Some networking knowledge would also be required I would have thought. Suggest you look at the BECTA spec for IT technicians at linky for some further info on this. The idea of studying while doing supply work makes sense if you are determined. It can be done however, I spent 20 years as a teacher before moving into this field, though I did have an advantage I suppose in that I had worked with computers previous to teaching, and my degree was maths and computer science. Best of luck if you do decide to go down this route.

I note that Erik and Ronald have made their frontends compatible according to the website!!! Reckon DosBox is up to no good!!!!

You could "give" usb drives to the kids in return for a "fixed donation". :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

GrumbleDook ................. for excessive grumbling when he dooks. Alternatively the b*$%ard who nicked my custard donut yesterday!!! I'll find you and then...............!!!!!!!!!!!!

".......... only a common assault" !!!!! ..... so can I expect the same "caution" if I wack a kid, or a policeman, or a judge etc???? ..... one law for some etc.........

Listen to Uncle Mark Wes, He's the fount of all knowledge on AT!!!! Kettle's on Mark!

Nah, Jif and wire wool!!!

........ the bottle of whiskey I was drinking, my stash from under the seat, the gun from the glove box, the balaclava from the door pocket and the false number plates from the back seat. ........ and the furry dice!

Just been advised that due to a baggage-handlers dispute in France, this has been postponed to Friday 18th. This is also the "UberGeeks Weekend" at the Bull in Sedbergh so anyone who is in the area is welcome to join us for some real ale and subnet calculating. If you want a useful lexicon try: linky

Next Friday (11.05.2007) is international "Talk like a pilot Day" (Not talk like a Pirate!!! that's gone!) Please ensure that all posts here and any other communications are appropriately worded!! Roger and out! (just practicing)!

but if you wear posh suits that involves more IRONING !!!!!! 8O 8O 8O

This was caused by windows update!! The affected DLLs were a part of the last "Patch Tuesday" fix for an animated cursor problem that let black hats run code remotely. see: another MS cock-up

Apparently 8O UV markings etc can be cleaned off with common household chemicals. With Smartwater even a few remaining molecules will identify the real owner of the item and the liquid soaks into tiny crevices.

Smartwater

Yep, we use it here and I would recommend it highly. Only problem really is that it cannot be removed once applied which can create an issue with warrantees. There again, it wouldn't be much use if it could be removed!!! Quick and easy to apply. Our local police love it, as do the insurance company. I would advise that you buy plenty of extra stickers and warning posters. It's surprising how quickly you use them up!

Any schools in Cumbria using Macs? Thinking of setting up a suite for Media/music/video work but would like to see what others are doing first! NB Tried to find an education solution expert locally but Apple need some geography education! They think Cumbria is in Wales!!!!! Our sheep are much prettier!!!!! :badgrin:

I've used these : linky for overclockers in the past to put together rigs to my spec but a lot cheaper than I can source. Problem is they do so much tasty kit that there is a great temtation to over-spec!!! :oops: :oops: :oops:

will the site then have a 2K problem???

Nope, cannot ping etc. but it's possible the IP address has been changed. I cannot check that since the test button on the back that gives you the settings printout gives the "chosen personality not available" response! djm968 .......... saw that on google but it refers to driver problem as solution. gecko ......... cannot update as I cannot access the jetdirect box. Download manager cannot find it, I cannot even ping it at it's last known IP address. Think a new one is looking more and more likely!

HP Colour laserjet 3550 with HP jetdirect en3700. Has worked fine(ish) for years. No workstations now able to print to it. I tried to run setup again on the server but setup program unable to find printer now. Tried to print out settings from jetdirect but printer reports "chosen personality not available". Printer works fine when connected directly to a workstation so not a driver problem which is the only googled solution I could find. I suspect jetdirect box is knackered but at a replacement cost approaching £200 want to be sure. Anyone any blazing insights??

Linky NB turn your speakers up!!!!

Simple really........... 1. Wife working away last week. 2. Popped into shops on way home from work friday at 3.30. Beer and mag put in carrier bag which already contained PSU. 3. Popped into pub at 4pm for a quick one before returning home to tidy-up before wife returned Saturday. 4. Left pub just after midnight. You can guess the rest, including the wifes comments about the state of the flat on her return. 8O 8O :oops: :oops: :oops:

gp update??

Beer, Stinking Bishop cheese (that I'm frightened to disturb), milk, PC Pro magazine and an old PSU. Don't ask!!!
