  1. That's a shame. Maybe an E-420 or E-450. Both available in the dual lens kit mentioned above, but without the articulating screen. I'm recommending these because they're small. They're also at your budget point. You should nip into Jessops, or similar and handle them and others.
  2. You might consider an Olympus E-620, which is a relatively compact SLR camera that has the advantage of an articulating, or swiveling, screen. There is a dual lens kit which covers a good range from quite wide to quite tele. Currently on sale around £700.
  3. Course T189 with the Open University is to be recommended.
  4. Hello. See if SuperDuper is what you want: SuperDuper!

    Finder Hanging?

    I used the following to help me figure out why the finder was taking ages to become responsive on log in. Maybe it will help you: Create a new user (you may be stuck at this point if you can't access an admin account) Log in as new user run terminal run command: top -l 120 -n 5 -o cpu > top.txt Switch user to one that exhibits the problem Wait for aproximately 2 minutes before switching off Restart the machine and login as the new user Look at top.txt and see if it has identified a process that is hogging the processor Hope that provides some clues All the best.
  6. I don't disagree that there are failings with SIMS. My issue here is with the continual hijacking of threads like this one and transforming them into something else. As a resource for those in schools trying to solve problems and run systems, threads such as these contribute a lot of noise and may (certainly in my case) prevent colleagues from posting for fear of provoking the ire of [insert system here] detractors and not getting the assistance they had hoped for from their visit.
  7. - not your individual contribution/s but a general trend among a group of contributors to move a thread (and countless others around here) away from an OP's request into, well what is it? Baiting, posturing, expressions of passive aggression, etc, etc, etc, etc.
  8. Maybe they're revolting against the motivation behind the change request. If it was somebody who has been reading this thread, which was initially a request for assistance, they may be hacked off with its coercion into what appears now to be an argument and rather than being drawn into that, have expressed their distaste by voting against the proposal.

    Mac Purchase

    Have you seen this page: Mac Buyer's Guide: Know When to Buy Your Mac, iPod or iPhone
  10. Log on to the OWA admin site and change the values: https://servername/owaadmin Choose the Forms-based authentication link Set the values for Public Client Timeout and Private Client Timeout to suit your site.
  11. You could try Purgos - Softulz.Net - Purgos WMI based network and system administration software - not much action on the website, but it works.
  12. did that fix it?
  13. Hi there, Quick reply: I hope I've attached a diagram to this post. Does this match your setup? If it doesn't, are you able to create a diagram that does? I can't speak for others, obviously, but it helps me to see things. Regards, Nic
  14. Try: /usr/bin/vmware-uninstall.pl
  15. I see my plan to avoid reading the manual worked. Seriously though, thanks, I'll give that a whirl next time I have to.
  16. Hi, Editing dansguardian whitelists is not terribly difficult though. Your colleagues need to know which are the appropriate files, how to navigate to them and how to edit them correctly. I use mc sometimes and nano sometimes via ssh. mc is great for this kind of thing, because it's visual. I'm sure your colleagues will get the hang of it quickly. How will they restart the dansguardian service to reload the new lists? I don't know what gui service controls there are for Ubuntu, but typing /etc/init.d/dansguardian restart on the cli is pretty quick imo. Anyway, hope you have great success with your project.
  17. I like to ask cold callers to email me the details of what they are offering. I then proceed to spell out my email address and hang up half way through the first bit. Another strategy when receiving marketing calls is to go completely silent on them and listen to them saying "hello, hello," etc until they get fed up and hang up. Childish.

    Of course there are.

    KDE! Yuck! ;-)
  20. I'm pretty sure they don't offer this, but Netsweeper is fairly versatile and you can (if I've read the manual correctly) ask Synetrix to create a new group - a range of IPs - which you can then apply separate filtering policies to.
  21. LGfL URL filtering is generally delegated to schools. Try to contact your LA contact who should be able to provide you, if you are representing one or more schools, with a username and password for the Netsweeper system that categorises Edugeek, because of the forum, as 'web-based' chat.
  22. Sorry, the printer has been disposed of, and the toner has found another home. EOF
  23. Hi, I'm not at the school this week, but will let you know. I'll mail it FOC if it matches the picture. I suspect it won't though.
  24. I'm checking with the school now to see if they've made it to the bin yet...
  25. Post away... Printer is currently being used as a coffee table in staff room.
