BT, Sky and Virgin "hijacking" browsers to push porn blocks
unixman_again replied to Arthur's topic in IT News
It's interesting that plus.net, which is owned by BT, don't block anything (thankfully). -
You can actually do this with a real piece of paper - Paper Snowflake Patterns | Printable Templates & Coloring Pages I found the above when I was searching for snowflakes to make the tutu for Snowflake ballerinas I had one hanging from my barre yesterday for the last ballet class of the year.

We have fire drills and we do have a written procedure for if a gunman appears on campus. Basically it says lock all the doors, stay away from the doors and windows and call the police. I thought is was a joke until it was mentioned in staff briefing some time ago.

We have three teachers on the IT hit list and when I tried to contact Carlos the Jackal he was "unavailable to take my call". This looks ideal

I assume these are generated on the fly somehow. I dragged the map to where I live (an average street in an average part of the Black Country) and while not 100% accurate, my house is there. When I look at the college where I work, only two of the buildings are shown. Still the pub on the corner is there

Moodle problem - Cannot access at all
unixman_again replied to witch's topic in Virtual Learning Platforms
netstat -ano | find ":80" | find /i "listen" will show you what is listening on port 80. The last column is the process id, which you can find in taskmanager to see what service it is. AFAIK there should be 2 lines displayed by the command for 1 website. -

The IIS message means you have two sites trying to use port 80. This might help Event ID 1007 — IIS Web Site Availability I suspect teh MySQL error is a red herring. -
We ran the Linux Terminal Server Project on the student desktops at the first school I was at. We used Fedora. The kids always said it was carp, but since they only needed an office suite and web browser, it did the job perfectly. With PAM authentication and NFS, everything just worked as it should, and gave us no problems at all, unlike the M$ systems which the office staff used for CMIS and M$ Office. (To be fair, CMIS was the main culprit here.) Staff laptops were a pain too, needing to be reimaged about every fortnight; staff would take them home and their kids would bugger them up.

It has been my experience that Windows Event logs never show anything useful. What is the MySQL error that you are seeing? -
This is a scan of a book, which I had until some lowlife stole it. The used to be a website which catalogued all of the ACME products featured in the Loony Tunes but sadly it died some years ago. This is the closest site that I know of that is similar is The Illustrated Catalog of ACME Products which I think has links to the old dead site.

AFAIK there are two IIS logs, both of which are pretty useless IMO. The first to look at is inetpub\logs\LogFiles\W3SVC1 and check the latest file. AFAIK these are the equivalent to the Apache access.log file. The IIS error log is usually in c$\Windows\System32\LogFiles\HTTPERR and AFAIK are the equivalent of the Apache error.log file, except almost nothing of any use is logged here. When I'm trying to troubleshoot a problem with a website served by IIS, I invariably install Apache on the box, leaving the website files as is. Apache logs way more meaningful messages in the error.log file and once you've sorted out what is wrong, you can always go back to IIS. -

You know I never knew the Demis song had three words in the title. I've always known it as what everybody said is the answer. Too clever for my own good.

Setting up 2 classroom sets of new PCs, with monitors mounted under flip top desks (or they will be if the monitors arrive), short keyboards (just has alpha and F1-F12) and normal mice (I couldn't convince them to go trackball - I use them and I can't understand anybody who doesn't!). Moving out 2 classroom sets of old PCs to vacate our rented space. I guess we'll redeploy these eventually as they aren't bad machines.

I made by boss a mug of coffee-T at my last school. I said I'd chuck it out and make him what he wanted (a cuppa tea) but he drank it anyway. After that, he always said that I made a lovely coffee-T when we had visitors.

I have rollers rather than a turbo trainer; can't use a turbo with a Brompton, but rollers are dandy, in spite of what know-it-alls on the internet say.

You go into work on a school closure day, which I have done. I've also managed to get lost on the drive to work, after I was working at the place for three years.

Brompton T6 - actually it's a T3 with a T6 conversion, one of the first on the road with this mod.

With an automatic, it's not an issue. I find driving a chore and with an automatic, it is one less thing to do. I eagerly await the self driving car, so I can sit in the back and be delivered to were I want to do. I could, of course, achieve this at the mo with a chauffeur, except I can't afford one.

Just been asked for a development plan . . . .
unixman_again replied to bodminman's topic in Blue Skies
In 15 years time, XP and IE6 will still be causing us problems, with teachers still wanting to use their pet bit of software, which only works on the aforementioned combination.
