First on the agenda was to correct a bunch of entries in the freeware list. I've also added a handful of new entries: Books, Check Off, MorphX, and Free Ruler. More interesting things to come. http://www.nicktech.org/homeworkhandin.html http://www.nicktech.org/homeworkhandin.html Fri, 14 Mar 2008 22:00:00 GMT Made some improvements to the Homework Hand In script including enhanced error checking, Leopard compatibility and revised setup directions. http://www.nicktech.org/applescripts.html http://www.nicktech.org/applescripts.html Tue, 11 Mar 2008 22:00:00 GMT The Select Default Printer, Logout and HomeWork Drop applescripts have been updated to work with OS 10.5 (Leopard). I plan to test everything in the Applescript section against 10.5 this month. JUST GOT ENGAGED!!!  Exciting stuff!  Currently building a web site for the wedding, and would appreciate any suggestions on what the site should contain http://www.nicktech.org/freeware.html http://www.nicktech.org/freeware.html Tue, 29 Jan 2008 22:00:00 GMT SpiceWorks is a wonderful tool for keeping track of what is on your network, how the nodes are configured, and how your network is running. PHPLIST is an open source newsletter managment which can be graphed onto an existing website. http://www.nicktech.org/ObjectReports.html http://www.nicktech.org/ObjectReports.html Sun, 16 Dec 2007 22:00:00 GMT It seems that ISBE changed around their student transfer form once again. As such, I have revised the correlating report for PowerSchool. Check out the new version in the Object Reports section. http://www.nicktech.org/PS_Discriptions/registration.htm http://www.nicktech.org/PS_Discriptions/registration.htm Tue, 20 Nov 2007 22:00:00 GMT Just put the finishing touches on a brand new registration screen for PowerSchool. This will Help you collect all that need-to-have student information on a single page. http://www.nicktech.org/freeware.html http://www.nicktech.org/freeware.html Mon, 17 Sep 2007 22:00:00 GMT For those fortunate enough to own one of the newer Intel Macs... GOOD NEWS. I've just added iRed Lite to the Free software list which greatly extends the use for that tiny Apple remote. This app allows the remote to control many system actions and programs, including PowerPoint. Comes in very handy for presentations in and out of the classroom. The remote buttons can also be mapped to applescripts (the possibilities are endless). http://www.nicktech.org/ARD.html http://www.nicktech.org/ARD.html Thu, 06 Sep 2007 22:00:00 GMT Posted a new ARD trick to turn off Dashboard on an local computer account. Because Dashboard has a way of sapping attention from students.
