You could always give Suits Plus a try. They're pretty damned cheap and have a load of machine washable ones...

I do this for anyone I have not seen with it before, explaining about copyright laws and such - then give them a few days to sort themselves out... I'm not totally heartless.

How about an app that puts a guide on the screen telling left handed people where to put their fingers? Or one that just stops it dropping ca.........................!

"Well he did say he was a pretty fly guy"

I have a policy regarding iTunes: The school does not hold the licenses for the music so, I see it... I delete it. Draconian measures away!!!! :-)

I did walk away from this type of job once - I was only about half a mile away from home and was getting carp because people weren't in... I handed my stuff to the supervisor, told him to shove it (the long version) and walked home. After a brew to sort myself out I felt alot better and got on dealing with temporary unemployment. Funny thing was - they arrived to try and pick me up for work the next day! I explained the meaning of my previous comments to them and asked which part of that they didn't understand.

"And now, Bond - with the press of this button I shall"... *Click*...... *Click*...... *Click*...... "err".... *Click*, *Click*, *Click*..... "Keviiiiiiin?" Note: Not all support engineers that work for evil overlord types are called 'Kevin'

Airsofter here: Get to really 'play soldier' as you get kit that looks real (real enough that they're illegal in public - but not at proper designated sites), full auto plus with some kit you get a good bit of recoil. (A friend of mine almost dropped one of my sidearm rifs due to the recoil!). And its cheaper.

I can see that this app will only end in a number of iphones being embedded in a number of ipads... *awaits pictures of the 'oops' moments*

I can see a whole new load of message notifications for my phone... :-) (not a site you want to introduce the kids though as I can guess they'd overuse a certain button there...)

Also - always remember the power chords for your amp...

One of my friends is a veritable gold mine of little gems: On Mapreading: "Is this blue line a road or a river?" On wanting some lined paper: "Can I have some plain paper with lines on?" On generating a character for SG1 Roleplay: (While he is sorting his equipment Myself and the DM are discussing the type of character he'll invariably play) "You all make me out to be some kind of psycho." (then, with only a short pause) "So, if I spend a gear pick I can have 75 extra rounds for my glock?" *Note: He didn't even realise what he'd said until I almost fell off my chair laughing*

A very interesting article - and a good read. Just a shame that there are too many in power out there that think computer games are the work of the devil.

Sounds like the key is stuck (or something is under it pushing the small rubber 'nub' down). Have you tried lifting the key off (don't worry - it'll snap back into place as long as you're careful) and checking for anything under it?

Go with the Desire, I've had mine a couple of months now and absolutely love it. At the end of the day though - you're really deciding whether to sell your soul to google or apple.

I remember once finding: A huge amount of videos, all water damaged so me and the NM had a contest to see who could 'punt' one furthest down the corridor, and a sixth form student's coursework from 7 years previous. There was still a teachers name on some of that so I handed it in, apologising for it being a little late. We've also built a two story tower out of laptop boxes, walled a teacher into a room and I've almost run the headmaster over 'trolley surfing' down the corridor.

As I support several sites, my general useage toolkit is my laptop rucksack. It contains errr........ Laptop (with server management tools installed and a few installation programs on - plus contains my 'portable' documents) Mini Toolkit - containing screwdriver with a big range of different bits, jewel 'driver set, snips, pliers, torch, cable stripper, long tweezers, allen keys, solder iron and punchdown tool. Cable stapler (and staples) Tape Measure Electrical tape Cable Ties CD Wallet full of software (and a few spare cd/dvds) USB pen drive Couple of spare patch leads Cable Testers Handful of RJ45s Sony PSP and most importantly... Edugeek Mug. Well, that's what it usually contains for day to day work - but things can be added/taken out as needed.

Now that must have livened their party up... I can imagine it now - some people having a good time with a few drinks, there is a brief lull in the conversation then. "RAAAA! Neighbor SMASH!"

Okay - slightly off topic, but this made me think "Breakdance Protocol". You could create whole new T-mobile adverts with a single press of a button, think of it... Hundreds of bemused people bustin' moves...

I can't believe no-one's mentioned a good pint of Speckled Hen! That'll be my evening.

Sometimes with the kids and staff - I think I do work with animals...

I've "Kept an eye on" a few online exams in the past - while not strictly in my job description I never really minded doing it as you can see them reading the questions, hovering the pointer over the correct answer (to your thoughts of "Yes! That one Thaaaaaat Oneeeee!") for them to pick something that is completely wrong. At which point you usually perform a mental facepalm. You do get a good feeling when they get them right and pass with flying colours though...

Snaffled it from the Edugeek stand at BETT - you've gotta be on your toes for one though as regardless of how many our fearless leader gets made, they still go quickly.

As far as evidence suggests it was plugged into a small D-Link switch that has been retired* from service. I'm pretty sure it wasn't the original power supply - just one that happened to be the right output. Still doesn't answer the question as to how it found its way into the school... *found down the back of a teacher PC somewhere and put on my desk.

Now before all you sports buffs start shouting "Heresy!" and planning your trip to Derby to chase me around with pitchforks and flaming torches - I'm not on about Radio 5 Live... At least I think so... As we are all used to random bits of IT equipment / anything with a plug being left on our desks, I didn't even give this example a second glance until deep in thought as to why DNS is playing silly b's my gaze happened to pass over it... I mean, seriously - I'm now confused... Radio 5 made power supplies? What is it doing here? Its been PAT tested? It PASSED? Radio 5? Buh?
