the gym - it's brain out and go for it. I can't run outside for toffee - you have to look where you're going.

All of our students and staff have Office 365. For files saved in their home dirs, they copy them to cloud and back again. They manage this just fine.

Pump the iron in the gym, ride my bike and take regular ballet classes. There are a couple of shows a year that I get to dance in; even though I'm rubbish, it is great fun.

We're running one and to keep it as realistic as possible, we've got a proper polling booth with a proper ballot box and somebody is going to be counting paper ballots by hand.

I really only use Firefox and Chrome where my ad blockers work extremely well. I opened the page in IE and yes I see what you mean about popups. I'm glad that I don't use IE.

I've often wondered if the world exists purely in someone's nightmare (it certainly wouldn't be a dream) and when I go to sleep, if that is reality.

People whose favourite colour isn't purple are just plain weird! (IMO )

We have one 2012 R2 server running php-5.5.14-nts-Win32-VC11-x86 just fine (it has to be this version). I've setup another 2012 R2 and installed this php and when I ran php -v at dos, I got the message msvcp110.dll is missing. No problem, I downloaded and installed Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 (64 bit) and got the same result. Checking on the working box, I found the offending dll in both windows\System32 and windows\SysWOW64 but on the non-working box, just in windows\System32. I copied the dll from working windows\SysWOW64 to non-working windows\SysWOW64 and ran php -v. Same result, ie message about msvcp110.dll is missing but when you exit this message, php displays it's version (it didn't before). Obviously this message will prevents IIS from running php, and display a 500 server error message. Any ideas on how to fix? ?#@*&%! dll's

I would paint horizontal stripes and when I was told to remove those, go the orange route as suggested by pooley, although I would chose purple.

+1 Meraki. That's what we use. We have a trolley of iPads for MFL but exactly what they do with them is unknown. This might seem strange, but since we rolled the trolley in there at the start of the year, we haven't heard a peep from them. Best support job ever! Some of our staff have iPads and these are controlled by Meraki too. Apart from them wanting the odd update, they don't cause us any bother. This is the trolley we have Compucharge iMate32 iPad Charging Trolley

I've used similar products and they aren't much cop. Sticking plastics together is notoriously difficult and I've been able to pull the block off with my fingers. This will however, slow down the thief who will grab an item and run off with it, which might be all the security you need.

Australia has interesting laws concerning prisoners: "If you are serving a full-time prison sentence of less than three years you can vote in federal elections." "If your sentence is three years or longer, you can remain on the roll but you are not entitled to vote until you are released from prison." I suspect the three year period is as a result of elections being held every three years; if your sentence is less than one parliament you can vote but if it is more than a parliament, you can't. Prisoners can either vote via a postal vote or if a mobile voting team may visit a prison.
