  1. Zimbra offers Open Source email server software and shared calendar for Linux and the Mac.
  2. Just tried it - works OK. Is there anything on your connection that could be preventing it from downloading or corrupting it? Zipped: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/41938/Spotify%20Installer%20%281%29.zip

  4. Is it really our responsibility to monitor the likes of Securus? I would suggest it's more to do with the behaviour/pastoral side of things.
  5. Are the ladders OK?
  6. It had to be done. I'll get me coat now
  7. I'd go nuts if any squirrel ate away at our cables.
  8. It might be just me but I don't really get news aggregation websites like those, they've always just seemed full of rubbish. I much prefer going to a site I know I like, opening interesting articles in new tabs and just reading them. RSS is also just an unnecessary middle-man between headlines and the stuff I actually want to read.
  9. Or instead of paying, I could create a script that uses freely-available tools to strip the first and last 5 seconds of every track I download.
  10. Where are these for? Can you turn the wind down to zero so they stop blowing? I can see that getting very distracting.
  11. RM CC3 network with roaming profiles - logon for a new clean profile takes a maximum of 35 seconds. Cached profiles usually take about 15 seconds or less depending on workstation specification.
  12. Capita, Microsoft and the UK Govt - all one big conspiracy?
  13. I don't think Capita would be happy about that.
  14. Who needs Becta when a conglomerate of costly ICT managed service providers know everything about everything, especially when it comes to ICT in education?
  15. Make your mind up whether you are an 'I' or a 'We' - you use both in different bits of text.
  16. Quick and easy: Google Docs & Spreadsheets. Create New > Form.
  17. Check the NFS bit of the Ubuntu wiki to see if there's anything obvious that's been missed out - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo
  18. This crossing is on Google Street View: Ffynongain - Google Maps For those who want to assess the signage
  19. I believe Securus would do that, yes - and that is all it would do. But the way that comment was worded suggests that your entire home/personal emails would be searchable. E.g. "they" would have access to your entire Hotmail/Yahoo/ISP emails. Which as powdarrmonkey said, it totally untrue.
  20. ♫ I know a voice that'll get on yer nerves, get on yer nerves, get on yer nerves.... (Not implying yours does Hightower - just the mention of that name brought that song back)
  21. Even worse, I bet. Shop around and have a look at the current "best rates" on the MoneySavingExpert website for ideas.
  22. Strange one that as well... last year I had a payment set up with Black Horse Finance, and they sent me offers of loans. At one stage I could have done with one, so I called them to ask further. As it happens, I wasn't approved - despite the letter offering me it and having a current payment with them at the time!
  23. We've had our own internal email service for about 6 years now, which can easily be monitored by us; and since 2008 we have had a bad word filter when we upgraded to Zimbra. We do not allow staff or students access to any third-party email services. This was our own policy even before the LEA stipulated only one email service was permitted per-school. It's all standardised, it's monitored, includes anti-virus scanning and the school is in complete control. There are no reasons to allow third-party services. But we are an 11-16 secondary.
  24. For the country that pioneered the railways, it strikes me as ironic (and highly frustrating) that we have a relatively pathetic and expensive train network compared to many other countries.
