Is this thing on? Just having a test of the old blogging, as you do.
Wondered about writing a blog once or twice. Hopefully this is the right thing to do so having an experiment. Usually my experiments result in things like this being posted irrevocably to the front page of everything on the internet for the rest of time, so this is just a test and I won't be talking about anything important like gender reassignment, viagra/cialis, or how I made £1000 a week with one weird old tip.

AXE's MIT AppInventor V2 Package.
- Updated for v2.3
Try it out. Suggestions welcome.
Main benefits:
- Launcher with two big buttons, 'Open Website' and 'Run Emulator'
- No command prompts.
- One window for the emulator, all extras are hidden.
- Config is reset each time. No pin codes, wallpapers, deleted shortcuts, etc.
- Included in the package is a client app update tool for the emulator, which can be used to update the package when the android client app updates.
It's avai
The app installs fine and works on some IOS devices but doesnt work on a few memebers of staffs here at the school.
It just says "loading " and doesnt load past the login screen... it lets you enter the details but wont load past this.
on a google search it says make sure the clock is 24hours but this doesnt make a difference, any help would be amazing!!
when i have updated a piece of software in software center some computers wont restart and wont actually fully install the application, it displays the error, "your computer could not be restarted.
thanks jordan
Backstory
I spent some time reading around http://www.edugeek.net/forums/internet-related-filtering-firewall/145867-google-moving-ssl-searches.html and Google's enforced moving all searches to SSL and the issues this was causing for Web Filtering. Fearing that our web setup would again force me to block Google searches, I read through and found, to my relief, that all would be well.
Or so I thought.
I have redirected our Google searches to enforce Google safe search, using the Google VI

I've been using Excel for years but I never knew about this one little formula that can save so much work. My predecessor has been using the ISERROR() function nested inside an IF() function to fill cells that return an error code as blank. This means if you have two columns of data that may not necessarily be filled, you can have a blank cell instead of #DIV/0, etc. A little tweak like this can improve readability quickly so you can quickly spot empty cells or not have to wade through errors if
The below is an extract from a forthcoming publication from MOBOTIX. I thought it could be relevant to some EduGeek members and wanted to share it with you all.
The security of schools, colleges and universities and the safety of staff and students is one of the most important aspects of educational life. However, it is nearly impossible to deliver the necessary proactive approach within a limited budget.
This short guide provides an overview of the key issues facing educational organis
For the first time I've had to install debian from the DVDs. Usually I use the minimal ISO and update from the internet.
I need a machine to install FreeRadius on. Using debian on a hyper-V virtual machine on win 2008r2. It installed Really fast
So what's a mystery is after switching the sources from DVD to the internet ones in sources.list, only 3 mentions of radius can be found. Unlike the 63! in the wheezy repository site.
I've done apt-get update and even apt-get upgrade (which
We moved over to Office365 and Office 2013 this summer and all has been good so far.
One of our governors complained to me recently that important documents sent from the Head and the Bursar were not coming through but just an attachment entitled 'winmail.dat'. Further investigation lead to the fact that she uses an iPad for reading e-mails.
Further investigation has led to this website: How to stop Office 365 sending those pesky winmail.dat attachments - Dear Geek - it would appear that
Tips to Make your Car Wrap Campaign more Successful
Car wrap advertising is one of the most successful ways to market today simply because it is the easiest way to get thousands of views in a short amount of time. Thanks to third-party advertising agencies such as WrapMatch, it has never been easier for companies to create car wrap advertising campaigns. WrapMatch helps companies find willing and trustworthy advertisers who use their personal vehicles in order to advertise for companies at a
The new quad core Atom CPUs are great for 1:1 devices, long battery life, support everything and not too expensive, problem is imaging them. The issue with MDT imaging is that they are detected correctly as 64 bit architecture and so copy 64 bit EFI. This should work fine but most of the vendors have crippled the EFI implementations to only support 32 bit EFI. Some tablets support PXE with a USB NIC like the Acer Aspire Switch 10, others like the ASUS T100 don't. Either way if you are trying
Our tale starts with Windows Multipoint Server 2012 and it's inability to cope with USB3, after being turned away from many a Microsoft door we had enough and gave up on MPS 2012 again. Our lovely new hardware would just have to suffer with MPS 2011.
MPS 2011 is not easy either with it faining no knowledge of many devices when confronted with their drivers, these however were usually just a case of pointing device manager in the right direction.
Now onto the topic, the Intel® Ethernet C
As a teacher you may often hear the phrase "Can you sign my report card". However, this is usually at the end of the lesson, but would have been more helpful if mentioned at the start.
Well here's a Progresso widget that may help teachers know who's actually on report based on the teachers timetable. It will highlight the current lesson too.

This Summer we're rolling out Office 2013 ready for September. We've been using a KMS server like most schools to activate Windows and Office 2010 - these generally have been without issues. With Office 2013 you have to first install the Microsoft Office 2013 Volume License Pack, and this has a nice GUI which has you entering your KMS key for Office 2013 and activating it for you. I did this sometime ago during the various months of testing I've done.
Like Windows activations, KMS requir
Just to let you know Windows 8.1 (and probably 8) does not work without some tweaking on Free2Teach networks
It is due to the Local NTFS Permissions GPO. This needs to be removed to any OU that will have Windows 8 or 8.1 machines in it. I would recommend they are put in their own Organisational Unit and the NTFS Permissions GPO removed from ALL Computers and added to individual OUs and not the Win 8 one.
The Metro Tiles\Apps rely on specific permissions and the GPO replaces permission wit
Hi all,
When we where looking into Office 365, on the ADFS login screen, we found we would prefer it if the user could login with the network username instead of email address. This is so it matches the rest of our services. with Active Directory Federated Services 3 we found on Server 2012 R2 wouldn't allow us to do this out of the box. The next closest thing was logging in with domain\username format.
However thanks to users on the Microsoft forum i have put some code together so the ema
With the recent blog from the ICO about the thing to consider when sending E-mails parents i thought this would be an opportune time to post a quick HOW-TO-GUIDE on setting up E-mail encryption in Office 365.
I don't want to get into the specifics of why or why not to encrypt here but i'll show you what you need and how to achieve it.
First thing to consider is licensing. Microsoft recently changed this so that you can now get Azure Rights Management for free as an Education customer. If i
