I don't think Blighty's plastic notes will be as cool as this

"Dr. Geo II is an open source application that allows users to explore geometry first-hand. Its target audience is school-age children. As school is now in session for many kids, here's a brief tutorial on how to get started with Dr. Geo II." https://opensource.com/life/16/8/learn-geometry-dr-geo

A long read but very interesting The War On Cash | Countercurrents

I agree - there are about 20 sitcoms on that list that shouldn't be there

Lots to discuss over a cuppa. BBC - Culture - The 21st Century's 100 greatest films

The hardware may not support W10 and replacing a whole swag of PCs that will is probably too expensive. That's the problem with modern hardware - it's just too reliable and far outlasts the o/ses. I remember when it was the other way around.

Doctor Who - The Den Of Geek summer holiday challenge: build a Poundshop Dalek | Den of Geek The second one is actually pretty good, but at £7 it's nearly 50% over budget...

I don't know if thus offer applies in Blighty, or if it of any use Learn to Code: Pay What You Want for 92+ Hours of Instruction https://deals.makeuseof.com/sales/pay-what-you-want-learn-to-code-bundle-1adc78b4-aae9-4bc9-bed4-f2f71bff233f?utm_source=makeuseof.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=pay-what-you-want-learn-to-code-bundle-1adc78b4-aae9-4bc9-bed4-f2f71bff233f_080416

Tarantula (1955) which Quest billed as starring Clint Eastwood - blink and you'll miss him! Absolute classic.

My original one is 2407 bytes and my replacement is 450 bytes - displays perfectly. My replacement is just a blue square, 192x192.

This Getting brighter colors in Windows 10 - RaMMicHaeL's Blog lets you chose any colour you want, so long as you tick the disable auto-colour box, and it doesn't get reset at logon.

Thanks to this thread, I've gotten rid of the cyclops, got my pre-login screen and login screen all to be the same nice blue. Just need to find out how to get the lock screen to the same blue (or identify the hex code for the lock screen blue and change the others to match). Not liking the having to jump through hoops to switch all the carp off.

If you use Moodle, then MEDIAL | Media Library Software will do what you want (and a whole load of other stuff that you probably don't want)

The version on mediafire (first line here Classic Shell: Downloads) is fine - I downloaded it yesterday and I still have a partition table.

Not me - I didn't like the look of the trailer. I liked the look of the trailer for Wynonna Earp on Spike - shame it turned out to be rubbish - wooden acting and the cast didn't seem to be at all engaged in making the series.

This Australian School Has Banned Clapping | Atlas Obscura Punching the air is probably, a sure fire way of upsetting somebody. "Miss! Miss! Johnny punched me." "No I didn't Miss, I was cheering silently."

We use this MEDIAL | Media Library Software | Moodle Video Plugin and we've done some test live streams and we are impressed with the results. The first use in anger will probably be open evening in September. You can live stream any IOS or Android device. You need the Wowza GoCoder (others might work) free on the app stores and you're good to go. Medial is a paid for solution, but we think well worth it. Their support is first rate.

Piriform - CCleaner Business Edition

I find I gym work much easier when it's hot. The one thing that I really hate about working out in the hot weather are those idiots who don't wipe the equipment down once they've finished with it. It was pretty warm in ballet class last night. There was a Zumba class in the studio before us and they are warmed the room up quite a lot.
