I'm there tomorrow! Looking forward to seeing fellow edugeekers and a sneaky pizza! [emoji1][emoji1360]

Thanks for the feedback everyone.. I'm currently supporting the teaching - because it's new software... so in lessons every morning - but hoping to fall back over time... falling behind on network stuff...

Just wondering how much (as a one man NM in a large school) you get involved in planning / teaching IT lessons ?

Am thinking of delving into CCNA and doing the exam. Anybody have a kit bundle they no longer use and would be willing to sell on ?

Google chrome on Mac office 2011 ..

No sure if this is the right place to post so move if needed :-) So, just started happening ... Can't seem to copy and paste images from a Word to Google docs/slides ( all on a mac) Have tried the usual clearing browsing data, re booting both apps, checking for Updates on Office for mac etc... Anybody else experiencing this?.. TIA

Replied to your PM [emoji4]

Thank you for confirming my thoughts... I think somehow in the switchover ( where we changed the subnet mask as well to get more IP's ) the switches have somehow gone to dhcp... I will work through and make them static .. will I need to reboot the switches after? Planning to keep the same number they have now to keep things simple...

Since we changed our ISP - just noticing bits and pieces - one of those being our switches are showing up on DHCP... not entirely sure , but I don't recall seeing them before and don't know if they were previously set to static within a the 'not available for distribution ' range... So should they be set to static? Gut feel says yes.. any feedback appreciated. TIA [emoji4]

Happy new year! Back to work tomorrow... that alarm is going to have to work hard in the morning !

[emoji20]... what an annus horriblus..

Saw Passengers as Fantastical Beasts was all sold out and we'd already bought the snacks [emoji23].. agree with @witch re ending...

Will def look into this as well @TwistedHelixis

Great tip @dhicks - thank you [emoji4]

Last day at work today ! Wishing fellow edugeeker's a restful Christmas break [emoji319][emoji322]

We're a very heavy user of GAFE. Everything is on Google Drive. Noticing lately that google chrome pages and especially drive can take a very long time to load. Broadband download speeds are extremely good - so don't think it is a Broadband issue... I've googled several things I'm going to try out tomorrow , but any experiences and how you resolved it would useful. Ps - accessed via wireless devices. TIA

Oh @witch... that must be so hard [emoji53]... we humans are (generally) social creatures - comraderie (sp) in the workplace goes a long way... also, just getting recognition for the all the schlepping we do from one support call to another while spinning (in my case at least) a dozen other short term/ long term/ network stability/ learning, research and self taught CPD etc etc plates spinning... Elsie , I am going to BETTS - will try and pop by ! [emoji106]🏼

Thanks guys. I work at such a large school - 100 staff across 2 sites- and everyone seems to be in either established or natural teams. When I have time for lunch I try and vary it between the 3 staffrooms. I'm a generally chatty , smiley person and will talk to everyone . I guess it's especially round this time of year ( and end of summer term) when I feel forgotten :-/ ... beginning to sound a bit whiny lol! But - yes , will carry on being friendly and helpful . Also not having anyone to vent with / celebrate with when a techy thing goes worse/better than expected etc... hoping edugeek will help fill that gap ... :-) On a really plus side - really do love my job and pretty am trusted to just get on with it ...

Hi @witch ! Thank you :-). How do you teams of one cope with being pretty much forgotten about - especially when 'team ' events are going on and nobody thinks to ask you? Or do you prefer to be on the periphery? ...

I've just been given the username and password for the cloud version of sophos ... will be having a go at installing in January. Would be good to compare notes ...

Re watched 'The Holiday' ... still makes me well up... [emoji15]

PRM for us - professional and efficient

Thanks @elsiegee40 :-)
