  1. Meal awaiting on return from Seville: grilled quail and squash: http://pic.gd/1fff6e It's good to be home!
  2. @jomangogo Nicky makes a compelling case. But then she's an ex-trainee of mine, so I'm easily convinced ;-)
  3. Just attended nice session on integrating technology by Nicky Hockly of @TheConsultantsE at ACEIA conference in Seville.
  4. About to present final scenarios: our group chose "Business as usual" - changes will be cosmetic in spite of affordances offered by ed.tech
  5. Pre-ACEIA conference in Seville: all day think-tank on future of the private language school, with @russell1955 and @NikPeachey among others
  6. High fives to zamzar.com, who manually converted the dodgy .mov file to .wav and .mp3 Thanks guys!
  7. @sethdickens "It's best if you can pull the audio out of the video file" seems to be the verdict. I suspect life is too short!
  8. @EHerrod If needs be I can just read the damn thing aloud! ;-)
  9. Thanks everyone for your help. Meanwhile waiting for Zamzar support team to see what they can do. My fault for being seduced by technology!
  10. @EHerrod Hmm. I get error message, and .mov is not one of the suffixes listed. Maybe my ppt is out of date?? But Zamzar have offered to help
  11. @EHerrod Tried inserting it as if it were a movie, no go.
  12. @sethdickens Yes, it's QT mov file format, but just audio. I can play it off the laptop, but that might involve f*ff*ng.
  13. @EHerrod It's an audio file. Tried to import it, rejected (ppt doesn't recognise) so tried conversion. Now Zamzar are tweeting me too!
  14. @zamzar The conversion I guess. Email says there was a problem. Tried .mov to .wav twice, then .mov to .avi. No go.
  15. Trying to convert .mov audio file to .wav or .avi to upload into ppt, but zamzar.com fails each time. Any tips?
  16. RT @dfogarty: Self-promotion is anathema to me. Tell your friends. The Tao Te(a)ching. http://bit.ly/13wsjR
  17. @kalinagoenglish http://bit.ly/1drYfX Great speaker. Bad hair!
  18. Enough of this erudite nonsense! Off to have lunch with Jeff Mohamed (ex-IH Libya, London etc etc)
  19. @SugarJo I think in fact he sprinkled it on his corn flakes! ;-)
  20. @Harmerj Egyptian hieroglyphs deciphered by crosslinguistic comparison (Rosetta Stone), and Linear B similarly?
