Love this!

Luckily I don't frequent coffee shops often, in case I order an expresso. Ones that annoy me are: "Should of" when it should be "should have". Plus...

When can we discuss Picard? Re NA Season 2, the report I read seemed to think they might go down the "in the world of The Night Agent" route. With characters returning, but not necessarily with such prominent parts. Re other Season 2s, "Wheel of Time" has started to release casting announcements so I guess the wheels are turning on that one at last.

Mostly the trolleys aren't the problem. Staff not ensuring the devices are returned to the correct trolley, or even returned, is.

Anyone using these iPads as a sign-in book? Somehow, despite me forgetting to remove the proxy (which happened when we changed supplier/filter in December) they have been working OK until recently. There is a "working to fix a problem" banner on the web version but, since removing the proxy to effect updates, the software on the pads is showing as Offline whilst Safari is fine. I did have to hotspot to do the update, though the school iPads update OK, so it could be our filter (though why they still seemed to work earlier in the year is a mystery). Anyone experiencing similar problems?

Someone needs to check their maths. (The 30% isn't correct, either, but at least it's a saving).

I think that adding milk in this way most closely resembles what you drink at home if you don't have fancy equipment and have milk in your brew: You make a black coffee and stir in milk. Other "coffee shop" milky coffees involve different methods of adding the milk.

I'm sensing the frog pond awaits me. Must try to fight the urge.

a) It does. b) How do you know that the black coffee drinkers aren't lactose intolerant? How rude!

I try to order a "black coffee" unless the "barista" really doesn't get the concept. Millennials and their fancy names for simple things. Anyway, back to tea. The Professor states it must be "the shade of an acorn" and, obviously, Herbal? No thanks!

1 for coffee, 2.5 if I have to have tea. That said, I thought that

Saw the Picard series finale last night and loved it. Had a few nit-picks (will wait until after the weekend to post those in case of spoilers) but otherwise, near perfect.

Our source path isn't in the config, but in the bat. Decided to push a load of stuff via the config, so it goes on a bit. I've bolded the bits I think are critical: [b] [/b] [b][/b] [b][/b] [b][/b] [b] [/b] Our 2021 config has a few more tweaks, but might have some stuff that is of use.

I call ours with a batch file that points to the location where the setup.exe and configuration.xml. The "Office" folder of downloaded stuff is also there. Not sure the last is necessary. "\\Server\Path\To\Folder\Office2019\setup.exe" /configure "\\Server\Path\To\Folder\Office2019\Configuration.xml"

They seem to regularly give a free month to new subscribers; just wait until you have enough time/shows to binge and use new details.

The last lines in our xml are: Apparently Display Level="None" means nothing visible, but I've yet to see anything so I'm guessing the EULA bit is more important. Maybe the D Level refers to any possible problems with the install?

MS Licensing/costs are pretty labyrinthine. You might be better off asking one of the forum sponsors who are also resellers, like @VeryPC. That said, if you're using InTune, do you not already have a licensing agreement in place?

Britons who keep gardens green should get council tax cut, study suggests Hopefully a BIG cut - we'd score pretty highly!

Sure you've checked this, but just in case: Do they have stuff stuck to the sides of the boards/panels?

Renfield (Cinema) Dracula's familiar is looking after his master in present day New Orleans and attending a support group which helps him to stand up to the count. Funny, and incredibly violent action/comedy. Looking at the BBFC site, I wonder what films would warrant 5/5 for violence when a film where people's heads get punched off, faces get ripped off and arms get ripped off and used as clubs gets 4/5. If the trailer amused, probably worth a look, though not really a "must head to the cinema" one. The action scenes suffer from the usual "too close to the action" filming (made worse by the "sped up" nature of the fights) but, at a lean 93 minutes, it doesn't outstay its welcome.

One of my schools was an early adopter and we found a problem (can't remember what it was now) but the fix was in place within a couple of hours. They're bigger now, so I'm not sure if they're still that lean, but then the quirks should have been worked out by now!

My 3 KS1/2 schools all use Libresoft. I love it as I rarely have to look at it! We don't have it integrated, but I believe this is possible at extra cost.

Jeremy Renner has a new show where he repurposes vehicles for various usages in communities. The title is, of course:
