[website] Calling all meme/webcomic readers
Snoochieboochies replied to Joanne's topic in Jokes/Interweb Things
9Gag is about as funny as cancer these days. I used to go on there daily, but haven't done so for a long time. -
[website] Make the Censors Watch 'Paint Drying'
Snoochieboochies replied to unixman_again's topic in Jokes/Interweb Things
The issue i'd have with this is that it would then need to funded by the government and they could in effect censor Films based on their political agenda. Studios are out to make money just like any other business, £1,000 is a drop in the ocean on most production budgets. I'd rather they pay for it than the Taxpayer. -
Banking...or is that too obvious?

[website] Make the Censors Watch 'Paint Drying'
Snoochieboochies replied to unixman_again's topic in Jokes/Interweb Things
I admire their humour and enthusiasm, but i'm not sure what this will achieve apart from trolling the BBFC. They still need to pay staff so how else are they going to classify content other than charging on a per classification basis? -
Spiceworks is good. The only downside is that the search results function sucks so it becomes a chore to look up previous closed tickets..

[website] The periodic table of Daily Mail outrage
Snoochieboochies replied to unixman_again's topic in Jokes/Interweb Things
I find The Guardian just as bad, if not worse these days. It's often filled with salty tears and outraged opinion pieces over whatever created a storm in a teacup on Twitter this week....more often than not involving identity politics. I know they're struggling financially right now, but you'd think their Journo's would put a bit more effort in than to just look at Twitter all day for stories. And then it's 6-10 articles all about the same thing. -
I've always viewed Apple products in a similar vein to designer clothes. They are over priced for a reason.

What is the process behind RM profile reset on CC4?
Snoochieboochies replied to andyturpie's topic in Windows
On CC4: Make sure the user is logged off and manually delete the users profile off the server. If the user is still having trouble on a specific PC, delet the local user profile from that PC from System Properties> User Profiles. -

Delegate the task to receptionist and IT Teachers? -
I wanted a PS4 Pro but i begrudge shelling out money for a new PS4 so soon when i have a perfectly good original one that still works. I am defiantly interested in the Scorpio. I may defect over to Microsoft if it's reasonably priced.

Music production - Software & Hardware
Snoochieboochies replied to pcstru's topic in How do you do....it?
I was learning drums online via Drumeo and it was something that just happened naturally after that. There's probably similar exercises that can be done on guitar that focus on timing rather than notes. The drumming exercises were four bars that you had to play in increments of 5 BPM from 60-100 BPM for 2 minutes each before moving on to the next exerscise. On my PC/ Laptop i use an Alpha Lexicon which is a simple Guitar/Mic interface. It's simple and it does the job so i'm happy with it. I use Guitar Rig 5 for GFX which is awesome. I use it for both Bass and Guitar playing. I have a number of GFX multi pedal boards but i don't use them these days as it's too much clutter leaving them lying around. I don't think latency is an issue these days. Most modern computers are fast enough to keep up with the audio input. Rocksmith is defiantly fun to play and it's easy to spend a couple of hours a night playing it, but it is lacking in other areas. It's more of a paint by numbers form of guitar playing so it's important not to rely on Rocksmith as a sole learning tool. -

I one of the ones who cheated and just went by guitar tab. What i would recommend is to get a drum practice pad and learn some of the basics on drum beats with a metronome. I still can't read the notes on musical score, but i can pick up the tempo and where the notes are meant to land on a bar just by looking at the notation and just rely on the tab for the rest. I have a USB audio interface to run my guitar through my laptop and all of my guitar FX are now on my PC/Laptop. I also play Rocksmith 2014, which is great fun but i find it hard to commit songs to memory from using Rocksmith. It also reduces the amount of time i play guitar creatively and playing my own stuff, so i guess it's a question of what you want to get out of learning/playing guitar. -
I've never liked the modern incarnation of the Cybermen much so it will be good to see the originals turn up for a change.

Try unplugging all USB devices. -
I'm old enough to remember when you had to get up off your backside to change the TV channel and now people are complaining about having to use different remotes! How times change.

I think it started out as online trolling, but was then taken seriously by internet snowflakes prior to the MSM picking up the story.

Will this mean that the internet be up in arms over armpit hair again?

I had an issue on a Win8 laptop a while ago where the HDD activity was maxed out at 100% permenantly. Not sure if it's the same issue, but might be worth checking as this would obviously shorten the life span of the drive.

Did they uncover a can of Iron-Bru and a deep fried Mars Bar next to a fossil? -
How much extra time do you put in out of hours?
Snoochieboochies replied to beeswax's topic in General Chat
Zero - unless i'm paid for it. My time is worth money. The only exception to this is for personal study. I learnt my lesson in my last job. Never again. -
Starting new job as network manager.
Snoochieboochies replied to Shadow_Walker's topic in Learning Network Manager
Be prepared for a steep learning curve in the first year. There's a big jump from managing a CC4 network to a Vanilla one plus you'll have to deal with whatever legacy problems there are from how the network has been set up. It could be a potential minefield if the previous two staff members jumped ship. Also, consider getting a company in to do a network audit. Some companies will do it for free because they want to sell you stuff but the upside is that you can draw a line under any potential disasters that are highlighted in case management try to blame you for it. It will also give you an indication of where the network may need improving. I'd also recommend brushing up on your MCSA even if you don't sit the exam. -
What did you do after leaving Educational IT Support?
Snoochieboochies replied to flyinghaggis's topic in General Chat
I always imagined that private industry would be more up to date with newer servers/infrastructure and that they just weren't shiny enough for schools to justify paying money for server upgrades. Is this common, or dependant on the business? -
Windows 7 PXE boot NO KEYBOARD OR MOUSE
Snoochieboochies replied to greenkeyTN's topic in O/S Deployment
I haven't done it for a while, but two things that you want to check is that the driver has actually been applied in DISM Gui. I think there was something you have to do to before saving it. Also, you might need a different driver because you're booting into Win PE rather than Win 7. Sorry that i'm not much more help, it was a while ago when i did this.
