@bmaloney could you answer the above as I dont think my school has received your request. So i'd like to warn the member of staff that has the contact email.

Finished the module 'Technical Support Fundamentals' over the weekend. Whilst I knew a lot of it already, some of it was a nice reminder of things id forgotten or not known about. Working on the next module now. Id recommend it to anyone either as a new person to IT or seasoned IT worker.

Or anyone with a job title as an email, my last school I worked in my email was [email protected] I was getting loads of emails randomly about anything and everything.

And in turn making more work for you and schools. @bmaloney Out of interest, are you keeping this FOI going until you get a response from all schools contacted?

Gah it's ruined Action man!!

Snow at my Hotel in Perth this morning.

Ive been working my way through this https://www.coursera.org/specializations/google-it-support Ive been in IT for a while and this has taught me new stuff. Its £36 a month.

We have the latest Chrome on computers but some of the legacy software we use in some departments does not work on newer browsers. The software itself hasn't been updated and we keep telling Staff to find an alternative for when we roll out Win10. Currrently Win7 with Chrome

I save up all change including 10p, 20p, 50p, £1 and £2 and then put them into my bank. I only ever pay cash at the pub. Everywhere else I go I pay with card. I do keep £20 in my wallet in case a shop does not accept card.

Thats how low you'll have to go with us. Or Chrome.

IE10......

I've seen on other forums that they have this type of thread so i'd thought id start one here. So I bought these yesterday Bose QuietComfort 35 (Series II) Wireless Headphones, Noise Cancelling Got them for £269 with next day delivery and the site uses Amazon payments. They normally retail for £329

I thought that too a while ago, but the videos are still ok in terms of content at the moment.

Just tried accessing it and our LA has categorized it under 'Mature'. So you may want to check the site in a bit more detail.

Clearly not awake as I read the title as Goose pod.... Have you tried putting a classroom machine in your computers OU?

So post your subscriptions away!

You leave your laptop unlocked in a shared space in school with nobody you can see whilst you pop to the toilet.

Also cut out fizzy drinks etc and drink plenty of water. Ive not had a fizzy drink this year and drunk mostly water. My skin is so much better for it too.

Not a problem, Get yourself a training buddy too if you can, that way you can motivate each other too. Also check in here too.

Use the app My Fitness Pal, I record all my eating and exercise in it. Walking and cycling are good for weight loss, but do core exercises at home like squats, press ups and sit ups. I have an app called 30 Days Fitness Challenge which takes you through core exercises. Ive not been to a gym at all this year, just been swimming, cycling and walking when I have had time. Ive not got any recipes as I tend to eat meat/fish and veg or soups. The key to loosing weight is a calorie deficit. Make sure you loose more calories through exercise than you eat.

@LeMarchand I signed up before my last school went to Academy, still using it since then and not been told my account is being closed. I now work in a school in an Academy trust but isnt a full Academy yet. Mind you I dont think our LA really checks anything as Im sure I know someone who hasnt worked in Education for years and still uses it.

looked into it before and this is what I emailed a teacher before. "It looks genuine but reading more into it, if you sign up then your details get passed onto the different ‘Perk’ websites when you access it so you will be receiving quite a few unwanted emails for the more ‘Perks’ you sign up to. This page on their website explains it https://www.teacherperks.co.uk/legal/your-data" Does your LA have its own rewards site? I found our LA rewards site had better rewards etc than the teacherperks and your data is kept safe.

Another weigh in day. Another bit of weight lost. Since the 1st of January I have lost 9lbs through eating less than 2000 calories and minimal exercise. Going to increase the exercise now that my injuries and Snow has gone Aiming for a stone lost before end of this month.

Been snowing since about half 12 in South East Kent. Forecast says till 10pm.
