http://se71.org/myimages/pm/picklist.jpg is the picklist for our server. As expected, the DIMMs are PC100 and not PC133. I strongly expect the motherboard will not be able to use the PC133s so either we need to upgrade the mobo, or change the order to purchase slower RAM. Can you try and do this

Penderel Configuration

Is this a suitable place to talk about our server? I guess we should have a separate mailing list for it eventually I was just wondering if we could make a list of things that have been installed and services that are available. I would be willing to start a FAQ and wish list if someone else isn

website directory access

I'm trying to stop people buggering about on my website and looking in directories they shouldn't be, this includes several robots that have started trawling through it. I have family pictures, and work related pictures. I want each group to only look at their own images (for example I don't want

Passwords

I just wanted to ask a brief question about passwords. I have access to about 10 SAP systems in my work at the moment, and all of them require a password, and these passwords all expire after 60 days. This will happen at random times depending on when I actually try to logon. So I have the poten

Re: Video Tips

Staying resolutely on-topic [1], I've started watching my "League of Gentlemen" first series DVD. This is a very good DVD indeed, with an second audio track by the cast talking about why they did everything. The DVD starts with a question "Are you Local ?" If you click "No" it switches off :)
