Burconix.

Hi, I use Toggleproof for Office 2010/Windows 7 - the comments at the bottom of the page show how to customise it for Office 2013. Hope this helps

This one is also interesting (and dynamic): U.K. National Grid status

We had some custom faceplates made up for more or less the same reasons. The company we used is: http://www.yorkdistribution.co.uk Sadly they don't make a version that connects to a Taser :-(

Ost ticket - free, open source with ad integration - running on dedicated Windows Server 2012 with php/mysql (ditched Spiceworks about 2 years ago).

Export from sims > import csv into Burconix > relax. BCX can link direct to MIS but I haven't tried it yet, otherwise the process would be more or less automatic (if I read the tech docs correctly)

Hi, have you checked they all have the same version of BIOS?

We use blackroosterlanyards.com - very happy with the quality/price (15mm poly custom printed in 8 colours)

Hi, We use an air pump bought from Argos for £25 - it blows air out so saves on air dusters and is very effective. The vacuum cleaner that we used in the past is sitting on a shelf gathering dust...:-) Electric Air Pump Hope this helps, Charles

Hi, Have you looked at http://www.nestbox.co.uk/The-Camera-Zone.html ? I have one sitting on the shelf waiting for a biology teacher to tell me where to put it (only been waiting 2 years for an answer..!). When I tested it the output quality was very good. Charles

Thanks for that, passed it on to our Geography Department

Thanks for the links TBlax - Kacak's Graphics mod is especially delightful

Teamviewer is way better than Logmein ex-free so no great loss there imho

I'm driving the Volvo with a 750bhp engine - was driving sulfuric acid down the autobahn at 90+ mph last night...on the hard shoulder... (nice way to unwind)

And delete/rename the default admin account to something more cryptic - BBC News - Wordpress website targeted by hackers

We've been using Netgear ProSafe GS110TP 8-Port POE switches for over a year now - no issues so far, it was pretty much install and forget. They run alongside our main Dell switches, again with no issues.

We have a couple of Novatech PCs that claim the WDS server is not available... unless we temporarily make PXE the first item in the boot order in BIOS. Maybe Toshiba laptops have the same issue?

All this makes me happy that I work in a girls school - over the course of this academic year the worst we had was 3 damaged mice when YR11 left. Oh, and some strange yellow substance accidentally spilled on a keyboard once

You could always sing it...

That's look interesting compared to this:

I would suggest studying towards one of their IT-related diplomas first. I worked towards the Diploma in Computing (D12) and then carried on to get the Bachelor of Science Open (BD) - I was aiming at a named degree but decided to call it a day in 2007 after 6 years or so of studying. However, the OU can get you hooked so I'm getting my kicks with TM128 at the moment. Not that I studied much of it as I got a new job in a school when the course started - my Network Manager left before the academic started and I was left to manage a High School on my own for 3 months - funny what you learn when the pressure is on... If it helps the courses I did are below - T228 Cisco networking - Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) (2007) MT262 Putting computer systems to work (2006) M301 Software systems and their development (2004) TT281 The client side of application development (2003) M206 Computing: an object-oriented approach (2001) T223 Microprocessor-based computers (2000) T171 You, your computer and the net (2000) Good luck ;-) Charles
