If its being set up with a host header, you shouldn't need to ask SWGfL for anything as far as I know. Basically what'll happen (I imagine) is that you'll have say www.domain.com as your standard domain and moodle.domain.com as your moodle site. Whichever one people try and browse will redirect them to the same IP address (I'm assuming both sites will be on the same server/IP/port). The web server itself will then figure out which site's been requested and deal with all of the other details. The only thing you may need to ask SWGfL for is a DNS record for your moodle site, but if you've already got the school domain you shouldn't need it.

I'm putting my money on it rebooting tomorrow morning, and eventually being traced to a memory fault.

Don't forget the slim, pocket-sized versions of the larger books as well - for when you just need to quickly check that VBScript keyword and don't feel like spending twenty minutes trawling through google tracking down a useful reference. Books are just plain better.

Oh goodie! I can't wait until all our news is just unsubstantiated rumours desseminated by the new mass media. It'd be nice if we could ensure the information was accurate, there've been far too many hoaxes recently through wikipedia for me to trust anything even remote attributed to it. Nor the later process. I'm a big fan of technology, mostly, but I still pick a good book over any form of electronic entertainment. In fact my own personal library now contains more physical books than the last school I worked for. It worries me that when people talk about going to a library now, they generally mean going to check wikipedia. Roll on the great system crash.

You're not upgrading a server, so it doesn't really matter.

You'll need to change it to an earlier or equal version to the one you've got, so I guess 7.077 at least. No idea if it'll work after that though. Let me know if it does as I have to upgrade my own soon.

I think he means the little live topic icons which seem to have appeared out of nowhere, attached to certain topics. They look very pretty, but I'm still trying to puzzle out whether its just the latest few posts, number of watchers on a thread, or something obscure.

HOW TO: Use Host Header Names to Host Multiple Sites from One IP Address in IIS 5.0 - Using host headers in IIS Name-based Virtual Hosts - Using virtual hosts in Apache Basically instead of using different IP addresses or ports you really on the HTTP header included by the browser including the appropriate name for each site.

Unless you want to start playing around with host headers (its not worth it, trust me) you'll need the second IP address still, and the routing in place. All you'll need to do though is set whichever system you want to use it up to listen on the appropriate IP address. Incidentally if this makes no sense let me know. I've just got back from the pub and may not be making too much sense. I can try and translate tomorrow.

If you're interested in Microsoft database administration you'd probably want to look at the MCDBA route - Microsoft Learning: Microsoft Certified Database Administrator (MCDBA) Networking, Cisco's probably your best bet. That's if you mean network administrator for the hardware side. The software side and general administration (if you're looking at Microsoft of course) you should look at the MCSE and the MCITP: EA. If on the other hand you're interested in Linux, some Linux certification would help you. The commercial vendors have their own certs, and I believe there's also LP1 and LP2. All depends what sort of job you want. Now's not the best time to be looking, I believe the only skills which are currently undersupplied are Sharepoint and .NET development. If you want to keep your options more open, a degree's the way to go until you make some sort of decision about the area you prefer. And by the time you finish it hopefully the job market will have improved.

What I believe you need to do is disallow all by default, then explicitly allow the paths you want. Or simply restrict yourself to manually applying blocks to all paths you don't want, which could take some time.

Genre of fiction, games, music and so on. Also includes certain fashions. Cyberpunk of course is based on the projection of computer technology, cybernetics and similar to a futuristic, highly advanced state. Then you've got Dieselpunk which is based on a similar projection, but rather than electrical equipment its applied to the petrol engine and technology with the same 'feel'. Mad Max is a fairly good example of Dieselpunk, or Fallout. Tends to be (but is not always) post-apocalyptic. Then there's Steampunk, where instead clockwork and steam power are used as the basis for 'futuristic' technology. Often it is set during a modifed Victorian-style era.

I already get a few comments for wearing cufflinks, I think going for the full morning suit might be pushing it. Edit: Then again Steampunk is gaining in popularity as a fashion, it could happen.

Is there any reason they need to be able to run programs outside of Program Files? If not you could just disable execution from everything except certain paths.

Exactly! I'm just hoping I live long enough for it to be acceptable for me to wear a waistcoat and tophat in public, and carry a walking cane.

The number of men in that line of work is dwarfed by the number of women. I didn't (and wouldn't) say that its a good thing, just that the reasons for it are logical. Not only that but we're currently going through a decadent cycle, as rebellion against previous culture. Give it a half-century or so, maybe a whole one, and we'll be back to Victorian-level standards of decency.

Nationwide panic and paranoia sets in for a few months, then it all gets forgotten about when the latest media crisis comes along. Anyone remember BSE, bird flu, foot and mouth, MMR vaccines causing all sorts of things, plastic bottles causing cancer, mobile phones, asbestos?

Societal pressures in upbringing. Society doesn't define men as being sexualised by wearing revealing clothing, but by performing feats of strength and general macho bravado. Women on the other hand are seen as sexualised by wearing revealing clothing. Stereotypical, yes, but that's kind of the point. I'm not sure if its so much rebellion as the feeling of entering adulthood, and an undefined need to be 'grown up'. Since most of the adult world centres around the pursuit of one thing its only natural that children should be pushing to be seen in that way.

The routing would probably be done by your ISP, or whoever provides that external IP address for you. This may be the LA or a private company. All they should need is the new IP address to route to, and the address that people would be using for the new site. So as an example, if your current site were on 10.0.0.1 internally with an address of oldsite.stuff , and you put the new site on 10.0.0.2 with an address of moodle.oldsite.stuff, they should be able to set up the routing so that anyone trying to access the new address would simply be bounced to 10.0.0.2 instead of 10.0.0.1. Take it a step at a time, and grab a cup of tea first. Its not as complex as we're making it sound by a long shot. So, step 1 - set up a second static IP address on the server Step 2 - set up a test site in IIS and assign the new IP address to it. Assign the old site the original IP address (can all be done in IIS manager by going in to website properties and setting the IP address). Step 3 - test it, then speak to the relevant people to get DNS and so on set up so you can check whether the new URL works, that way you can avoid downtime and make sure its all going to work beforehand. Step 4 - once its all done and working tell Apache to listen on the new IP address, on port 80. Step 5 - make a new cup of tea.

There's the following two things which might help, but I don't think they allow out-of-office replies to be turned off in OWA.

To get a new IP address just pick an unused one which you can assign as static (i.e. one which your DHCP server has listed as an exclusion, so it won't assign it out). Go into the properties of the server's NIC, properties of the TCP/IP protocol, Advanced settings and add the new IP address to the existing one. Set up the moodle site to listen on that address and test it by typing in the IP address. (Alternatively for testing purposes set up another IIS site just with a blank or test page, then assign that the second IP address, you can reconfigure the moodle site once you've got the DNS set up and know its working). Then have a word with whoever holds your DNS records to get them to add one, pointing to the correct address. You'll want it to redirect something like moodle.schoolsite.com rather than schoolsite.com. Setting up two records for the same address is going to confuse things, as your system won't know which one people are trying to get to. It may be that you just have one external IP address, in which case you'll need to get routing set up as well. For the DNS and the routing you'll need to speak to whoever provides them for you. You can also test it internally to start with by putting in a DNS record for your test site, pointing to the new IP address for moodle.schoolsite.com and one pointing to the old address for schoolsite.com.

However, you could use an image web part and just overwrite the file each time you generated a new one.

Get a recording of an old modem, ask her to hold the phone up to the laptop and play the recording on a loop. See how long you can get her to stand there holding the phone up to her laptop.

Well, if you've got a Nokia or Symbian phone I'd recommend the nokia music store, if you use it as an MP3 player in the same way as me. Otherwise I've heard good things about the Amazon digital music store.
