  1. Anyone tried Inkscape instead of 2D Design - https://inkscape.org/ I seem to recall using it to lasercut a perspex case for a model B Raspberry Pi, waaaay back in the day Cross platform and open source too
  2. We've a looping powerpoint display showing menu choices for our kitchen signage. Additionally, we've other Xibo based signage displays scattered around the site too. We've found both solutions to be pretty straightforward and problem free.
  3. This is ours: It was interesting and fun to make, as was a combination of rendering light beams and atmospherics in Blender shining through a 2D alpha'd image of the school logo, then using Gimp to overlay a subtle Flame filter

  5. Hello All, For the past 14 years or so, not only have I been working as an IT Technician in a local secondary School, but I've also been running an opensimulator (opensim) grid (not school or work related). For those of you not familiar with opensimulator (OpenSimulator), essentially its a cross platform opensource alternative to SecondLife. I know some universities in UK and the States use it as a remote learning facility for their learners. As I've been an un-official tester for the opensimulator project over a long period, I've seen a good deal of development and growth as the popularity of the software has grown. I've also been instrumental in setting up opensim grids both for friends and on a semi professional basis for commercial grids. I'm still of the opinion that in a school environment, opensimulator offers some unique and comprehensive features such as collaborative working, and could be beneficial across a range of subjects of the school syllabus. Certainly, from a technical perspective it touches a lot of complex and interlinked areas of IT/Computer Science, such as Server/Client architecture, Networking, firewall rules/policies, database administration, web server deployment and use, code compilation, network and database security as well as many others. As a spin off from running and administering an opensim grid, I also teach blender to other opensim users at a beginner and intermediate level. This is primarily because opensim allows the importing of mesh, images and sound. Once opensim users have got the hang of Blender, they can then create and import things into their own simulators (sims). When I was attempting to persuade the school it was worthwhile running opensim for students to use, I also looked at possible ways to integrate it into some of the subjects and school syllabus. Some of the ideas generated were, Use as a virtual walk through, for the school buildings/layouts/facilities, use as a virtual art gallery, where students can show off their artwork, helping learners learn basic maths, ie. volume, areas, use in computing, as learners can learn to script in LSL (linden scripting language) and in doing so, they can see the results of their scripts working,or not in-world I'd be more than pleased to answer any questions you may have about the above, also I'd be pleased to hear your thoughts on the matter
  6. This proposed solution doesn't fully answer your question, however it may get you some of the way there: https://smallbusiness.chron.com/use-excel-show-only-duplicate-values-47521.html
  7. Scribus - https://www.scribus.net/ Inkscape - https://inkscape.org Just suggestions
  8. see if this helps Zezima -->Recover your system with Single user mode in Linux Mint / Linux Mint 12 - IT'zGeek -
  9. Wrong graphic driver perhaps?
  10. Hello turki_00 Try following the instructions here: Port forwarding for iptables (DMZ) You'll need to specify eth0 - rather than eth1 (of course), you may note the --state NEW and --m state flags (see man iptables for more info), you may or may not need those - depending upon which version of iptables you're running. Good luck and hope you manage to get it sorted out
  11. I tend to enjoy openarena OpenArena and Urban Terror Urban Terror
  12. Hiya Zag, For my benefit (I'm currently attempting to implement iTALC 1.0.10 (beta) - in a win7 based classroom at the moment, using an XP master, could you clarify for me how you achieved this, and what functionality of iTALC and WIn7 you had to disable or alter? I've found so far that iTALC appears not to like running as a service on non-standard ports (we run ultravnc too), and that the aero effects and UAC seem to cause ITALC a few problems too. I see your running iTALC 1.0.9 - from your screen shot, which wouldn't co-exist nicely with UltraVNC (for us anyway), but I'm glad to say version 1.0.10 allows the running of multiple instances of VNC, due to a mutex code change and also features a rather nice installer too Any help or advice you can offer, regarding running ITALC on win7 would be greatly appreciated zag.
