Wa a bit busy when I got there so just took a quick pic of one of the APs and they are Zoneflex 2942s. Didn't have time to dismount the controller but as I said, its a ZD1000. If anyone wishes to do a deal - let me know here or pm Si

I'll think if they work across IPad Safari, IE8, IE9, Chrome and Firefox then I'll be happy. Works here on an Ipad and Chrome and IE8 on XP Si

Go wash your mouth out! We'll have no talk about the dark side in this sanctuary Si

And a week later, I think my brain has clicked into place. I'd so locked myself into flv as being the "mutli-platform" playback format that I'd ignored mp4 ! Could you all try out St Leonards CE Primary School and just confirm that it plays back (or not as the case maybe) in your browser(s) All I had to do was stick {mp4}class6/re2012/David and Goliath animation final version_x264{/mp4} in my joomla article (I use the AllVideos plugin) and it did it all for me Si

There's no common ground here- one schools NM is another schools tea-boy and vice versa And no-way of comparing salaries between London and North-West of England Some NMs are just glorified help-desk bods(not very many BTW) and some are highly skilled, IT experts with management skills and responsibilities and can be SMT members. And then there's me of course Si

Now, as most of you know, if I was in your school - you'd know it? So when you can't print from your class, why don't you send for me instead of uploading your file to a pen drive (we have shared folders BTW) and sending your ta down to infants to printout next years class list. Si PS I "cured" the printing issue by pressing OK to the msg on the printer LCD display asking to resume

Replace the n in than with a t and it becomes clere Si

Mods - can we move this to RP Section please?

Ouch - get off - that hurt Welcome Si

We all know that it isn't ....don't we? Only for testing maybe I'm wanting the full autostarting setup Like I say - the geek stuff went fine and then for some very perculiar(but I'm sure will turn out to be very simple) reason, the launching script that I cut and pasted from a web article/blog just kept on giving errors on about 5 lines that required me to basically delete all whitespaces and re-enter them???? And then it just gives me a an error at the end??? maybe something strange with the editor (is nano not allowed to be used as a bin/sh script editor on a Pi ????) Anyway it was 23:15 and in the words of the famous philosopher, Mr Z, it was time for bed Si

You know, has anyone ever worked out what than actually is? Si

Failed to get a VNC server working tonight Did all the apt getting and sudo ing that an article suggested but one bin/sh script just kept on giving error after error and I've given up for night Never mind - try again tomorrow Si

WP Blog - is there a good free one to use somewhere or should I be rolling my own? Si

I forgot to say - if just managing a network/computers and paying someone else/company to install and set things up, then the school doesn't need as much on-site time. Simon

It completely depends on attitude of Headteacher - there are no rules or anything - its unlikely that any primary school is over-resourced though Si

as GD said the point is Si

These have POE its just that the P side of things is plugged into wall sockets Si

..otherwise I can't blame anyone for managing (over the course of a week) to switch off both the APs covering the Junior Area Si

its back up now Si

I've tried adding National Geographic - Inspiring People to Care About the Planet Since 1888 to netfilter whotelist and the images and video variations but no luck Si

There would seem to be quite a few distros around (general and special purpose) If anyone's tried one/using one - do you fancy adding some basic info to this thread? Si PS I'm just on the default debian from the main download page myself so far

Video -- Kalimantan's Orangutans -- National Geographic Any idea as to what I need to get it working (e.g what url(s) do I need to unblock? Needed in 15 mins time of course! Si

Well - today we be mostly trying to control the world using a RaspberryPi Well - not quite - I just wanted to be able to make an external LED go on and off via the GPIO and I've got there. Lots of problems again - to summarise them :- The GPIO pinouts that Google brings up are all over the place - trust none except what I say and Using the GPIO is restricted to root users so running Python from the menu will fail - you need to run it using sudo python. The best article that gives you 99% of the info needed is Simple Guide to the RPi GPIO Header and Pins | Raspberry Pi Spy All you need to know about the pinouts is that when python says GPIO.setup(11, GPIO.IN) that means the 11th pin on the connector marked P1 - TOTALLY IGNORE any of the confusion that lablels this as GPIO17 - ITS NOT AS FAR AS YOU ARE CONCERNED when programming in Python. And of course don't forget to sudo Python Si PS Of course there may be some more stuff later but I thought I'd better get this down before then beer kicks in!

Yeah - it works OK if I run python using sudo python Si

No - its not you - its them. The EduManglement are sometimes unable to see things from our end and/or take a long time to change things (they try hard but honestly they are not the sharpest tools around ) You have to go via Direct Support!!!!!!! It'll all be sorted by ........ Si
