EduGeek Refresh Desktop tool
I have developed a tool which I thought could be of use to all of you out there. It is primarily designed to refresh the desktop wallpaper at set intervals which may not sound like a big deal but in certain scenarios it will be of use. If you set your desktop background to a shared background for example of the school logo you will notice that if you change that image (keeping the same path) desktops wont be updated with the new background until you log in and out. This limitation means that yo

Please note that, while links to companies and suppliers

Ruckus Big Dogs Conf in Marbella - June 10 - 11
EduGeek has been invited to speak at the Ruckus Big Dogs Conference in Marbella on the 10 - 11 June 2010, and......so have you, only you don't have to speak, and Ruckus pick up the bill for your hotel and food Now I guess that some of you think theres a catch, well there is.

EduGeek in the TES With Your Comments.
Remember that nice journalist who was asking about if we'd been ripped by suppliers or contractors? Well, the article is up here on the TES: Schools being treated like 'an open chequebook', says NAHT - News - TES Connect A pretty well written and to the point article, which I feel just scratches the surface of this matter. Don't even get me started on the (now former) teacher I have found out about who spent £250,000 on IT equipment in a 5 year period in return for £10,000 of personal 'gi

At the Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 - Deployment made easy event
Well as you may have read, myself and Soulfish braved the early start (well I did at 4am!) to attend the Microsoft Deployment Made Easy event at Shepherds Bush in London, which was part of the UK Tech Days Events that Microsoft ran over a one week period in London. I must say it was a very worthwhile day, and although we both have ended up crippled from various injuries that the Cinema caused to us (the seats gave us both bad backs and Soulfish had a little incident as well during the day), d
