Tapatalk application for use on the forums with your mobile device

First off, I want to say I have NO affiliation with Tapatalk, I am just a happy user of the service, and would like to notify the admins of this site (assuming this is a start, or someone can point them to this thread perhaps?).   I personally use this as an admin on a local VB forum, and as a user on another forum. When I signed up here, and saw it was a VB site, I looked to add it to my device, and it wasn't there. So I figured I'd make a post, and thought this would be the best place.   It

Replacing Microsoft Exchange with Live@Edu.... NOT SO FAST!!

http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/6105/image1dr.jpg   OK, so I heard a great quote on twitter a while back:   "In 5 years time, running an exchange server will be like running your own nuclear power plant to heat your home"   This sounds like a sensible statement to me and since we have an aging Exchange 2003 server I thought I would look into being an early adopter of their "Live@EDU" cloud based email system.   The benefits are clear:   - Virtually unlimited email storage (10gb or someth

XenServer - Linux Based but not always liking Linux Virtual Machines

We've had a XenServer running since last year, and have been impressed so much that we introduced another one this year and both hosts have some eight Windows based servers sitting on them.   I've got a small Linux server running on an old workstation that hosts the Xibo Signage System and also looks after LimeSurveys as well running on Ubuntu. My plan was to move this to another VM on the newer host as it has more than enough capacity.   It would seem that only certain distros of Linux are s

Controlled Assesments running like a dream

Well into controlled assessments now and gotta say my bespoke system detailed in this thread:   http://www.edugeek.net/forums/how-do-you-do/58143-controlled-assessment-how-we-did.html   is working like a dream. Although re-reading the thread I realise I made it sound more complicated that it is. For the record it requires only ONE active directory account to function.   In practice, the whole thing is foolproof! and the only bother we get is teachers asking what the password is. When the

Poor 'Social' Networking

Last week I was doing my usual sift through recent Facebook status updates on a mobile app, in an effort to avoid X-Factor. After ignoring not only every group or fan page update (Please support this charity, dates for my next tour, etc) but also the mounting afore mentioned X-Factor posts of disgust at one Wagner, I realised that the only things most of my 273 ‘friends’ would post about were about their child’s latest toilet escapades, how great life was being to them, or self-demoting posts ai

Where are you all coming from!?

I've just been browsign teh forumsand noticed a member from Canada with over 200 posts and another US user with 300+. I mean it's great that we have such global coverage and membership, but I'm a bit ashamed to admit that I've never noticed these people before, and they've been posting for ages!! Mind you, if more of you North American members want to say hi at the ISTE 2011 show in Philly in June plese do. It's nice to put names to faces.

Been tasked with looking into implementing an internal VOIP phone system to link up some buildings that don't have phone lines installed.   Have been looking at things like 3CX and AsteriskNow (with Freepbx).   Have to say that I really do like the look of 3CX; windows based, really easy to setup and configure but its going to cost if we want to have more than 4 people talking at one. Also been told there is no money.   So, looking at AsteriskNOW, and its stretching my Linux knowledge abit b

Alert Box

Using Windows in Note Pad I typed out Java Script instructions for showing an alert box in a browser. It works. But when I copied the exact instructions and placed it in the Text Editor on my Mac Book Pro I cannot get Fire Fox to show the alert box, instead it opens the file. Here is the Java Script script: <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function show_alert() { alert("Hello! I am an alert box!"); } </script> </head> <body>   <input

Banning Ipods, Blackberries, Androids, home laptops from your School network

I recently had a problem where we were running low on IP addresses. I looked in DHCP and had about 655 active leases over the last 7 days. Now I'm pretty sure I don't have that many devices in the entire school! It turns out that there were a large amount of IPhones and other unauthorized mobile devices attached to our wireless. I guess the kids managed to find out the wireless key again!     There are a number of solutions to this problem, the most obvious is to change our wireless key regu

Do you ever run a computer without an antivirus and/or firewall?

Real-Time scanning is essential ------------------------------------- There is a good analogy with vaccination programmes and also condom use vs abstinence around this topic.   Decent AV blocks generic attacks. I've seen a piece of malware slip though LGfL mail filter, past Symantec MSMSE into my mail store and onto my unpatched (we always run a few days behind the releases) clients, where it was identified by Sophos EndPoint Security as suspicious and blocked.

The next generation of IT Professionals - Part 1

As some of you know, my profession as an IT Trainer currently tasks me with working with young people looking to start their IT career, from 16 at Foundation Learning level (the new government name for Entry to Employment, E2E) moving through modern apprenticeships in ICT. I thoroughly enjoy working with these individuals because it gives me not only the opportunity to impart my experience of the working world and ICT knowledge, but also gives me insight into just how much the world has moved on

The Saga of Impero

In the days of Windows XP we used Impero V2 to monitor our network and ensure students were behaving appropriately in lessons. The console could be a hit or miss sometimes but it was quick and we could monitor workstations without a decrease in performance.   Fast forward to Windows 7 and Impero V3:   Ever since Impero V3 (Currently at version 3.0.53) has been running, we have noticed websites "sticking" when loading and our Frog VLE performing slowly. Infact it happens so consistantly that wh

Communities move to Coaching Portals

Guys, Here is my idea below. May be not knew one, who knows. It would be nice to get your opinions   Community enhance members to keep up to date on the latest with their business straight from the community, and pass that information along to other members. Communities have already started to use communities for self-learning.   Now Communities move to the next level. They are to become online colaboration-based coaching portals. People don’t just share information, they train each other.

Website domain

I signed up with AFMU over a year ago to host my website. I applied for a domain name and registered it I thought with the host provider. The terms were for a year which would have ended on 10/6/2010, but I renewed my account in late September which extended my term to 10/6/2011. Yesterday I entered my domain name in the URL and up came a website that wasn't mine. Someone else, a company now uses my domain name. I contacted AFMU by email (they don't have a phone number--I tried Whois.com but no

I see the point

As I work in a Special School I have always seen the point of tablets, and we will soon get to the point where they will be affordable to purchase in large numbers. I intend replace a trolley with them in 2 years time.   My question is over how managable they are - iPads are great for home users, not so much for integrating into a windows infrastructure - what product have you seen to make you change your mind?   I can see every student eventually having one of these, and desktops and laptops

Tablet computers. An Apology

It's been a while coming this little article, but I have to get it out in the open. I have to apologise for any negative remarks I've ever made about tablet (slate) computers. From Android, to iPads, in fact particularly iPads, I have, over the past few weeks finally 'got it'. I understand now just how good these devices are at doing what they were intended to do, and often, more than they were designed for. And the reason for my negativity, my nay-saying? In one word ignorance. I didn't want t
