  1. Virtual Insanity: Part One - Lets Get Physical

    by , 12th January 2012 at 05:17 PM
    This is the start of a lot of writing, because if I put it down in words, it'll make me believe that I'm in control and I know what I'm doing. I promise you, I'm not and I don't. Most of this will be disjointed sentences adapted from my hasty notes and vague memories, but some of it might prove useful, or at least entertaining. I'm writing it mostly because I enjoy writing and I need to practice more, and I'm cross-posting to my actual blog because I really should put some content there.

    I will be at BETT 2012 and can't wait for it to come. Partly for "professional development," partly to see you Edugeekers again and partly to restock my desk with a bagful of freebie office supplies.

    My freebie-fu was weak last year. With any luck it has since improved!

    Neg rep because you dislike Reddit?

    Or you're one of THOSE 4channers who think Reddit is the cancer of the internet?

    If a picture is worth a thousand words, a reaction image if worth at least 500 emotions.

    Just because something is from reddit/tumblr/4chan/wherever ...

    I'm thinking of making one at work.

    Think of it as CPD, if you like.


    We have 10 old RM computers [F-series] just sitting there gathering dust.

    We also have 4 switches sitting around, plus a lot of various cables.


    Our head would probably let me do it... But, I can't think of a use for it...

  5. What a waste of time...

    I can't believe I just spent over half an hour changing my desktop wallpaper...

    I had the wallpaper on a USB... It just wouldn't display properly.

    Set it to "tiled", works fine.
    "Center"... Still good.

    Stretch? nope.

    The colour borks and it becomes worthless.

    This is what the wallpaper looks like, for those that are interested.

    [NOTE - not the actual one that borked. This one borks ...
