At B4RN we recommend our vulnerable customers or businesses to buy a decent UPS. If you can keep the router going the service will continue on mobile devices that don't need power as the cabinets can go on generators so the service stays up if you can keep your router up. An extra UPS will also keep dect phones running or just keep an old fashioned phone to plug into the router. There is talk of making UPS compulsary after the predicted copper switch off.chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07574928297845542047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502482221666578471.post-47001759727412118792022-11-05T12:20:38.822+00:002022-11-05T12:20:38.822+00:00Add blue blocks[*] to the freezer.

And they are big enough to be able to scale up for emergencies which they've already announced. They have also announced how they will keep operations going through any emergencies by distributing staff. Teams supports up to 250 users and I use it daily. There is a web interface as well as Windows, Mac, iOS, Android clients and a new Linux client.<br /><br />Teams also has Teams Live Events which supports up to 10k users I think. Though you really do need the support of a "producer" for that.<br /><br />Nearly all of my meetings are remote and have been for quite some while (before the current issues).<br /><br />A headset is an absolute must as you point out. Your colleagues will thank you and it is much easier for you to listen. Much less tiring to have sound in both ears as well especially if your conference system supports stereo. We use various Plantronics headsets that are hard to beat. Proper conferencing headsets also help protect your hearing for prolonged use.Julianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16293799532055615971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502482221666578471.post-62150709173598306542020-03-05T10:18:15.293+00:002020-03-05T10:18:15.293+00:00Good post Will.

This means I always look over the heads of my audence, rather than facing them. For quick calls, I usually make a joke of this, to explain it, but for longer calls I use an external camera, mounted just above the screen.<br /><br />Also, avoid drumming hands on the desk, or putting down ceramic cups or glasses on anything but a soft cork mat - it can sound very loud at the other end! And make sure your keyboard isn't too noisy if you type notes during a call (consider calling a friend and asking them to check this).<br /><br />It goes without saying that people who do not mute their mics when not speaking should be shot ;-)Andy Mabbetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13517933090616327541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502482221666578471.post-27063476841479229242019-07-24T11:25:57.456+01:002019-07-24T11:25:57.456+01:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Credit Loan Solutionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04560862271536746225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502482221666578471.post-62589758972591314302019-01-31T10:06:30.166+00:002019-01-31T10:06:30.166+00:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.saadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01268916220539938415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502482221666578471.post-40838529963889536272018-09-28T06:19:34.609+01:002018-09-28T06:19:34.609+01:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01282180615056676223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502482221666578471.post-53195581129237384232017-09-26T17:47:05.950+01:002017-09-26T17:47:05.950+01:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Laraibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12581755708332924342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502482221666578471.post-22598858401331652352016-07-05T14:49:29.114+01:002016-07-05T14:49:29.114+01:00Perhaps your GP isn't a Guardian reader, or do...Perhaps your GP isn't a <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/may/05/benefits-cycling-walking-outweigh-air-pollution-risk-cities" rel="nofollow">Guardian reader</a>, or doesn't subscribe to the journal <a href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0091743516000402" rel="nofollow">Preventive Medicine</a>, but it would look like cycling isn't likely to be the issue.

But the 'download it and run it yourself' version of WordPress is a bit more relaxed about such things, for admin users anyway - or can certainly be made to relax.<br /><br />In my experience, wordpress.com is fine for a project for a year, maybe two. But you start uncovering enough of these problems, and seeing enough things you know WordPress can do stand-alone - plugins, themes, forum, BuddyPress, etc etc - that you decide it's time to go it alone.<br /><br />Thankfully, the process of exporting from .com and importing into a stand-alone is quick and (usually) easy.<br /><br />Although of course, it does mean you need someone on your team who's willing and able to take on the system admin duties. Unless TalkAboutLocal would want to consider providing its own managed hosting environment, tailored and optimised for hyperlocal? With the latest release of WordPress, it's much easier to manage a family of sites, giving each plenty of independence whilst maintaining enough central control. Definitely worth considering..?SimonDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10769066281689037272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502482221666578471.post-56029198791789812432010-09-03T08:00:10.642+01:002010-09-03T08:00:10.642+01:00http://ikimap.blogspot.com/
