How dare you suggest that I'd use such a barbaric ancient system! I only use the best vintage Win98SE as file server VMs Simon PS Did ANYONE ever ever ever use Active Desktop or did we all just treat it as a virus when it magically popped into operation?

Tell me about it! When Apple stuff just works - its lovely - when it doesn't then your navigating a small stretch of fast running water without a propulsion instrument Simon About 2 skip 2 of the little bleeders! What do you do when your Ipad won't see them on the network -eh! ?

I have a "sync" station but it has no computer to do the syncing Its a very expensive PSU and 16 port hub in a plastic box Simon

No idea about Macs But got a load of Ipads and want to use Apple Configurator to manage them. If I buy a Mac Mini what else do I need to get it working (in terms of special leads/kbd/mouseVGA convertors etc) Simon

cause its a right pain to reset them Basically you have to phone tech support UK 0844 209 0611 and then go thru a large amount of hoops and being passed around before someone enables you to reset them but then you are in Simon

Booked

I use Helium Frog in my primaries - just use it as the capturing prog and then convert movies to HuffYUV format (WMM doesn't seem to like MJPEG for some reason) and use WMM to add narration/titiles etc Definitely works in Win7 Simon

I do love the "they are paying me £20 month to use their phone with a zillion free minutes and two zillion free texts and they gave me £500 cash back for my Nokia 1100" posts Simon

Patently the S4 is the "phone of the moment"

http://www.edugeek.net/forums/hardware/89144-classroom-visualiser.html I use Aver Visuliasers - whatever is availble in the £250-£300 category - mind you haven't bought on in a while since all my classrooms have one - they are a must-have technology in my opinion The cheap ones (sub £100) are a lot better than they used to be but they are toys compared to the ones that go in-line with the VGA signal Simon

I'd forgotton that there was some method of doing that with the NEDs Ta I've never comes across this limit before as I upload using FTP Simon

Well Youtube is blocked in most of my schools so thats not an option really Have you come across such a limit before? Simon

I've made many Joomla sites in the old days on the back of @sysman great package that he did for us. I've now got one school with a company built one and they can't upload videos. (without paying £1000 extra year on top of the £400 they pay already!) Am i right in thinking that knocking up a CNSM hosted wordpress site is going to be the cheapeast/easiest solution to get them onto something that looks good and that teachers can easiliy uploads pics and videos to? Simon

Damm this new use of Fn keys!!!! Bring back the good old days when pressing F5 refreshed your browser!!!!! Ta Simon

I was just in middle of using my new laptop (had it about a month) - and the mouse pointer froze.! keyboard was working and when I plugged in external mouse - mouse pointer moves. I can't find anything in the mouse control panel/pad settings to say I've somehow disabled it and in fact is says its working I've even tried switching off and on again!!!!! (I know I shouldn't have gone to those lengths but needs must) Any ideas ! Toshiba Satellite Pro BTW Simon

Whole county gone now: (

For those of you who like dabbling at the lower end of the IT scale - you might fancy trying out my Scratch->GPIO software. Simon

Just seen on the Bittorrent forums that it won't work from behind proxies yet so gonna have to wait Simon

Run UltraVNC server on PC and Mocha VNC light on your droid Simon

I just ignored it as they couldn't write a proper executive summary - amateurs Not worth reading Simon You'd get a better report from one of school councils Q: has the new wifi ever failed on the netbooks? A: Yes - When the teacher tried to use them in the wooden hut in the middle of the field (And when the power went off to the school )

yes I turn off school PCs - but not the servers Or my own one at home Simon

I installed it on a school PC and typed in the secret key at about 4pm I've come home and nothing is showing up in the transfer log so I'm thinking that no sync occured between home and school I'd thought that the port it wants to use would be blocked by CLEO (that's there job - to block ports) so I'm not really suprised it didn't work. @localxUk - turn a computer off!!! What sort of geek are you!!!!! I NEVER turn a computer off unless its a laptop and I'm transporting it I currently use Dropbox to sync all my school servers with my home pc (for tech downloads - WPKG packages etc) but I could do with another solution as I now use a shared dropbox for some schools for teachers/staff and trying to run two instances on one server in schools is problematical IF this doesn't work, then probably going to switch to google drive for my tech stuff and leave dropbox for teachers/staff. This sort of thing is brilliant for primaries Simon no I didn't!!! :-) That could be absolutely fantastic as a backup tool for my development work Ta Simon

Well what's happened is the Mr Wordpress has completely changed their nice easy to use, big buttons even an idiot can use into some nightmare menu driven thing My 'droid app has "updated" to the new interface Someone need to take the developers outside and ..... ! Simon

Of course , it now works now I've come back :bangsheadondesk: Si
