Comment on Moodle and Gallery 2.1.2 by James Rudd

Unfortunately, the Gallery plugin has not received any updates in quite a while and is incompatible with Moodle 2+. As you mentioned there is the Lightbox plugin and this is what I use for images. Are you running the latest version of Moodle (2.2) and the latest version of the plugin from GitHub?

Comment on Using BackupPC with DiskShadow to backup open files by ccxzy

Oh, thanks. Do you think trying the x64 diskshadow would be dangerous in my windows 7 system?

just for the benefit of other readers, the x86 file didn’t work in my windows 7 system. haven’t tried the x64 though, (as I’m not home).

Server 2008 R2 only comes in x64 versions, so there is no x86 version to provide.

hi, for windows 7, we need the x86 diskshadow from windows server 2008 R2, you got your x86 from windows server 2008 not from R2, any chance that you will update this post for those other files? thanks

Comment on Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Mail by James Rudd

Thanks. I just double checked in Autoruns and in version 10.05 it is in Explorer, and in 10.07 it is under Logon.
I’ll update the article to reflect the change.

FYI, On my systems, Autoruns showed these settings on the Logon tab (or Everything tab), and the Description for each was “Windows Mail”.

Comment on Papercut by Chris

Great writeup James… but I am a little bias being one of the dev’s at PaperCut

I like your print script. If you hit the “Share” button above the script it will open a email up to submit your script. We’ll then share it across all the other PaperCut’ers.

Recently one of the UK admins shared their favorite script. They had a problem where someone was sneaking in as using the IT department’s new colour printer. Obviously they knew who it was from the logs but wanted to catch them red handed. They set up a script that emailed the administrator when someone outside the IT department group used the device! Nice to see print script used for something useful
