School Freebies is delayed!! Oh noes…

Posted on by primaryt

Sorry everyone , I’m working at full speed today but I’m a little behind because I took some time out to go meet a neighbour to talk about wind power.

They have quite a large tower provided by Evoco – it looks great, I love how wind towers look on the horizon. People who hate on them deserve to be ignored.
So expect the freebies very late tonight as I am going out for a meal with a friend to akhbars Bradford.
I made a start on my school holidays last night which will be live in a few weeks probably, nothing too exciting, just a site where schools can put holidays and interface with them using gmail calendars, outlook, api, email and rss…. Consider it open source term date storage or something. I don’t know I just know I need it for a site I’m working on so I made a new service….
UPDATE – I’m working on it! Jeez you folks are hungry! Freebies coming tomorrow instead of today due to “having” to drink wine before it goes off!

My school closures needs you!

Posted on by primaryt

Since the WHO announced that school closures may stop the spread of swine flu a lot of parents, teachers and schools have been registering on My School Closures.

As My school closures is a completely free service we need volunteers to help us monitor all the school closure requests and also help spread the word so no school misses out!
For those who aren’t aware what my school closures is then basically it is a website where schools, parents and teachers can register their email address and mobile(sms) number and recieve free emails and sms notifications if their school is closed.
Learning authorities and district’s worldwide have adopted this open source method to this problem as it is easily embedded into a website or learning platform meaning that parents do not need to visit the my school closures website to recieve the information they need or to subscribe to the service.
Please get in touch if you think you can bring something to our team!

The film that passed me by..

Posted on by primaryt

I watched Terra for the first time the other day and it is a good film, way better than a lot of the other animated stuff. I’m guessing cause it wasn’t made by pixar or any of the other big players in Hollywood that it kinda passed us by?

Was I in a bubble when this came out or did it never get any publicity?
Either way go buy it at amazon or download it, if you do download it then remember to buy some merchandise or something not that I’m justifying illegal downloads..
Get it in blu-ray if you’re a TV geek, I watched it on standard DVD and it was great but I bet it is awesome in blu-ray!
