If only I had the money :| But cheers for the link had a quick google, (but we won't go there). beeswax

that'll be the north island then.

my experience as someone who was a governor at a primary school was that few males applied for teaching posts, and this was seen as a problem as there were no/very few positive male role models for pupils. However, when it comes to primary school heads the proportion of males to females is much higher. when I think back to my own time at primary school (late '50's early '60's) the only male there was the head. someone somewhere's probably done a paper on it. as the father of 2 daughters I've always been keen to stress that they are at least the equal of any male, except when it comes to housework, neither of them being able to hold a candle to my ironing skills. I don't like to boast, but...(cont. page 94)

Wardle High are looking for a systems manager. It's a generally good school in a pleasant part of Rochdale, not far from the M62, though the machines are a little outdated (so my daughter tells me). I believe that IT needs turning round here after being a little neglected over the years. something to get your teeth into. beeswax Edit: after checking the link I see it only takes you to the job search page. just type in systems manager in the keyword section, it should take you there. If you have any problems get in touch with me and I'll cut'n'paste it.

my head of IT, after saying that she didn't want to do the summative test has now asked me to schedule it for last 2 periods tomorrow. I'd already arranged to leave early that day. fingers crossed.

as a by product you've also solved a desktop problem for me as well. I was trying to use a gif but the icons and text were showing a blocky blue background. changing to bmp solved that. thanks.

I've got to apologize for not going into full details of the Realtek 8139. You must ask your suppliers if they are PXE compliant first, I thought it was a standard thing that they were, but some older stock may not be. sorry about that, it's something I've just caught the NM saying.

we have them (Realtek 8139) in a bunch of machines here and they've been fine for ris.

...or more likely, as you wake up in hospital, "You don't remember me, but I was the pupil in 9N viewing 'inappropriate sites' during English, and you were the person who disabled my account and sent a printout of a screen grab to my parents, saying you wouldn't re-enable it until they got in touch with the school. I got a right telling off. It's payback time." and the rest, as they say, is history. Will Tony be offering self defence courses for put upon IT staff I wonder?

slightly off line, and I can't remember if I read it here, but it seems that mice (computer) in internet cafes hold the most bacteria, followed by public toilet door handles. And looking down at my own (pro-biotic) keyboard and mouse I can see why.

re-size iframes to hold content without scrollbars
beeswax replied to beeswax's topic in Web Development
I've googled it and seen a couple of ways it's supposed to work, one dhtml and the other javascript, but no matter how I try, I can't replicate it on my page(s). -
does anyone have any code, or know of where I can find some, I can insert into a page which will allow an iframe to resize its height to fit its content? I've spent a fruitless couple of hours searching but haven't found anything that does what it says on the tin yet. beeswax

the voice of HAL (2001) came in to my head then

running sophos av here and so far haven't had any upgrade probs reported.

and just to prove it scroll down

well it seems to be working, but very slowly, or there's an awful lot of stuff to put back. Or, as the teacher says, "Oh, it's just a couple of files and my printer at home."

I've been using this for quite a while now with teachers laptops, where you install a basic image and return the files and settings. This time, however, despite pointing it to the file (on an external hdd) it says the file doesn't exist. I did this on a laptop last week without any problems. Has anyone encountered this before and have you found a work round? beeswax

yesterday, for the third time, my head of ICT came in 5 minutes before a lesson and asked me to schedule a test for that lesson. Apart from the rush the (pfm) test seems to be running ok, though had a couple who couldn't create the chart, despite running the update/patch. doing it with a class of 26 though, as we suspect that with our servers coming towards the time when they should be replaced, it's the best bet.

I've been proceeding down the Moodle path quite happily for a few weeks now, and have even managed to get some teachers interested, but why am I doing it? Will vle's be compulsory, are we at that stage now, or is it something that's just strongly recommended? Can anyone enlighten me?

well there you go then
