  1. Err yes it is was it seen by more than just you and your spouse then yes it was public.. Was it seen by your brother who dosn't live with you then yes was public. Was it seen by best friend who you have known from school yes was public. I am not sure how clear I can make this to people as I hate seeing young staff as often they are ones who do get caught out like this. Website = public Russ
  2. Get ready for the rant I gone on about this before... I refer to Manager Tools (sorry again) the MYSpace Cast is very good. Facebook is not your home it is in public. Also I would question people that complain about students in a pub sorry it s unprofessional and you should not be doing that. You don't get this both ways we are either a profession so we act like it or we are not. Free speech has nothing to do with it .As profession we have professional responsibility. Over this case maybe the school over reacted but as someone said they have got go through procedure. This is why my facebook page provides my professional persona and yes it means I am boring but then there you go. Manager tools is correct when you refuse the boss to your page they assume you are bad mouthing them or the school don't fancy your career chances with that. Any website password/protected or not it is still public and sorry what you do there in or out of school matters. Heck may not get your fired but stop any chance of any career opportunity. It makes me cringe the photos that some of you lot post on there and will come back to haunt some members on here I suspect. I would say to people open your facebook then you are forced to think about what you post. Russ
  3. err we already get it free well the space we get free... or what that meant to be with a .. In case it was serious we get space free but then we have to pay all the extras on top and heck they cost a lot and then we have to pay for you lot to come down so hotels, food, drink and the odd pizza. Russ Russ
  4. Just download Flick as want to burn the TED videos onto dvd. Russ
  5. Also one thing to note apparently senco is starting to move away from IEPs so I am told so we are running old IEP Writer until it dies vrs paying for something that won't be used in future. Russ
  6. Mandelson takes charge of universities | Education | guardian.co.uk Looks like Jim Knight has gone and major change to FE/HE side of things. It shame to see Jim Knight go he did quite well bringing education sectors together. Also way implemented lot of the policies made sense even if policies themselves didn't. Russ
  7. No they have to be advertised in some way know that could be a job advert in local village post office as long as they have. Why do you think companies use head-hunters as it dissolves them of having to advertise. Russ
  8. Just been watching Chris Gardner keynote at Berkeley [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtYpJzQkx1Y]YouTube - Chris Gardner UC Berkeley keynote 2009 (HQ)[/ame] This is one person would like to hear in real life. Russ
  9. I will be honest what you find is first year use the software you think it is nightmare and this is mainly due to getting you head around A how it works and B ironing some local issues which never going to see until you run the tests. This is something I did few years back for it when it KS3 tests. Lets Get Ready KS3 ICT SATS Test Most of it applies when running it as GCSE test. Russ
  10. @Alan i heard that site was ran by dodgey person who use to have meatloaf tribute act... Russ
  11. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2453/3589880467_94aa47375b.jpg?v=0 So you know left is Dos_box and right is Tony.. Russ
  12. Right spent this evening getting all videos, audio and pics of the various devices I had.. So can get on with sorting the vids and audio but for know have wacked up the pics. EduGeek.net Conference May 2009 - a set on Flickr Once I get a moment I will tag them with names and add a proper description. Russ
  13. EduGeek.net as union won't happen mainly down to cost (Tony once looked into this for us unless anyone has got really uncle lurking anywhere). But like idea of affiliation but do have problem if choose one union over another. Unions are a very closed set we are making head way and last month had an offer to introduce us to the unions so that we can start talking with them so do watch this space.
  14. Have you stumbled across any of those Kindle owners who get angry anytime they see an ebook price over $9.99? How about publishers who insist on maintaining their print list price for the e-version? Btw, for the record, at O’Reilly we typically fall somewhere in between; our “digital list price” is generally less than the print list price and, of course, Amazon is free to discount to an even lower price. As a consumer, when I see a Kindle price over $9.99 I’m highly likely to skip it. More Geo-Games: Ship Simulator on Google Earth At Google I/O 2008 the Google Earth API was released. It brought Google Earth’s 3D capabilities to the web (with the help of browser extensions). Since that release they’ve started supporting Macs. One really nice part of the Google Earth API is the ability to create games in the 3D world. Ruby Learning Interview: Author DavidGriffiths, “Head First Rails” Scribd Store a Welcome Addition to Ebook Market (and 650 O’Reilly Titles Included) The document-sharing site Scribd has launched a new “Scribd Store” selling view and download access to documents and books. As part of the launch, there are now more than 650 O’Reilly ebooks now available for preview and sale in the Scribd store, and all include DRM-free PDF downloads with purchase. (Scribd will soon be adding EPUB as a format, and we’ll make that available as soon as possible.) Being a Suggested User Leads to Thousands of Twitter Followers Ever since Twitter started suggesting accounts to new users, it was clear that those on the suggested users list were gaining thousands of followers. Setting aside the fact that number of followers is a poor gauge of influence (see our Twitter report for details), I wanted to know how many followers a suggested account gains by appearing on the list. Announcing InsideRIA Conference Yep, you heard correctly in association with the 360Conferences guys, InsideRIA is having its first conference August 23-24, 2009 in San Jose, CA at the eBay facilities.

  16. Well got a green tree must be the green party To be honest as long as people vote the danger is when people don't vote. I have a policy of locals I choose who is best for the area and Europe and nationals I votes for party whose views I support. Russ Russ
  17. Yep but my tech beat me to it and asked for cpd day (day when his is off duty still has to be here) and can hide away for the day. But will watch itlive when I can or after the event over the weekend. Russ
  18. Problem is no matter what Alex has got to cover his costs he is not making any profit on it price is just to cover the costs. Also I am going and for those wanting to go but can't due to cost then watch this space... Russ
  19. p.s The router is a adva FSP150CP Russ
  20. Was going to start anothe thread but with 3 snmp thread already thought better add it on to this one. Got to get my head around this whole groundworks snmp stuff. As it stands I correct to belive if just polling a device then you don't need a mib file (that was I was told on groundworks forum). Right second got a router broadcasting snmp packets will getif says it is. But groundworks is set to look for snmp_if_1 UNKNOWN 06-02-2009 11:00:52 13d 2h 28m 6s 3/3 SNMP problem - No data received from host snmp_ifbandwidth_1 UNKNOWN 06-02-2009 11:05:51 13d 2h 25m 37s 3/3 SNMP problem - No data received from host udp_snmp UNKNOWN 06-02-2009 11:00:50 13d 2h 20m 40s 3/3 Uptime is problem - No data received from host I assume that not sending those snmp tags (can't see them in getif). So assume got to create new profile for this device with correct tags in but what best and easiest way to get those tags into groundworks. Russ
  21. errrm have you not seen the photos he already has had it cutoff or is this denial... Russ
  22. Point taken so yes far left as well so I have edited the post. My main point was not what party to vote for but mainly you go out and vote. Also did I say anything about Hitler my own problem with far right parties is with current view of large large % members of their party. Also a good book to read is Homeland By Nick Ryan very good book interviewing people from both worlds. [ame=http://www.amazon.co.uk/Homeland-Into-World-Nick-Ryan/dp/1840184655]Homeland: Into a World of Hate: Nick Ryan: Amazon.co.uk: Books[/ame] Anyway my main point was go and vote. Russ
  23. I do not do this often so please forgive me. Can I remind people that this Thursday local elections are coming up so please go out and vote. The dissatisfaction that country is feeling means people could not vote that means far right parties (edit - and far left ) that relay on low turnout to gain seats have chance of making head way. Russ
  24. John don't tell people the master plan. When it comes to it the main reason we did it was because we wanted to make comment on things but as admins we have to tow a party line because of our work. By having someone fullltime we can have that voice more as everyone of admins as had that 'quite' word with the boss when edugeek have said something someone has not liked. Also other bit of news as we said at the conference is that we will make it limited company and we are doing this mainly so DB is protected from having to give up his pants, house and first born because when someone decided to follow through with threat of legal action. Look he already have had to cut of his hair because of a court case well ok may be that last but is not true. Russ
  25. Right added the file to groundworks and net-snmp directory but still no joy... Russ
