The EduGeek Christmas 2015 Message
Here we are once more at the end of another year, and one that will see this Christmas message go up on the VBulletin based EduGeek for the last time, but more on that later. For most it has been a fun packed year with Windows 10 finally arriving and proving to be much better received than Window 8 and with the added benefit that it came free for home/personal upgrades. So, Yay Microsoft! On the EduGeek front it has been a year of us waiting with baited breath as Invision Power Suite 4 was fin

EduGeek is 10 years old!
We are 10!! In the chaos of this year's planned site migration and preparing for our ISTE trip later in the month we almost let this not-so-insignificant little milestone pass us by. It’s been a very long ride from our very early days, when I expected no more than 200 people to join up, to just the other week when we surpassed 80,000 members (we blinked and missed that too!). I went from answering emails at 1am, just to keep up, to quitting my job to run EduGeek full time (and dragging

EduGeek Christmas Message 2014
Well, here we are once more at the end of another year which we are sure for most of you has been the usual round of hectic fire-fighting, network upgrades and often under-appreciated effort. Don’t worry, we here at EduGeek know how hard you all work and, if your input in the forums is anything to go by, your jobs have been harder than ever before. Hopefully at least some of you will be working in offices containing many gifts of chocolate and other Christmas treats So what's coming in th

EduGeek Back to Work Competition 2014 - Week 3 Results
Well done everyone who has taken part this week, we’ve had a whole load of great captions, but, as always, there can be only 4 winners. So, after much consideration in the mods forum we have decided that the following raised the most grins amongst us. In first place for being very witty and clever (see, being clever isn’t a bad thing kids!) is this caption from @alan-d: 'The Year is 4014 and archaeologists believe they have discovered the birthplace of that much worshipped deity 'Internet Ex

EduGeek Back to Work Competition 2014 - Week 3
As promised, we have a task that will not take up as much of your valuable time as last weeks. All we want you to do is provide a humorous caption for the photo below.
