Leaving this job in 10 mins so bye all for now...thank you to everyone who helped me over the past few years! Will be back in the new year though no doubt, when I get into scrapes at new job!! HAPPY CHRISTMAS & HAVE A GREAT 2009 EVERYONE!!

Good luck witch! hope you enjoy your new job and they appreciate you more I leave mine tomorrow at 1pm and will be glad to get out of Education, altho the NHS might not be much better!

Diddly squat here, no surprise there, but hey who cares, I'm leaving on the 18th! Already been invited to my new workplaces Christmas do and I don't even work there yet, what does that tell you!

Thats cheered up a dull monday morning with a few chuckles lol:getmecoat:

LOL and thanks contink, I know there are quite a few new systems to learn but at least I know that where I'm going I also have an NHS helpdesk I can hassle if I get stuck!

Thanks Pottsey, I'm sure they will struggle along for a bit until they find another sucker, I mean candidate, to take the job! It will still be part time, that's the main reason I'm leaving as they couldn't find the budget for a full time post. I think JB said the advert was going in the papers this week.

Thanks everyone, nice to know I'll still be welcome in the forum!!

Hi everyone, I'm leaving the Education sector on the 18th December and start my new job as an ICT Co-ordinator in the NHS (Doctors Surgery) in the new year.:D:D:D Does this mean I can't post here any more? Kate

Another vote for Canon here, proud owner of an EOS 450D with kit 18-55mm IS lens & tamron 70-300mm and its served me very very well so far

Bump...anyone?

Hi, scripting is not my thing so this is probably an easy one but I cant find the answer. I'm using a web page to open word, excel, calc etc etc but when I use the following script, some programs open twice and some don't....? This is on the web page: Calculator This is the calc.vbs script: Set objApp = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") objApp.run "calc.exe" Any ideas why when I click once it opens twice? Thank you. Kate

Goodo, at least i know its not just me then! thought i'd buggered up the filtering! thanks sparkeh

Hi I've seen the announcement on the EMBC login page, but is anyone else still suffering with a really poor service? My station isn't filtered but am still having problems accessing the most basic of sites Kate

@witch - I only work 18.5 hours a week and got my £60 so might be worth a phone call

I like your theory outtolunch whatever it 'fell' on it must have gone with a hell of a crack as the dent on the lid is tiny.

Now that's a money making idea...hmmmm...bout as good as any of the crap I've seen in there [goes to google tate modern ]

Yes Acer Travelmate 225x

LOL Apparently it fell out of her laptop bag hmmm me thinks someone wanted a new laptop maybe....

Anyone got any good photos of things staff have broken? I had a member of staff in this morning with her laptop that she dropped over the weekend, fortunatley its only the screen thats stuffed!

Has anyone managed to work out where you set the proxy settings for one of these?

Hmmm I thought using a different PSU wouldnt help, but unfortunately we haven't got, a) another 24 pin PSU or b) any equipment to test the original PSU (I keep asking but it falls on deaf ears). I do have a tester at home but feel that I shouldn't have to start bringing in my own equipment as they probably wouldn't replace it if it went walkabout or was damaged in use. Appreciate all the help though - I'll probably end up telling her to take it to PC World

Hi, tried this but only power supply had availale to try is a 250w 20 pin and the original is a 350w 24 pin. Anyhow nothing different happened so assuming this still isnt the problem

Hi to everyone thats in school in the holidays! Got a member of staffs Dell Dimension 4700 PC in as it wont boot up. (no post beeps either) I've found the Dell service manual that explains about the Diagnostic Lights etc but these don't even come on when I switch it on (just get steady amber power light with I think means a possible graphics failure). I've removed the ram, NIC, graphics card, sata drive, DVD and still nothing. Also took out *lots* of disgusting fluff from the motherboard and heat sink & fan Not sure where to go next apart from tell her its stuffed unless anyone has any other ideas?

Monday 21st last official day but teachers not in as they've wangled it so their last day is Friday Got a weeks overtime to get some jobs done then back on 2nd Sept!

I've now decided to do this instead & transfer over a lot of the rubbish that's on there to the second server we have. There are quite a few bits of software which run from the server so once these are transferred this should hopefully be reduced. The server is only a year old this Summer so the hardware is pretty good - as I only work part time, term time only, a 3rd party took delivery of the new server & installed the main server stuff - I was left to do the rest. I've now promoted our second server (same spec as main DC) to a DC too so at least we have AD on two servers now. It is a bit of a minefield though - some decent training would be nice but we hardly have a budget for hardware nevermind training! I appreciate all the helpful posts on here though - really does help you out of a sticky situation sometimes!
