GREED

BBC News - Breached webcam and baby monitor site flagged by watchdogs While reminding a bunch of geeks about password security is a little silly, a worthy reminder if any of us own such devices!

I have no problem with this personally, that is the point of the beta where things may ultimately change before final release, without feeling hard done by. Otherwise we would have all waited for the full version, or maybe should have! Asking for your money back when you have played it for a bit, don't like something, that is called 'renting'.

Ahhhhh my missing cable for my X52 turned up and my god the difference using the joystick is!!! Can appreciate the stunning game play now

That's why is beta still, surely! I'm gonna use the time to train up and get used to the game.

You quitting?

Time to bump this thread me thinks!

I'm trying to download the beta again on my new PC... is it just me or is the store page suffering a bit today? If anyone has a direct link in the meantime, much appreciated!

No I think this means offline, as in not connected to Internet... which given the sheer size of the universe makes sense!

I will be up and running tonight! 16 hours of win 7 updates... because I forgot to deselect language packs... grrrrr.... fail....

Ah no worries then.

@nephilim any interest from the boss?

ROFL

Oh so it's a Christmas release?! I hope it's festive and gives SIMS fairy lights and tinsel! Someone who is a SIMS customer PLEASE submit that has a change request!!

So tempted to mention it is almost winter!

Currently, each MIS provider has their own method for migrating the data, there is no standard and so it is very hit and miss. I have seen that SIMS uses mostly the CTF file and a base for the data migration (and we all know how limited that is), plus a number of reports in a certain format. I think your biggest battle will not be on the common things like attendance, core student data or staff details, but on the key sundries like behaviour records, markbooks, SEN, exams results (although you can import those again from exams results files), and biggest of all: Historical information.

For the independent market you should probably investigate iSAMS, SIMS, WCBS (clearly you know them already), Double First Engage, Furlong SchoolBase. These are ones whole openly declare their intentions in this sector.

Awesome I really did try and make a go of it, just couldn't fine the time what with everything else happening, and darn family getting in the way!
