  1. Attachment is working for me - try switching off and on again Its an ideal candidate for playing about - I'd have kept it for myself but it was part of the deal with my wife to let me have a new phone Si
  2. I came up with a cunning plan [ATTACH=CONFIG]11799[/ATTACH] but I don't know if its going to be any use Si
  3. Its on Vodaphone and its in A1 condition (A photo wouldn't show you anything - and I can't take one at the moment as my new phone is on its initial charge so I can't use it yet!) I've had it in one of those gel cases since day 1 Si
  4. Which one and when? Si
  5. I'm flogging my HTC Desire (Got a new phone today) through envirophone but if any quality edugeeker wants it instead for the same they are offering me (£105) +pp then contact me before the little envelope arrives Si
  6. Ah - no they're not unfortunately - they've got the same subnet mask which just means both networks are limited to approx 254 addresses. They are on their own separate subnets As I don't know of an easy method of doing what you want I'll leave it to the big boys to help you out. Si
  7. Are you sure? e.g can you ping the curric printer from an admin pc? If so, no trust needed, just set up the photocopier as a printer on the admin server and your in business Si
  8. Just in case it comes up again - if your within same LEA, you should just be able to claim extra hours and have it charged to the other schools cost centre. I do this in Lancs and just tell them I'll be charging 10-15 hours and what my approx cost is /hour (wages+20% for pensions etc) This way all tax issues are sorted regards Simon
  9. I've been asked by a KS1 teacher if there's any piece of software to copy the Red/Amber/Green traffic light type sound level monitors. She wants a "Stay on Top" type large icon that can be on the screen during lessons and change accordingly to picked up sound level from a microphone. If not - what's going to be the easiest(what language?) way to program a little program to do it? (Nice job for half-term ) Si
  10. JFI - I just found another "real" use for an Ipad - I needed for pupils to narrate the video of their trip to the fire station. I tried last week using Win XP Movie Maker but the result was hard work and took a lot of effort. I used the Ipad IMovie this week and its so easy to use (once I'd imported the videos) that I just let the Y2 pupils press the buttons themselves - it might even be easy enough to let the Y2 teacher try it next time If they'd used the Ipad itself as the camera, then the whole process would have been trivial. Si PS Don't get me wrong - getting external video into the pad was a nightmare (Eventually did it by syncing "photos" and including videos from a folder ??????) If anyone has an easy way to get them in, please let me know
  11. S2 is the best the you can actually buy at the moment - there is ALWAYS a better one around the corner No-one knows if current crop of Android phones running Gingerbread (2.3) will be upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0). You decide Si
  12. What I'm looking (I think anyway) is some sort of non-linear relationship between "real" height of rocket and Scratch y screen units so that as the rocket gets higher it doesn't appear to move as much on the screen. I've already got a simpel scaling factor in here is effort so far (Which isn't too bad) Scratch | Project | rocket4 Si
  13. We all have a set in this condition So why would we want more? Si
  14. Laphroaig There is no other. End of. Si
  15. ..simulation I'm writing a rocket simulator in Scratch and want the rocket to appear to take off and reach orbit but I need some non-linear function to translate the real distances 0 - 1000000 metres to -170 to 50 (these are Scratch Screen units) I'm looking for a function that will approach a limit on screen of y=50 when real height is 1000000 but if the rocketeer makes a bigger orbit - I need the function to stop the image disappear off the top of screen My maths mojo has deserted me! help please Si
  16. Oh yes - and in daily use as a file server as I can't be bothered to change things to point to my w2k3 server - if its not broke - don;t fix it is my policy (To be fair - its actually got to be completely busted before I'll get off my backside and do anything ) And my last Win98VM is the VM of a machine setup by ChrisH 10years ago, in his previous job, and it has great sentimental value Si
  17. I was just going to ask the same question as I've come to install OpenOffice on a new set of netbooks. Is there any tech reason to switch or have you just done it to support the "good" guys? Si
  18. I've switched off my penultimate Win98 virtual file server but I couldn't find the Win98 section to post this in
  19. I used to be able to unblock Youtube via Lancs myLGfl filtering control. I can still unblock the main site but the videos don't actually play - get "an error occurred - please try again later" (but it never works later ) Do I need to unblock something else as well? Si
  20. This isnt such a great offer nowadays as they've brought out new titles such as 2 create a super story which aren't included. And I don't know of any primary schools with £1000 to blow on software this year -that gravy train has left the building But handy for those headteachers that are feeling guilty about exceeding their single licence copy of 2IVT and want to be legit Si

  22. I use a simple Google Calendar in 4 of my schools (I'm presuming that there will be either a nice IOS app for it or the mobile site will looks OK on an IDevice ). Very easy to setup and use. Simon
  23. time1.xls Just knocked this up - is it the sort of thing your looking for? Si
  24. Anybody know of any free programs/online stuff (Like The Children's University of Manchester) to let pupils do simulations? Simon
  25. I use it in all my schools But of course, I use it simply as in all users startup batch file. This means I don't have to worry about the software install being silent which makes life a lot easier. Simon
