Can You Read People's Emotions By Just Looking At Their Eyes?
teejay replied to 6Foot2's topic in General Chat
31, quite surprised, didn't think I was any good at reading peoples emotions. -
If they're made by Google, you'll tell the car to go to Sainsburys and you'll end up at Tesco as they've paid Google a bigger advertising fee.

It's set in Halifax, of course it's grim

Anyone else watching Happy Valley? Absolutely brilliant but I have to say the last two episodes have left me rather shell shocked from some of the scenes, had real trouble sleeping last night. It was filmed near where we live, so its been fun spotting the roads we drive along and streets we know, but maybe that's made it a bit too real...

VMWare upgrade costs & alternatives
teejay replied to CapnPugwash's topic in Thin Client and Virtual Machines
*puts BOFH cap on* switch off finance server and claim you can't fix it because it's a vmware problem and you have no support:troll: More seriously, if you are on Microsoft EES then look at Hyper-V, the 2012 version is very good. -
Up to server 2008 R2 it was recommended that you kept one physical DC, that is no longer the case in 2012 onwards and you can happily virtualise all your DCs as its now fully supported with the changes Microsoft made to how Active Directory syncs.

Oh erm, I was just checking for vulnerabilities in our content filtering and managed to find a way to get on YouTube. Bit complicated to fix this one, will probably take me until the end of May to find a solution.... -
[sims] FMS BACS eAdvices - setup on hosted solution?
teejay replied to Max_Power's topic in MIS Systems
Is it running as a remote desktop or as a remote app? If as a desktop then it should work if telnet has been enabled, if not then I'd ask Capita to enable it so you can do some diagnostics. TBH, if Capita are hosting it and it's their software then really its up to them to find a solution. -
[sims] FMS BACS eAdvices - setup on hosted solution?
teejay replied to Max_Power's topic in MIS Systems
From the computer you are setting up the BACS, have you tried connecting to the SMTP server using telnet on port 25 and sending a test email? Instructions for doing this are here - How To Test Exchange SMTP operations using Telnet We had problems setting FMS BACS up here using our internal Exchange server, the solution was to set up a seperate SMTP connector, don't know if this can be done in Office 365. -
IIRC Sky Go doesn't support HDMI from a tablet, or streaming to another device. Only way of getting Sky Go would be to attach a PC to the TV. Other alternative is a Now TV box, but you would have to pay £8.99 subscription.

The voting rules were the same as the last few years, with the public having 50% of the vote and a 50% to a jury. What happened this year is that they've actually published the voting results individually, which showed the public had Poland winning and the Jury had Austria winning, with Poland in last place. This doesn't show a stitch up, it just shows there were a lot of very drunk blokes hitting redial (if you watched it you'd understand why:rolleyes:)

It's usually the normal.dot template has got corrupted, do a search for normal.dot and delete any found, should resolve the problem.

Hi, Can anyone recommend any CCTV suppliers/installers that can deal with a largish installation (about 26 cameras initially, possibly expanding to about 50 across several buildings), need to cover West Yorkshire and use half decent kit.

As long as you have evidence (such as a purchase invoice) that the machine came with an OEM license for Windows then you're ok. There is no need to activate the OEM version, once you have a Volume Licence Agreement you just install that version, you will be issued with MAC and KMS keys to do this.
-
Speak to a decent MS Licensing specialist and they will sort you out. There may be another issue is if machines have been bought without Windows licenses as all programs such as EES are upgrade licences from OEM or full retail Windows. EES isn't best for all schools, it really does need some number crunching as Schools Agreement can be more cost effective depending on number of staff and number of computers.

BBC 3 now for the second semi final, time for the 'bearded lady'
-
Watched the first semi final last night, bit of bloc voting by the ex Soviet Union countries but what do you expect ;-) I must be a glutton for punishment, but we watch it every year, you just have to have the right mindset or just be blind drunk.

Transfer .sch.uk domain to another host

We use dnsexit, it's free and has worked great for us for 10+ years. Edit: Just to clarify, we just use them for dns, we host our own web servers.- 18 replies

They're bringing out a USB C connector, which is symmetrical like the Thunderbolt connector, so cant see USB dissappearing any time soon

You're probably in the area where a Schools Agreement would be cheaper than an EES agreement. You might also want to look at buying the licenses outright rather than a subscription if you have a long lifecycle for desktop and server OS upgrades. I would go and speak to a MS licensing reseller and get some quotes for all the options.

Adobe are relaunching their edu agreements in the middle of May, it would be best holding off until then as the pricing will be a lot better.

Oh go on then, add me in please -
We tried SIMS Learning Gateway and it was a complete failure,if you have SIMS then look at the products by companies such as TASC and Groupcall, much better products.
