I like it! Again, Wouldn't be the same without Domino :p

so long as his face and palm are in close proximity, it doesn't matter where he is ! :p

Awww we I could attempt to do a tiger job on @GrumbleDook but it might look more like what has happened when a tiger crossed a Toyota Hilux in the jungles at high speed as I am very much not artistic!

 

Looking forward to meeting members on the Saturday with @GrumbleDook and @Dos_Box :)

:eek:

Shall we sell tickets to us meeting up. :)

 

Hehehe, hardly... @GrumbleDook knows we disagree on some things, @elsiegee40 knows we disagree on others... but I've never had cause to doubt the fact that we all respect each other as professionals at the end of the day :)

Everybody run run and hide!!

 

But get a mint off of him first! ;-)

 

On another note..facepalm friday suits @ICTDirect_Dave quite well today, doesn't it dear?

(I asked for a keyboard and got a Spanish one!!)

I've got loads! Come see me on the ict direct stand. But wait a while coz I'm off having my lunch

 

And yes Witch I was a numpty! But tell me you aren't tempted to jus use it anyway? ;p

 

Yes - yes I was! (this is for a teacher who threw juice on her laptop, borking the keyboard and battery, and when I got it I noticed that the hard drive cover was missing, screws were missing and there was nail varnish on it )

Great seeing the crew again, shame I was too busy Jamming to stop and chat on Saturday.

 

But I've had an idea! Launch an Edugeek members competition to design a Raspberry Pi based device to sit on future stands. It must be geeky and do something interesting to do with education/it support. :)

 

PS total cost limit to be decided by DB as he'll have to fund getting it built.:)

I’d just like to say thanks to everyone who came to see us over the Friday and Saturday. It was very nice to see so many old faces and meet new people. It was a bit like when we first started doing BETT many moons back, with so many ‘So who is EduGeek then?’ and ‘ I've heard of you, what do you do?’ type questions I had to remember my old patter!

The Education Innovation Show will be happening again next year, which is good because it drew in lots of people who otherwise couldn't make the more southerly education shows and its location in central Manchester makes it really easy to get to. Oh! and it also gives the Raspberry Pi community somewhere to go (I've never seen so many Pi enthusiasts in one place!).

I highly recommend you keep an eye out for it next year. But don’t worry if you forget, we’ll remind you ;)

 

But before I sign off on this post I’d just like to add some special thanks, so in no particular order:

 

 

  • @SimpleSi – For holding the fort on Friday whilst I had to hobble off places and loaning us the PiBot to have on the stand. It was a big draw
  • @Grumbledook – For volunteering to be on a panel on our behalf and bringing the ‘precious’. It really is too spiky to be considered safe y’know
  • @John – For helping out on the stand on Saturday at short notice. It was a huge help, especially given the gods sudden dislike of the admins!
  • @RobK – For just turning up and helping without being asked. It was above and beyond the call of duty
  • Everyone at ICT Direct for transporting our kit, knowing a really good pub next to the event and providing horse tranquillisers! Many hands make light work J
  • Smoothwall- For lunch. Nom, nom, nom
  • Education Innovation – For having us there. It was a pleasure

 

 

See you all next year :)

  • Thanks 2

It was indeed great fun :)

 

Chris, we're happy to provide you with drugs to ease the pain of 'mysterious' leg injuries any time.

Grumbledook's 'Precious' very nearly drew blood, I'll remember not to touch it in future.

John, as always a pleasure, although I'm slightly scared now after learning of your 'Bear Collection'

Smoothwall, thanks for your lovely Smooth BallsI shall be using them to increase productivity in the Warehouse...

 

It was great to see everyone and meet a few new people, all of you who got mints and bears should brag to those who did not. You lucky people!

 

I'm thinking the ICT Direct sponsored Real Ale tour next year?
