  1. Or, visit http://time.is for a quick time check.
  2. Re. Iron Maiden - they are in stock here - https://shop.royalmail.com/iron-maiden-stamp-set-pack?cid=SC1123_XMS_SM_0232&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAyeWrBhDDARIsAGP1mWRl0BTSfFeLILcgSNmLyi9SFaii0fQWv1YVtWcNETiDPQmhBsE3zroaAt88EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
  3. The title for it states the storage is '1TB SSD'
  4. There are models of laptop that do not do video over USB C at all. Note that the USB C dock is normally just passing the video through, they are rarely actually a USB graphics card. So, you need to check the USB C specs for the laptops in question to make sure this is supported.
  5. Hi! Just thought I'd report that this issue seems to still exist, Win10 1903 with all the updates + the last of the Promethean serial drivers is giving random mouse button swaps for us too. My quick fix for this is the following little bit of AutoIt script, that is running on login and staying resident in the system tray, checking once a second for a mouse button change to left handed, and switching back if it happens: While 1 Global $CheckSwap = RegRead("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Mouse", "SwapMouseButtons") if $CheckSwap = 1 Then DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "SwapMouseButton", "int", 0) EndIf Sleep(1000) WEnd Hopefully no ones else needs this, but if you do then enjoy Note that as a lefty I always use a mouse right handed so don't see a problem forcing this setting on others Tony
  6. I've another source of this issue - at some point our SIMS server decided it was not really connected to our LAN but was instead on a public network, and so it enabled it's firewall and blocked all connections attempts! Firewall now disabled while I figure out why this happened.

    Shoes

    Try Geox - I've had several types and have found they are good quality, last well + have breathable soles, not something many (anyone?) offer. Possibly best bought from an outlet centre, but still cheaper than Hugo Boss even at normal retail prices.
  8. You might also like to try WinDirStat as another free way to view what is eating up all your space, WinDirStat - Windows Directory Statistics. It take a little getting used to, but is a very powerful way to spot what is happening, you can also use it to help in finding duplicate sets of large folders too.
  9. Yikes, yes, it is quite concerning when I realised that some of my colleagues where not even born when I started working in IT in schools! ;-(
  10. Hi, Can anyone help me increase the size of the zone used when you use drag and drop to upload files in My Files. We've just upgraded from 8.7 to 9.1 hoping this would improve matters, but it appears that the size of the zone is now smaller. The issue is that if you are viewing a folder with just a few files, then the area of the screen you are able to drop files into only seems to extend to the bottom of the file list, and if you drop a file below this, then it gets opened instead of uploaded. Thanks, Tony
  11. At those prices and speeds I really do not think it is worth it. I've an iPad 3 with data SIM from Three, and have regularly seen 12Mb uploads AND downloads. I'm paying ~ £8 a month for 3Gb cap on this, and £12 a month for unlimited data on another Three SIM, with those prices and speeds there is no way I'd switch to this supposed 4G offering. Why did they allow 4G to be redefined, it was meant to mean 100Mb to 1Gb speeds, not this half way attempt that is little improvement over a good 3G (or 3.5G as Three call it anyway).
  12. EES can look like an amazing deal when viewed in the right light. If you are paying thousands per year for antivirus, web and mail filtering, then by switching to the MS options bundled with EES (I believe Enterprise is needed for mail filtering) then you can effectively pay for EES in the savings made by not paying for these elsewhere. In effect, you pay MS for your protection and then get free access to the latest Office and Windows! If you are in the position where these services are supplied by a local learning grid, then they may not be happy about un-bundling them, in which case you may be able to save again by switching to a non-LEA ISP.
  13. Hi, I've done a clean install of HAP v.8 on IIS7.5 (Server 2008 R2), but it shows that the services are not activated. If I visit 'HAP/api/setup' I get the error "A binding instance has already been associated to listen URI". I am trying to run HAP from a virtual directory since we do not want to place in the the main wwwroot, but do not know if this matters. Otherwise, I have followed the updated install documentation to the letter. Quick update: For testing, I've moved to using a folder in IISRoot instead of the virtual directory, but still get the same error. Thanks, Tony
  14. Another option, for those with EES, is Forefront Online Protection for Exchange. All your mail is routed first through Microsoft's mail server (so, you need to change your MX record to point there), before it is then delivered to the school. This has several advantages, not least of which being your servers do not get hit by all the unwanted mail, as well as offloading the responsibility for keeping everything up to date.

  15. Hi! Has anyone succeeded getting the new CMIS integration plugin for moodle 2.2 working on a moodle running in a WIMP setup? To be speciic, we've a new Windows 2008 R2 server, running IIS, PHP 5.3.13 and MySQL 5.1.61. I'm trying to connect to the CMIS server, but am having problems understanding exactly which SQL connection DLLs etc are required in PHP. Also, can anyone give me a pointer as to what the SSQL DataSource Name should be? The server details I have working ijn my old CMIS plug in config file are host=cmis-server and dbname=CMIS_ADMIN. In order to use these as a DSN, what format should I put them in? Thanks, Tony
