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. As usual we shall be closing for entries at 2pm (GMT) on Friday and announce the winners between 4 and 5pm the same day. A bit of back story about the picture here. A couple of years back when BETT moved from Olympia to ExCel on the other side of London we didn’t really know the area at all and finding a suitable ho

EduGeek Back to Work Competition 2014 - Week 2 Winners
It may be that we set the barrier a little high this week! We know that you are rushed, particularly at lunchtimes and it showed by the entries we received, so what we propose is that we roll over the main prize from this week and extend the competition by an extra week with a challenge a bit easier to achieve. Scooby Doo sandwiches anyone? That’s not to say some of you have not tried. In fact last night we had two entries that made us smile. First from @sparkeh for his cuddly toy pizza nig

EduGeek Back to Work Competition 2014 - Week 2
Here it is, the second week of our 4 week competition and this time we thought we'd treat you all. Or to me more exact, you treat yourselves and after 6 weeks of intense work during the holidays we think you've earned it. What we require from you is to have a nice meal in your office. The nicer the better in fact. We want to see cooked food, tablecloths, plates, cutlery and candles. Or perhaps you prefer some extreme food? Sandwiches a foot tall, baguettes 3 feet long or homemade stack bu

EduGeek Back to Work Competition 2014 - Week 1
Here we go, and to start you off we have an easy task to get you rolling. By the time you've read this we guess you are already knee deep in the usual, and not so usual tasks that occur every year without fail when the hoards reappear to undo all of the hard work you've put in over the summer, and, as is often the case, you need to employ special tools for the job. From Philips screwdrivers, LART kits and Fluke testers we know you have them all. What we want you to do is show them to us, o
