NextGen Slideshow Fixed - 2011-09-17 20:53:34 -
I uninstalled the NextGEN plugin and reinstalled it but my gallery links were demolished. I will re-import them to set up a new link table - when I have time. Thanks again for the heads up.

No I am not giving up on blogging or podcasting!

On the contrary, I have 96 private postings from the last 14 months on various topics which I shared with 43 WordPress trainees. 29 of these WordPress enthusiasts are from the eTwinning community and the remainder are teachers from around Ireland and some PC users who attended last year's Digital Bootcamp organised by the INTo and delivered by Apple last summer in Alexander College, Dublin.

I will tidy them up, especially the posts with links and publish them (publicly) over the next few weeks.

Thanks for the "Back 2 School" emails.

Out for the count!

I am sorry to announce that I will have to cancel all future face-to-face meeting until further notice. I cannot shake off this chest infection.

Scratch Day on the way!

Scratch Day is a worldwide network of gatherings, where people will come together to meet other Scratchers, share projects and experiences, and learn more about Scratch.

The Dublin event will be held in the Institute of Technology Tallaght, Tallaght, Dublin 24 starting at 11.00 a.m.

No! Just a simple “pay-as-you-go” model. Texts & calls and I monitor my house alarm with it. It goes on the Net but the screen is too small. # My mobile is a simple device. Science fiction is now science fact-ion. What were once far fetched ideas are being realised on a daily basis. [...]

Invisible Comments

The mystery of the invisible comments has been solved. I deactivated the “Move” plugin and everything sprang to life.

RSS Apologies

I received a Direct Mail Tweet this morning complaining that the Slua RSS feeds were churning out old posts. Actually, I imported the content from three other sites I contributed to until recently and their formats had to tweaked. In some cases it was only a matter of deleting spurious characters which were generated by the [...]
