The Governors, Head Teacher, Senior Leaders and children wish to appoint an ICT Network Manager from 1st September 2016 (with potential for an earlier start to allow for a hand over from the current post holder) to ensure the smooth operation of the Schools ICT systems to support education on a day to day basis as well as develop systems to ensure future needs are met. The support of the administrative function of the school is also essential. We are seeking an individual with the necessary qualifications & experience to manage the virtual servers, networks, hardware and software installations within the school to ensure the day to day operation of systems is a smooth as possible. The successful applicant will be flexible in their approach to work, willing to deliver structured training at the appropriate level and provide general advice guidance and support on an ad-hoc basis. Support of IT prior to, during and post lessons will be a feature of this post as will be the provision of technical advice and guidance to Senior Leaders and governors on “best value” during procurement exercises. We have enthusiastic children who are eager to learn; a welcoming school with dedicated, supportive and experienced staff and governors and have a commitment to your continued professional development. Experience of working in an educational environment is desirable but not essential, the character, technical knowledge and experience of the individual being considered as being of great value.

I should get it because I am the Messiah.... No I'm not I'm a very naughty boy... or am I actually the Doctor? You'll never know as I can't remember.... that's why I need Lastpass so i don't have to waste the few brain cells I have left on remembering passwords. Plus I only have a few Shekels left... I do already have a Lastpass subscription so I agree with some of the others that you should keep it because it's awesome!

I've seen a lot of comments similar to this but I think Amazon Prime is great value for money already and gets better all the time. If you don't order from Amazon much I guess it's not so good but next day delivery + Prime Instant Video + Prime Music (just launched) + Storage + Kindle Library (if you have an actual Kindle) for £79 a year is good value to me.

The subscription is just for music, there isn't a movie streaming subscription for Google Play (yet, or in the pipeline as far as i know)

Anyone got a car dashboard camera? Considering buying one.
bmdixon replied to adhutton's topic in General Chat
I have this one that goes in front/behind (depending on how you look/think about it) and it comes with a very long cable so i have routed it along the top of the windscreen, down the side and into a gap behind the dashboard and eventually re-appearing near the 12V socket near the gear-stick. Works very well and picture quality is great. -
1) Fair enough, they can be useful for that 2) Good point, that aspect of AV apps be useful. I personally just use Device Manager for locating my devices as it's 'built in' but used to use Prey. I have never needed to use either though so haven't felt the need to pay for this functionality.

Anti-virus apps on Android are pointless if you pay attention to what apps you're installing. If you don't just wildly accept any app install and you take the 2 seconds to scan the permissions an app requests you will be ok. If you're rooted they're even less use as any app could just hide itself from an antivirus app. The only thing antivirus apps are useful for is scanning for spammy notifications/ads within apps. They have no extra ability to detect issues than any other app so can't really tell you very much. There is a lot of incorrect reporting of android viruses, most are in countries where the Play Store isn't available (Russia and China mostly) and are usually just adverts in apps or things like that rather than actual viruses. See here and here for more info

No need... use one from here

Yeah, they are rather a lot... just checked ebay and most are still £300-500 second hand, although there are a few for less than £200. As for 'real' suggestions I can't really help, sorry!

Just to make everyone jealous... We have Herman Miller Aerons here (I'm a developer for a software company). They're not cheap but they apparently hold their value well so can be sold on for quite a lot as well. It's very comfy and i hate sitting on any other office chair now!

Looks like that's the US site... try this link. You can log into both amazon.co.uk and amazon.com with the same account so that's probably why you're confused.

Yeah, it's a 1.6 Diesel Blue Drive (i think that's it's full title!). Supposedly it can get up to ~75MPG but it seems mid 50's is more realistic.

I've just bought a 2012 i30 (a week ago) and it's very nice to drive and much more economical than my previous car (i'm getting about 52MPG with mostly town driving). The thing that made me chose a Hyundai is that the 5 year warranty stays with the car, so on mine i still have 4 years warranty (at no extra cost). The model I've got has pretty cheap car tax... it's £0 I realise i'm probably not that useful for recommending the i10 or for saying how reliable a Hyundai is long term but from what I've heard (a colleague has the previous model i30) and read they're a pretty safe bet.

There's an Australian security guy who has posted a number of videos of him 'scamming' the scammers... See his blog here (Warning, some are NSFW)

What do you use at the moment? What's wrong with them? I've used ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit and Chart Controls in the past and they've been ok.

Nice site but i've spotted two issues... 1 - Entering no frame number shouldn't actually search, it currently shows up as stolen! 2 - you have a cross site scripting vulnerability... click me (it's safe to click that, it just shows an alert).

Article: Presenting the EduGeek App for Android and iOS
bmdixon replied to ZeroHour's topic in Legacy CMS Comments
Not related to this post but on the front page it says 35 comments, at the top it says 1 and then it says there are 9 just above the comments... something gone a bit wrong... -
Supposedly the music matching is live so it should 'upload' tracks a lot quicker. Can't say i've noticed but i've had most of my music uploaded for a while (used a US proxy to get access before they launched it in UK). It did take 5 days non-stop to upload it all though...

[android] Petrol Consumption app?
bmdixon replied to RabbieBurns's topic in Mobile Devices & Tablets
I use this. Works well and nice and easy to add fill-ups. -
[android] Extending Storage Space on HTC Desire
bmdixon replied to crc-ict's topic in Mobile Devices & Tablets
I recently switched from a Desire to the Galaxy Nexus but i used a couple of different roms on my Desire. The two i'd recommend are Cyanogenmod if you want 'stock' android or any of LeeDroid's roms (there are a couple from what i remember but he's probably the best) if you want Sense. -
[android] Syncing android calendar to OWA?
bmdixon replied to percy's topic in Mobile Devices & Tablets
Simply add your exchange account in "Accounts and sync" and select to sync your calendar. You can then add/edit/delete entries on your phone. -
I don't think they allow it, everything is done via the toolkit. What did you want/need access for?
