Florida eat yer heart out

I am most disappointed that skiing is still top of my current poll, despite some blatant vote-rigging on my part.  If more snowboarders don't start voting I'll have to post a link on one of the snowboarding forums. That'll sort you two-plankers out ;)

By the way, I was at Xscape in Braehead this afternoon.  Great fun.  Unfortunately none of the jumps were open, but it was still a good laugh.  Beats Dendix!

    Hi Robert, where can I get a 'vote plugin' for my blog?

    On the Skiing debate, the 'planks' are superior to the 'tray' any day!!!!!!!!!

    Hi Tess. LOL - I wonder how many folk reading this know the full expressions you allude to ;)

    A vote plugin is already available in the exc-el wordpress setup. Not sure how you'd get one for a blogspot blog I'm afraid. BTW - did you notice that the vote rigging's coming along nicely now?

    LOL! No worries Robert.

    Watch this space on your vote. I might have to send a circular to all my ski buddies!

    I will leave you to your 'tray'

ActiVote Walkthrough Part 1

Image
At my visit to Musselburgh Grammar this morning, I spoke to some of the maths department about using Activote. They were enthusiastic about the potential of the technology, but said something like "it looks easy as you stand there and explain it, but we'll forget everything you've said by the time we next come to use it". So.... to provide a bit of backup, here's a step by step guide to using Activote with your class. The following assumes that the voting pads have been registered with your PC. If not, chase up IT! Setting up the User Database You'll want your pupil names to be stored in the system, so that their names appear at the top of the screen when you run a vote. Here's how.... In East Lothian, we have a problem - we don't have write-access to the place on the C drive where the user database is stored! To get around this, we need to copy the default user database to somewhere that is writeable, then tell ACTIVStudio that we've done so: I

Someone is looking for the Catburgers!

I was most surprised today to discover that the top search phrase leading people to this blog over the last few weeks has been "the catburgers." This is the name of the indie band I was in back in the late '80s (I sang and played guitar). I can't imagine who might be looking for my old band, unless it is some kids in North Berwick who heard about the band through my son. Whoever it might be, I'll take advantage of this opportunity to post up some mp3s from the good old days, both recorded in 1987.  I just realised that's 20 years ago!  Time for a reunion tour of the states... anyway here are "Children's TV" and "First Day of Spring" for your entertainment: [audio:childrens-tv.mp3] [audio:first-day-of-spring.mp3] After all, you have to keep your visitors happy don't you?
