Cheers danIT, had a play with a few colours and i still can't find the one that fits the style of the school hehe. Think near the end of the day its far too late to think creatively after messing about with Moodle all day. Roll on ze home time. Thanks again Dan

Love the theme dan, you must be pleased with it fella. Just one quick question though, how the darn-diddley do u change (just) the background colour. I want all the blocks to remain white as they're more visable but just trying to get some kinda colour in the background to match school colours. Cheers mate and again nice work.

Glad people are loving it as much as me! :-) I bought the rockband kit (without the game) and bought GH World Tour to play, it's all gravy! Shall be getting GH 4 when it's out and i might even treat myself to the actual Rockband game this week, shall have to see what the wages are like ;-) If you lot are playing on the 360 and fancy a duel, gimme an add - apoth0r Have fun and keep practicing! :-)

My point exactly Bat. You just seem a little better at it then me A family has died, i'm not taking anything away from that, it's a tragic event and again my heart goes out to the family. To be called a butcher because of the circumstances is fair enough from a family member, they obviously are very angry and upset at what has happened but it's not as clear cut as that. What if he wasn't guilty of anything "police BELIEVED he was using the laptop whilst driving" that is not a conclusive piece of evidence. I have a phone in my car that turned on during an accident, police BELIEVED me to be using it. I wasn't..... do I go down for 18 months? 18 month prison sentence, a criminal record, my future and career destroyed? For something I hadn't even done, but was believed to be doing. I'm sorry it's just not good enough.

Yes because this man clearly went out to kill someone that day, doing his boring lorry driving job he decided....actually....i'm fed up with this....lets kill a family of 6. The family were a victim of a 5 vehicle pile-up not a single man who has become a scapegoat because a "laptop was facing him". He denied both charges, someone HAD to hang for the deaths, he was the most likely.

The evidence was " the laptop was facing him". I think if you're in an accident things tend to move around within the cab. I was a passenger in an accident a few years ago and my kebab covered the front window, wasn't the drivers fault, but wouldnt that mean he was driving with a kebab covering his view? I'm just saying, not everything is done with malicious intent and a lot of it is to do with trusting someones recollection of the events. 6 people have died, unfortunately the legal system requires someone is "hung" for it. Again i'm not taking away the fact 6 people have died, it just sounds a little dodgy that the main piece of evidence wasn't really that conclusive

Can't help but feel although the guy was careless, he wouldn't have meant to kill someone. Imagine if you caused an accident by putting a new cd in your stereo or something. I'm not saying what he did was right and the family involved is so tragic and my heart goes out to the rest of the family. But the guy surely didnt go out to kill someone, it wasn't with malice. I'm sure he rightly feels devastated at the fact he's caused an accident which has killed 6 human beings.

1.4 million!

Picking the dust and crap off my clothes and hair from sorting out new VGA cables that have actually resolved an issue! Wh00p wh00p

Congrats mate, you kept that one quiet on the phone yesterday you naughty bugger :-) All the best mate!

Just about to go and move some PC's, yay!

Interesting thoughts, but i'm going to have to go with the "you don't pay for it, what do you expect?" type answer.

Oh ok, i thought it may be the case but didnt want to risk it without finding out first. Cheers mate Will have a play when this hangover subsides a wee bit, damn saturday nights

Hi guys, It's not really anything to do with the Edugeek project but as i use this forum so much i thought it might help someone searching in the future. Basically I've put a joomla package into a test folder on my server, installed and have setup pretty much how i'd like it to look. What I want to do now is take that /test/ folder and put it into the main directory. Theres so much on the web on what to do when transferring to a new server etc but not really specific to this. I just basically want to copy/move the whole folder to the / folder so that when people go to my mainpage the content is there. Probably a simple answer but i'm struggling to concentrate today so apologies for my laziness beforehand. Kind regards, Steve

Will have more teaching responsibilities (again) as of April so I've signed up, see if I can get the co-ordinator on board for some fun :-)

I shall say nothing as to not incriminate myself about the future of my current employees. We are looking to become an academy and it's been interesting *interesting - read *

Yes it needs a lead from management but you would be amazed at how many things can be ticked off the huge list. You definately will need support and guidance from the top dogs but there is plenty of things in there that would need a technical mind to make sure everything is correct. I was hands on with the teaching and the technical during my work on the self-review framework so i had a better idea of what was going on there. Have a look through though because any help with the process is always very welcome. If the school doesn't already have an IT aim you could always make some questionnaires for staff/parents/students as to what they would like to see happen with ICT in your school, how effective current equipment/teaching is etc. There really is plenty to do, and it's always better to have more evidence then lack of, if and when the ICT Mark person walks through your doors. Hope this helps

Hey mate, I got through the majority of it for my previous school, filling out the bit online isn't even half the battle from my experience. Theres a lot of work going through thoroughly what needs are being met, what needs to be done to improve it and how. I'll have a look tonight in my folders to see if I have anything you may want to use. I actually created a template for writing conclusions to each section that may be helpful. It is a lot of work but if you have the time and are willing to take it on it's a very worthwhile experience. Unfortunately all my work was tossed to the side and dismissed as "unimportant" at the time so I then handed my notice in

Serious Question Did you have any idea that Edugeek would be so popular when you first dipped your toes in? And After coming this far, what would you like to see for the forum in the next few years?

I think it tends to depend on your school really. In my previous role in a primary school I used to take 1/2 a day once a month for cleaning and preventative maintenance. Which included giving everything a damn good scrub. These days I don't tend to be involved in the cleaning, but if a machine comes into the workshop I usually give it the once over with some cleaning stuff.

Simon and Joe are both leg-ends! I feel all the better for telling them about Edugeek when I first met up with them Cheers again for everything Simon, top dollarrrr! :D

Is that not what the "Thanks" are for?

Very good for an international collaboration with another school, used this in my primary teaching days. It's extremely secure and the kids find it great to email one another but all messages go through to the admin and can be scanned and viewed before they are passed on. Makes quite an enjoyable lesson if you have the creativity! :-) *The admin being the teaching account/teacher*

I was hoping it'd be a ultra cool James Bond style metal briefcase with that funky foam stuff each card being hugged. Obviously the standard cuddly toy too!

Erm well havuing seen SD cards for £0.01 each i decided to go through and buy 100 of them...... It all seemed legit until you get to the postage and packing bit..... £449.50 Postage & Packaging Careful
