  1. Morning Yes, a lot of our sports kit is sponsored, some by parents or alumni (either privately or their companies) and one by a very nice member of these forums. And after Saturday we are getting swamped with sponsorship offers for the 1st rugby team with numbers you wouldn't believe...!!! To answer @elsiegee40 question, we aren't part of that scheme but we are a rugby academy and help deliver rugby in several of the local primary schools, the boys do it as part of their Community Sports Leaders qualification they do in Y12 enrichment. Our Head of Rugby is going to look into it though so thanks for the link. @tj2419 PM me and I'll be happy to answer your sponsorship questions off-line Andrew
  2. Thanks for the links. We are thinking watch as she does a lot of cross country eventing and doesn't take her phone out with her... I know kids huh, wasn't like that in my day either!!
  3. Nice idea but we are all IOS 10 slaves in our house....
  4. What would the esteemed masses recommend for my 15yo daughter? She would like a smart watch that has gps tracking for when she's out riding her horse (she wants to track where she goes for her DofE) but like the cheap skate I am I don't want to spend much on it as she'll probably stop using it/lose it anyway... Thanks in advance Andrew
  5. PDQ Deploy & PDQ Inventory, fantastic value for money
  6. click on Admin, then Tracking Info then Tracking Code You should find your unique code listed there Andrew
  7. This week I've done five lunchtime runs of 4.5k each at a pace of 6:30/km (including Thursday while Doris was at her peak!) and also refereed a football match which was another 7k's and I feel really good at the end of it. Plan to do the same again next week. Really starting to feel like I'm back to the fitness levels I was at before I broke my foot 2 years ago
  8. Just walked through the centre of town and I see the outside seating at the cafe is about 20 foot to the right of no doubt where it was earlier this morning. Other than that, I spotted one wheely bin tipped over and a couple of ducks making little headway trying to swim into the wind on the stream. Some idiot opened a window in the Chapel though which resulted in all the paper on my desk rapidly forming a pile to my left. Chores for him later....
  9. I've got the south facing doors and windows of the Chapel I'm sat in locked as the wind is that strong opening the doors is almost impossible without losing a finger or two. The airbase up the road is currently reporting 55mph gusts and 39mph sustained. Apart from that, one 10 minute hail storm at 7am this morning and now a nice sunny day. But then it's always nicer down South
  10. Can the PMs menu option be added to the "What's New - Today's Posts" option? I spend most of my time there and it would save a couple of clicks... Yours being lazy Andrew
  11. Mine used to all run via UNC but last summer I changed it so all our login processes run locally from the SSD's and it's made a massive difference to login times
  12. Can't help you with movies but we set the Not Logged in screen saver on our PC's as follows 1) Find a copy of the old ssmypics.scr and copy to c:\windows\system32 2) Create your folder structure. A NLI screen saver must have rights to the folder it's in... Ours is c:\system\ss\LI and c:\system\ss\NLI These folders are refreshed on every login just incase anyone ever finds them!! 3) Import the reg file below Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop] "ScreenSaveTimeOut"="60" "ScreenSaveActive"="1" "SCRNSAVE.EXE"="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\ssmypics.scr" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop] "PowerOffActive"="0" "PowerOffTimeOut"="0" "ScreenSaverIsSecure"="0" "ScreenSaveTimeOut"="300" "ScreenSaveActive"="1" "SCRNSAVE.EXE"="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\ssmypics.scr" [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Screen Saver.Slideshow] "ImageDirectory"="C:\\System\\ss\\NLI" "PaintInterval"=dword:00000000 "ChangeInterval"=dword:00001770 "DisplayFilename"=dword:00000000 "MaxScreenPercent"=dword:00000064 "DisableTransitions"=dword:00000001 "AllowStretching"=dword:00000000 "AllowKeyboardControl"=dword:00000000 "MaxFailedFiles"=dword:000003e8 "MaxSuccessfulFiles"=dword:00010000 "MaxDirectories"=dword:000000c8 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Screen Saver.Slideshow] "ImageDirectory"="C:\\System\\ss\\LI" "PaintInterval"=dword:00000000 "ChangeInterval"=dword:00001770 "DisplayFilename"=dword:00000000 "MaxScreenPercent"=dword:00000064 "DisableTransitions"=dword:00000001 "AllowStretching"=dword:00000000 "AllowKeyboardControl"=dword:00000000 "MaxFailedFiles"=dword:000003e8 "MaxSuccessfulFiles"=dword:00010000 "MaxDirectories"=dword:000000c8 Hope that helps Andrew
  13. I'll be watching with interest, my guess is they have discovered exoplanets that potentially could sustain human life given their proximity from whatever star they are orbiting. About as much use as a SIMS patch without inventing the drive technology to get there though...
  14. Mark Kermode gave it a very good review the other week BBC News Channel - The Film Review, Loving, Gold, Toni Erdmann
  15. OK, never mind, seconds after posting that Google turned up trumps after an hour of finding dead ends... If anyone else ever wants to know, this line does the job Page last updated:
  16. OK, so hands up, I'm being incredibly lazy here but... Does anyone know of a script I can add to each of my web pages on the school site that will read the date the html file was last updated so I can automate the "Page last updated on..." bit at the bottom of each page? IIS server hosted on Windows 2012R2 server. Did I mention I was being incredibly lazy? Cheers Andrew

  19. Hi If you have a minute in your busy schedules any chance you could vote in a big national competition to be the face of Fiona Cork Showing 2017? For those not in the equine world this is a big deal seen worldwide as she's one of the leading saddle makers out there and one of my horses is on the final short-list of five. Most likes wins by the 17th Feb https://www.facebook.com/FionaCorkShowing/posts/1956590767910242 Mine is the big grey stallion Colin who is a champion Highland pony and also a great big soppy doofus. Looks like a unicorn just without the horn.... Any help greatly appreciated. It's currently looking like a 3 horse race (sorry...) with only 5 votes between them so every vote counts. Andrew
  20. We use the LiveWeb plugin for Powerpoint to display live pages on our screens, works really well but doesn't work on every web page out there so your mileage may vary LiveWeb - insert and update web pages real-time in PowerPoint HTH Andrew
  21. My trusty Kingston keys, 4 x 16gb with various software and files on them. They take a terrible battering and keep working, can also confirm they are waterproof and shockproof...
  22. Likewise, I've got a few that are wall mounted in areas with very high ceilings but it's effectiveness and range don't appear to be any different from ceiling mounted devices... I'm the worlds greatest bodger according to our site team but even I haven't used an angle bracket. Duct tape maybe, but an angle bracket...?
  23. Policy here is that all teacher/student email correspondence must go to/from school email addresses - no exceptions. Anything else would be a safeguarding nightmare....
  24. Jumped out of the car to take a pic of this mornings sunrise. Taken on an iphone6 and came out really well
  25. Slightly left field request but my PE department are looking to purchase some wrist based devices that primarily measures heart-rate but could potentially be used for other stuff as well, something like a Fitbit/Garmen etc? However, their funds are limited so they want the best bang for little buck possible so can anyone recommend a cheap and reliable fitness device that would fit the bill? Cheers Andrew
