DOH! Thanks

[touching cloth]

It should automatically update I THINK as it just watches that url - I had it set to PH mystuff once and it updates live if you are connected. If for whatever reason it does not then all that is required is to set the schedule to sync once a day at a set time like ol Tone. Having said that, never really used it before other than a temporary play so we will find out tomorrow I guess

Oh and as Shady says, one you have got us all on autopilot you can cause mayhem with dropping all sorts of pics on there

Mind you... no dodgey Frankie or anything, as it would be plastered across my six 19" monitors

Steve, do him with the Frankie

Cant be as bad as the Global e-mail

I've never really played with this active desktop thingy before - it's a bit good!

Good thinking TC, like it

Will be up there later this year, hoping for slightly better weather

No, bit further north. It's a burn that runs down from Ben Damph to Loch Torridon.

Oh look -Long Crendon.

I used to love that road when going from Bicester to Chinnor.

ohhh that's clever.

If I change the pic will it automatically update - or does it do it in the middle of the night or something?

Depends on the frequency Active Desktop refreshes at the client end - think it's customisable - but broadly, the answer's yes, it'll update automatically.

And my task for today was made a hell of a lot easier as soon as my mum said "I think that garage you like (Broughtons) has got a new car in...blue with 'Ford' down the side"

(also found out while there that one of my previous photos now adorns one of the guys' desktop - well chuffed with that )

You'll know my old haunts then, Deddington and Great Wolford (near Chippy)
