  1. @lizith Displacement! That's the word I couldn't suddenly remember. Thanks! (This counts towards it too!)
  2. What's the word for when you should be doing one thing, but you're doing another, like cleaning toilets instead of marking?
  3. @KarenK How do they justify such prices? Individuals can't afford them. Even libraries these days will probably choke at such prices.
  4. @josiefraser Speaking of retweets, what was the consensus on format of multiple RTs from your poll the other day?
  5. I started this group to share best practices and ideas about how to reform assessment in higher education. I also... http://ff.im/50KGo
  6. I spend a lot of time marking, usually unhappily. I'm unhappy because it's so difficult and unsatisfying wading... http://ff.im/50Knt
  7. @josiefraser 25% of UK adults never been on the Internet is a fascinating statistic. I'd love to see age/economic demographics on that.
  8. Does anyone belong to any useful/interesting EduTechGoodness groups on FriendFeed? Looking for some suggestions.
  9. I wish FriendFeed's Diigo service used the expanded version with the link's description field; I had to add custom feed.
  10. @dougclow You need a good plague of locusts and some flooding to round it off for the week.
  11. @simonjball I'd just like to point out that *you* don't look like your avatar, or at least not when I met you last year!
  12. The mind boggles: there's a franchised company that goes around cleaning wheelie bins and trash bins.
  13. @sarahhorrigan Same MacBook Pro & AppleCare at regular Apple store is £2400+.
  14. @sarahhorrigan Mike Hays wrote a Java-based file handler for the Mac (Windows/Linux too!): http://tr.im/rnhj
  15. @sarahhorrigan I highly recommend AppleCare for any Apple laptop (but not desktops).
  16. @sarahhorrigan My MBP quote for 3.06GHz 17" with 500-GB 7200-RPM drive & default 4GB RAM was £1867 with VAT & 3 years AppleCare.
  17. @sarahhorrigan If you do buy a MacBook Pro, remember to either call Apple Education or access HE store from your campus. Cheaper prices!
  18. @louis_mallow IE on the Mac is V5.2.3 @2001. It was nice in its time but it's not a modern version of IE by any stretch of the imagination.
  19. @mweller Then their plan would be blatantly obvious and we could challenge them on it. We already knew they didn't support Macs.
  20. @mweller If you can't fill out the expenses form, you can't claim -> OU saves money!
