I've just got this after returning from my Holiday and what with catching up on all the stuff I would have done over half term had I been here I've not had much time to play. In the hour or so I've managed to get in the game is fantastic if you can see past the many bugs and glitches. The only changes from Fallout 3 are minor aspects of the RPG elements no major graphical enhancement or major difference in the gameplay. Having loved Fallout 3 its exactly what I wanted and hardcore mode for me is the best thing about the game. It's ups the difficulty of the game overall without just making combat stupidly hard. Anyone else playing it yet?

Joikuspot just works and gives me very reasonable speed, it's only the fact that I haven't used Android's option that I'm wary about the change. Having an app I know works and knowing what sort of speed I would get is a factor in leaning towards this phone. Also recently becoming a father have a great camera in my pocket is a big bonus, any Android phones with similar camera specs? Nokia are advertising the N8 as HD video and 12MP camera

Has anyone got one or had a chance to play with one? I'm due an upgrade soon and thought I'd decided what phone I wanted (Whatever decent HTC with android Orange will be offering at the time) but now I'm thinking the N8 looks nice. I've been well pleased with my Nokia 5800 but it's starting to show its age in some aspects such as web browsing speed etc. I absolutely love the Joikuspot app which is only available on Symbian Operating systems. Other options are available on Android but not having used them I'm unsure as to how they compare to Joikuspot. Other apps on my phone are nice but nothing else gets the same use I just see them as bonuses rather than must haves (Although the SysAid app could prove otherwise). Its Joikuspot along with the excellent Camera quality that I'm finding really tempting. So any opinions for or against the Nokia N8?

I've performed an import of our students into Live@Edu following successful use by staff since January. Besides the standard account details each student account has CustomAttribute1 and CustomAttribute2. CustomAttribute1 holds the value "student" and CustomAttribute2 holds the value of the year groups enrollment. I've since realised there is an error in the year 9 csv file I was sent but due to there being a million and one things to do at the time I didn't notice. Can anyone help with the a Powershell command to delete all accounts which have a certain value in the CustomAttribute2 field?

My Sister in Law was sat in the pub eating a Steak and Ale pie and after a few minutes asked "What animal is Ale from? I mean I know Steak is from a Cow but what about the Ale?" She also once remarked isn't it funny how the petrol light comes on quicker when you don't put much petrol in? And my personal favorite was following the birth of my daughter she excitedly called my wife to ask "What did you have? I need to know if I'm an Auntie or an Uncle"

Desktop Coffe Maker @ Firebox I had some Hot Lava Java at home not as strong as I thought it would be I really liked it. Currently on the Carte Noir as it was on offer down Morrisons
-
I prefer loose ground coffee to those prepacked things, that way my first coffee in a morning can be an extra strong heaped scoop. Also there is more variety in available products and the possibility to nip over Londis to get more if needs be.

And to today is the day we're due to shutdown everything as there will be electrical works over the weekend.

Server 2008 build for school network - advice please
skawarrior replied to flashsnaps's topic in Windows Server 2008
Our service manager banned the use of memory sticks last year and this policy is applying to our new domain currently being built. Our old domain was CC3 so we just used the management console to remove access however this has had to be configured in the new non cc3 domain. I imported this adm which should remove access to all removable storage media by disabling the drivers HOWTO: Use Group Policy to disable USB, CD-ROM, Floppy Disk and LS-120 drivers Students are encouraged to use the skydrive associated with their Live@edu accounts but when required I will manually copy work from a memory stick to student work areas. At first I thought it was a bit excessive as most viruses are caught by Sophos but the knock on effect has been a huge decrease in MP3 files as they can't bring in the contents of their P2P download folders from home. -
It's being replaced by Firebox but still I'm going to be machineless till next week. I'm risking a replacement rather than a refund or credit note as when it was working it was brilliant. It makes filter coffee by the cup in less time than it take our kettle to boil

I've barely had it a month and my Desktop Coffee maker has decided its not going to work anymore. Its got power but won't actually make me any coffee I'm massively gutted as its summer holidays and I don't have the break time coffee provisions to fall back on. In other news my Bento box is in excellent condition and I enjoyed some rather nice Hoi Sin noodles for my lunch.

We've setup a new domain over the summer which I'm currently configuring. We have two DCs running 2008 serving this new domain with a test machine running XP and test accounts all setup. Group policy is applying to the user and computer accounts correctly with one exception which is folder redirection. I'm trying to redirect the Desktop and Start menu folders on a per room basis to reflect the needs of each room. The folders should be redirected to \\"server"\start\"room" & \\"server"\desktop\"room" Both shares have been setup and the permissions tested by accessing them from the test accounts. The shares are readable but with no write access given. I've disabled all policies with the exception of the Folder Redirection policy to ensure I've not made a setting which may be conflicting and still the redirection isn't applied. When I view the workstations local Documents & Setting folder the account has a locally created profile with Desktop and Start Menu folders. I'm assuming these should not be appearing if Folder Redirection is working correctly.

Do you thinkg IPlayer is going to work next Wednesday?
skawarrior replied to SimpleSi's topic in General Chat
BBC iPlayer is working as usual for me plays but constantly buffering or cutting out completely and needing a refresh. Thanks for the TVcatchup recommendation just put ITV player on and I've got an excellent stream of ITV showing Dickinson's Real Deal. If I get half as good a feed for football on ITV the kids will be happy -
Because that would be spelling it wrong

Remove the cucumber and that is a my perfect summers day lunch

skawarrior replied to SimpleSi's topic in General Chat
I found ITV player crashing out constantly during the opening ceremony and first game last Friday. However I seem to get more problems with ITV Player than iPlayer so maybe it will cope. I'm trying to think of a similar event/programme being broadcast viewer wise and there has probably been nothing of this size to date -
I'm probably also going to end up paying for it too

The opening ceremony is at 1PM so is being shown over lunchtime. Any further games that are on during our lunchtime will also be shown. Only one initial England game is scheduled to be shown during school hours I think

Well I consider it to be part of my job to ensure any equipment I setup or service to be in full compliance of the law.
-
A licence is definitely required when using the BBC iplayer to watch something live. We've got a TV licence for our Freeview box and I'm under the impression that a licence covers a single address with as many items of TV receiving equipment as you like.
-
The problem with most online streams is that they are blocked at BGFL level. I've checked and it looks like ITV are going to be streaming all of their games with ITV player so between them and BBC iPlayer we should be OK.
