WTF is this about? From the ABC: Conroy announces mandatory internet filters to protect children. Surely this is some sort of bad joke… it’s more Howard than Howard. “If people equate freedom of speech with watching child pornography, then the Rudd-Labor Government is going to disagree.” Bud I thought this was to stop children stumbling …

EduSpaces bashed by Google?
How odd, just back from a nice break and browsing my stats to see how many hits I’m getting from the new movie (starring Denzel Washington as a much worthier James Farmer than I!) and I noticed that I’m getting quite a few ‘eduspaces’ queries so ran a search on them and, kaboom, there I …
Of the addictions of twits without a life
OK, so before you start, you can read that in different ways, and it made you look didn’t it. Exactly. But I have to say, it was refreshing to hear Simon Chen calling it as it is and expressing something that I’ve been waffling on about over beers for some time but never here… WTF …

Searching for decent FTP Sync software
A request for help! Am looking for a decent FTP synching application for XP (or a dedicated LAMP server) that’ll allow me to keep multiple FTP accounts (let’s say 100 to start with) synchronized with a set of data on my laptop (or said server). So far (on the XP front) I’ve found FTP Synchronizer …
Firefox 2.0.0.11 crashing annoyances
Grrrr… Firefox has been crashing for me at least twice a day (sometimes many more times) since updating to 2.0.0.11 on XP and it looks like I’m not the only one. Coupled to massive memory use am not enjoying FF as much as I used to and am even to be occasionally found slipping into …
On Eduspaces…
Update: Alicia Wyatt posts a quick ‘how to’ (and associated issues) for moving from EduSpaces to edublogs. Shame that Ben and Dave couldn’t manage to keep eduspaces running. (incidentally, if any eduspaces users want help moving over to edublogs then please feel free to email support (at) edublogs /dot/ org for assistance) I have to …
The awards curve
I haven’t done a stats related post for ages, well, an unrelated to edublogs.org one at least, so this is kinda fun. So, you wanna run a blog awards huh? Fancy you’ll get a bot of traffic do ya? Well, you’d be right… but not perhaps where you might first expect. The background to this …
Melbourne tech events need to pull their heads out!
There are a not a great deal of excellent webby get togethers in Melbourne, but there are three that I’ve been to and will probably carry on going to… if they weren’t all on the same frickin night! Come on guys, this is getting ridiculous… tomorrow is MODM 8, Melbourne’s Twitter meetup and Melbourne Web …

I’ll say it again, CommentPress is on edublogs
Every now and then we get a support request for a ‘CommentPress Plugin’ and we kindly remind them that it’s not a plugin, but a theme, and that it’s already available on edublogs (and all the student sites). As Alan comments, it’s a ‘slick, elegant, and powerful way to put papers online’ – however, it’s …
