400 PC's and laptops now with SSD's, mostly Crucial or Kingston 120GB's, another 250 to upgrade as we have decided to go 100% SSD by 12 months time. Like others, no plans to ever buy old HDD's again as the performance gain is impressive (even teachers have noticed the difference and we've never told them we changed the disks....) Andrew

I've always used 123 Reg in the past without any issues https://www.123-reg.co.uk/domain-names/cheap-domain-names.shtml Andrew

I had a nice sea view over the harbour and a room to myself in Poole hospital the other week and I hadn't even paid for an upgrade

Here's mine.. As someone who lives deep in the heart of the New Forest can I thank you all for all the trees you are saving Andrew

Hi We are currently looking to renew our comms contract for our switchboard and I would just like a quick straw poll as to the competitiveness of the following call charges on a three year contract:- Local & National 1.5p per min plus 1.0p connection 0845 numbers Peak 4.3p, off Peak 3.8p plus 1.0p connection 0870 numbers Peak 2.7p, off Peak 1.0p plus 1.0p connection Mobiles 8.4p per min plus 1.0p connection International 3.0p per min plus 1.0p connection Anything there look overly expensive or is that about the same as everyone else is paying? Thanks Andrew

Delayed opening until 10:30 for us after a couple of inches of snow overnight. Large rural catchment area so the right call IMHO.

His cover of the Pet Shop Boys classic "Always on my Mind" wasn't very good...

@Dos_Box Nice to meet you, small world... Andrew

Would a 90 minute drive south be too far for you? If not, may be able to help you... Just checked - got loads of 160 Gb WD1600AAJS (SATA 8MB Cache) in storage after a mass SSD upgrade in the summer Andrew

Quick and dirty solution: Replace the code on the old page with this Bit neater solution: Change the DNS entry for the old site to point at the new site Much neater solution: Use 301 redirects https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/93633?hl=en Hope that helps Andrew

Sadly not, from memory it was a mug in a home media server shaped box

Or you could do what I did last year. Take your partner who was in a fairly low cut top who went up to every stand with anything decent to give away and used the line "my boss has bet me £5 that I can't blag a (whatever item we wanted) from you" and points at me. You would be amazed what we came away with!!! And not once did I get my badge scanned

Just been told this morning that I'm not having my operation to wire my broken foot back together until next week so BETT here I (slowly) come Changed plans slightly, now coming up Thursday evening on my £10 megatrain ticket, going home Sunday night so two days at BETT instead of three and I won't get the use out of the swimming pool in my hotel this year

Hi Exactly the same issue here and starting to tear out what's left of my hair. On any idevice, mobile.twitter.com works fine in safari but the twitter app won't show the timeline and just times out with the error "The tweets aren't loading right now - Please tap to retry" Clearly either the app isn't fully proxy aware or there are different url's in use by the app that I have blocked. Anyone got a list of url's for the app that need ublocking? Cheers Andrew

Thanks, lots to look through there, I'll pass them on Cheers Andrew

I'm looking for some clock software for my OH in her SEN department that needs to tick most/all the following boxes:- Free Portable (quite rightly she has no installer rights to the C drive) Digital and Analogue clock displays Countdown timer Stopwatch My google-fu can't find anything with it all. Does anyone know of anything and make my home life just that little bit easier ? Cheers Andrew

Never mind - unrelated human error.... Andrew

Morning all. Running Dansguardian for years, no issues. This morning all my twitter pages that have timeline widgets in them have stopped displaying, just see the "tweets by @abc" and no content. I've checked that nothing new is in use and all I can see is the usual twitter.com, t.co & twing.com Anyone know if I've missed another url that's now in use or just done something daft (possible...) Cheers Andrew

Hi. Sorry to dig this thread out from the dead but I thought it was easier to continue this one than start another and get duplicate answers.... I asked this question back in May 2014 and got some fantastic answers. Now this job has made it to the top of the pile and I'll be looking at this with intention to install (as well having a look at potential solutions at BETT next week). Eight months is a lifetime in technology so has anyone got anything else to add to this thread with regards to recent developments in IP CCTV technology or recent hands on experience? Thanks as always Andrew

The good reason:- Our website uses twitter heavily with a subject specific widget down the right hand side for every different subject. In science they want a merged feed on the home page for science and the specific subject feeds on the subsequent departmental pages. Thanks for all the suggestions thus far, will go through them and try and find a decent solution Andrew

Hi Our science department has four different twitter feeds, Biology, Chemistry, Geology and Physics. What they want is a fifth account "Science" that automagically has the content updated/RT from the other four accounts. There is a good reason why btw Had a quick look round but can't see anything that easily does this. Is this a faf or have a missed a simple tool that can do this? Cheers Andrew

For those of you planning travel by National Express coach, there is a 10% discount on fares if you book via the BETT site... Bett Show 2015 - Plan your visit to Bett 2015 at ExCeL London

Fair enough. I've done all days over the years (doing thur-sat this year) and I tend to find that earlier in the week exhibitors are pretty tight about giving anything away as they are worried stock won't last the week if they go too mad too early
