  • Apple Digital Bootcamp - 2010-08-23 18:22:57 -

    I have just finished my first day of three at the Apple Digital Bootcamp being held in Alexandra College, Milltown, Dublin. It was a long day 9.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m. filled will hands-on practical workshops. The event was organised by the INTO with the full support of Apple Ireland. Typetec ltd supplied the Apple hardware to the PC community. Both primary and post-primary teachers are being fast-tracked by experts through podcasting, animation, digital photography, videography, music, etc. I can't wait for tomorrow - if I can get up in the morning.

  • WeatherPixie is under the weather - 2010-08-07 15:43:04 -

    The WeatherPixie.com has been experiencing server trouble for the last 6 months and is in need of pixie dust. It was definitely down at the end of February as it was pointed out to me in some of my birthday greetings.  I have just gone onto the site and it is empty except for a Twitter link for @weatherpixieHQ .  Judging from the last tweet on March 7th nothing else seems to be happening. Bearing that in mind I am going to retire WeatherPixie from the sidebar until further developments have taken place on the site.

Akismet Glitch

I moderate all comments as a matter of policy as this site is visited by minors and is part of an international cultural exchange project for European schools. However,  last night ( and most of today, possibly) I had a barrage of adult spam  – 131 all told. Not one item was trapped. [...]

PC v Mac

Pat O’Brien has asked for our help. She wants to know which platform is the most suited for a junior primary school. She uses a PC herself and there are old PCs already in the school but she recently visited a special school which used Macs throughout and she was very impressed.  

Comments Suspended!

I have suspended comments on the “eTwinning Back to School’” post. The 43 comments are political and religious in nature. All the suspended commenters have been emailed – 5 of which proved to be bogus addresses. Thank you for taking the time to comment.

2008 eTwinning Awards

Full details of the forthcoming eTwinning Awards http://www.etwinning.net/ww/en/pub/etwinning/awards/prizes.htm have been posted on the Etwinning portal. I hope that clears up the confusion.

A purpose built blog http://blog.eun.org/etwinning/  has been set up for those of you who wish share your experience of eTwinning or to make an constructive observation.

My Favourite Browser

One of the great spinoffs of being involved in an international project like eTwinning is the social interaction it generates among its participants. Contacts, videos, images and ideas are freely exchanged and a vibrant focused social network soon begins to form and and eventually flourish.

The most suitable browser for this purpose, in my humble opinion is [...]

Dublin arrival of the Sea Stallion from Glendalough

This is a “no frills” video of the arrival of the replica Viking longboat the “Sea Stallion from Glendalough” at Dublin’s Custom’s House Quay on August 14th, 2007.

It was shot in the crush of the crowd but it does capture the atmosphere and excitement of the historic event.

Last night’s Real Player version was a mess. Unfortunately, [...]

Hook Head Lighthouse

I promised to upload the sound and vision of Hook Head Lighthouse in the rainy mist of the August bank holiday. Enjoy!
