Few Rocks, Little Bumps and Forward Progress....

PageMaker Error

So another week has passed and I have to admit it has been a fun and exciting week (even for a short week)!  With some minor glitches, phones are up, projectors are "projecting", and laptop can find the Internet.  All good things in a school...

I had to remind myself that this is a TEMPORARY location.  Just like the Principal said..." It's time for the busses already?" this last Monday.  It's been that way all week, I think.

Technology Tidbits...

All district phones call now be called by their four (4) number extensions from inside the district.  I remeber when it was possible to call almost anywhere in Vermont on sever digits, so four is almost like going back to the '60's... (Whoops, I might be dating myself....)

So, just to see how good you are with OLD technology, I'm placing a few "out-dated"  objects here...

If you know what there objects are, Comment below...  Who knows, if you get then all right there might be a prize in it...

See you all next week, have a nice Labor Day "mini-vacation"...

Why? You might ask.  First off, by today's standards, VGA is a "low resolution" standard.  The projector connection also required a USB to the audio systems of the device presenting so not one but TWO cables were required to the device.  One of a laptops or tablets strength is "portability", but when tethered to a projector, it looked more like astronaut to a space station; very limited "portability".   (Along with the cords looking like a lifeline!) Enter HDMI .... "HDMI  ( High-Definition Multimedia Interface ) is a  proprietary  audio/video  interface  for transmitting  uncompressed video  data and compressed or uncompressed  digital a...
