I closed down bionikmonkee some time ago but have recently started up a new one which I will add to when the time allows! Find it at: http://photoshoppod.wordpress.com

Rather than being about graphics in general, this will focus on Ps & hopefully will contain useful links for both staff & students.

Comment on Shropshire ICT Student Conference by Dale

Dr Stuart Slater is letting us know about the activities in the Department of Games and Animation. Many students win loads of awards, including BAFTAs, for their university work. Interesting point about remote development where the developers never even met.
C/C++ and JAva are the programming tools to know. Maths skills are lacking in students who come to the department.
You can’t get a job as a developer without maths skills. You need some business skills. Working as a team is important. The ability to reuse. optimise, document code is important. Graphics skills are important – what other things are you doing in your spare time?
Other important skills that are lacking – business skills, commujnications skills, team working, working to deadlines, ability to work with managers under instruction, punctuality, attitude. Learn to be professional.
Learn to use your own brain with the technology.
He mentions the business incubators in Shropshire (Priorslee) and asks people to get in touch.

Comment on How safe is your portable data? by Keith Stonebanks

I can see the need for this, but shouldn’t the council be suggestion some standisation on encryption. The issues I can see here are teachers moving form school to school and finding differing encryption technologies and having to change their laptops and sticks each time.
