If you type "edugeek wiki" into google The first link goes to: Main Page - EduGeek.net Wiki Which shows the following: "Prefetching is not allowed due to the various privacy issues that arise." Cheers Jona

Here we use: A highly modified version of "e-mail" - Moodle: Modules and plugins Autoview presenter - Moodle: Modules and plugins Image slideshow - Moodle: Modules and plugins Book - http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=13&rid=319 I think that's all maybe a few extra blocks and filters. We're still on 1.8 stable for reference.

Google analytics (Google Analytics) is great for generic stats. How are you doing the password protection? when you say "who" logged you presumable mean user name. You can configure your apache logs to collect this if your using standard .htaccess authentication, see: Apache Week. Gathering Visitor Information: Customising Your Logfiles Then just write a script to parse these into some kind of sensible format.

Have you confirmed that apt-get works from the command line and it's just Synaptic that is having proxy issues?? In terms of switching proxy it should be quite easy to shell script, provided everything takes it's settings from the http_proxy environment variable, the only tricky bit if you want to fully automate it is how to detect if an eeepc is in school or at home......

Well isn't there a legal limit set by Ofcom for the power, otherwise it would potentially interfere with everything else in the 2.4ghz spectrum?

Virtual private network - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It allows you to connect say your home computer securely to your work network. Example: When I want to remote desktop to my workstation at work I first VPN onto the network which gives me a work IP Address then just remote desktop to my work station as though I was sitting somewhere on the work network. So basically vpn useful for people working from home, or anyone else external that needs secure access to your network. It can also be used to connect to sites together across a WAN link.

I can't help thinking the physics here is a bit flawed, unfortunatly I don't really have the time to prove it this morning.....

Hi, In terms of audio maybe Audacity - Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder or Goldwave - GoldWave - Audio Editing, Recording, Conversion, Restoration, & Analysis Software I posted here about enhanced podcast's (slides to audio): http://www.edugeek.net/forums/educational-software/15475-enhanced-podcasting.html Hope that's some help. Cheers Jona

Some discussion of thinkgeek alternatives and shipping over on multiplay: Thinkgeek anyone? - Multiplay UK Forums ThinkGeek UK? - Multiplay UK Forums Seems like import duty is less of a problem than it used to be.... Just something to be aware of... Cheers Jona

Be aware you may be stung with import duty on orders over a certain value....

I guess this should be moved to the security section....?

Maybe google reader (http://www.google.com/reader) might work as it's outside your proxy?

This feature is called auto correct (or auto text) see: AutoCorrect -- Customizing Word's AutoCorrect Feature or How to disable Microsoft Word AutoCorrect feature.

A lot of the same ideas apply especially for a web server. It is important to create a new group and user for apache to run under and another for mysql the same way you do in linux. Apache, php, etc are virtually identical in terms of security on linux and windows. Some articles on windows security: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/prodtech/windowsserver2003/w2003hg/sgch00.mspx 15 steps to hardening Windows Server 2003 Windows Server 2003 Hardening List (Part 1) http://www.uchsc.edu/is/security/WindowsServer2003HardeningChecklist%20v21.pdf (pdf) Server Hardening Checklists - Windows 2003 Server Hardening Checklist Sorry it's not a how-to guide but some of those should at least put you in the right direction. Cheers Jona

Well I think the idea is that if it's a production environment you should know enough to install (and secure) apache,php,mysql yourself. Then just follow the generic moodle install here: Complete install packages - MoodleDocs For further reading see: Using Apache with Microsoft Windows - Apache HTTP Server PHP: Manual Installation Steps - Manual MySQL :: MySQL 5.0 Reference Manual :: 2.4.8 Installing MySQL on Windows Securing PHP: Step-by-Step Securing Apache: Step-by-Step Securing MySQL: step-by-step

Windows installation using XAMPP - MoodleDocs ??

I'd say that's pretty standard for an application. If you get an interview you might expect a thanks but no thanks if you don't get it but otherwise I wouldn't expect to hear anything. Cheers Jona

Hey all, I'm looking for a simple php framework for a project I'm working on. I've looked at symphony but it seems ridiculously complicated. I'm considering propel but that seems to have a lot of pre-reqs which is ok if it's your own server but not great if your trying to put it on a shared host (which may happen in future). Useful features would be: A simple way to separate presentation from data - Templating engine? Easy form creation / handling? Object-relational mapping? Zend looks interesting although I'm not sure I want full on MVC...? Any recommendations / comments? Cheers Jona

In my install I think all I needed to do is enable the extension in php.ini, but I use apache and php not IIS.

Could you flash the bios to see if the default is for the USB keyboard support to be turned back on?

Hmmm are these machines reporting IP conflicts at all? what happens if you do nslookup for both machines?

Aside from the legal and moral issues what happens if someone plugs in a 32gb pen drive??

That shouldn't be too hard to script, but what stops the students just renaming the files, once they realise what is happening? Jona
