After a few days off last week i come in to be greeted with our SAN down and it will not come back up! stuck on initializing! Warranty expired in March this year. of the joy! needless to say i am not having a good day!

probably a repost but brilliant all the same

???????

we have chat disabled here. was every think of other than that? reliability ok? What is this RealSmart? any good?

Have any of you attempted this? We are thinking of hosting student resources there, the students already have a google account for email, we get loads of free storage etc seems a logical step. we dont want or need anything complex as our syllabus is simple and students all learn and study a the same/similar. thoughts?

yep i play full 1080p videos quite often. its a great system - best money i have spent in a long while for the amount of use i get out of it. a great feature i have found is the ability to use my tv remote to control it via hdmi!

i use XBMC (on a Pi!) as a player and as such use SMB shares but also have a backup of serviio running.

i worked in an RM school. it involved rebuilds all the time, when updates were out some would require rebuilds to all stations. new school is none RM, rebuilds are only needed if a rebuild is quicker that solving an issue or is needed ie new HDD. makes life so much easier!

honestly the support is great! when i started here i had never seen it, didn't give it much thought, after a month or so of being there we got a 'how are things' call from them from which we arranged a tour of the product and explained the support. they are really nice people and seem a great company. we use it loads now. its really powerful! from remote msi installs to remote task manager.... no i am not a sales rep lol

what is going on!!! i leave for a short time and your all talking twoddle!

could really do with picking someones brains about Cisco Unity and Call Manager. Specifically setting up auto attendant/switchboard. Our office want a 'Press 1 to speak to....' I did a test the other week on my line and it worked, now i cant for the life of me find the guide I used. If any one can render assistance I would be eternally grateful.

do i have to work longer hours? if so i want to be paid accordingly. will the holiday calander be shorter? i should be able to book time off in term time. although saying that where i work we have less holidays (4 in summer) and the kids to 8-4 mon and fri, 8-5 tue, wed, thurs. its bloody tiring tho! i do 720-410 and was in saturday just gone, sometimes a week off isnt enough. to note i am still restricted to booking holiday outside of term time with the exception of TOIL days.

We are looking to host a whole load of resources online for students at minimal cost. each student needs a login etc. To this end we are thinking Google Drive. The students already use GMail. Has anyone any experiencing with Google Sites? I have looked at a few example sites and they dont seem overly professional. I am also looking at Joomla and Wordpress Plugins - any advice or experience here?

WALK. Myself and my SO went the other year for her birthday, we got off the train from CDG at about Notre Dame and walked from there to the Eiffel Tower and several places inbetween. Although we only stayed for one night so wanted to see alot and walk around. NOTE: if you are thinking of going to the louvre, take lots of money and be prepared to queue!

as said its no imediate concern but apart from teachers i dont know any folks (or havent discussed it) that have 3 mo notice periods. thanks all

contract says 3 months, i have heard people have bartered down to 1.5 months and others have just left after a few weeks and handed their badge on the way out.

Whats your notice period? I'm not thinking of leaving but I have heard that ours is 3 months! Seems bonkers to me!

600 users seems bonkers too me too

Licence updating of £10k due this year. The box has ignored its self when told to tidy its self up after XX% full, support said dont worry, it got 100% full and fell over. TBH we dont have a support contract but i was looking at getting on then the £10k bill came in. its gonna cost us more to move but future costs arnt so bad

We are looking at changing firewall away from Smoothwall. we are currently looking at SonicWall. What are folks using here? We require VPN, filtering, firewall etc.

with this is there any way to get the data used 'properly'. by this i mean if you live in a small town/village that has no accurate online weather from the met office/bbc/yahoo is there a way of setting your self up as the station? its annoying when i look on my phone and its inaccurate and have thought about doing this at past and present jobs but never really investigated it.

im late 20s and i use both. i find it easier looking at something small and saying "that 10" long" and not 25cm long but the longer something gets the more i may say "thats 2m long" meh

Does anyone carry out vdu testing? we used to at my previous place but am wondering if its still a requirement Does anyone have any posters regarding workplace ergonomics?

yep all 3 far too many times!

i used to go on digg and hear about reddit, tried it once and thought it was silly too. then i went back for some unknow reason and now im hooked. there is a good article some where about all the people it has helped but i cant find it now. this includes things like the old man who was to be alone for his birthday in a home and reddit sent him bag loads of cards. to the African villager who was attacked with a machete when trying to defend his village, reddit raised a load of money and built them a wall to keep folk out. but this article lists its power and some achievements 19 Reasons Why Reddit Might Be the World's Most Influential Website
