About Me

Paul Sutton / January 14, 2014 / Comments Off

WELCOME TO MY WEBSITE

I am currently employed in an after school club as a playworker. I want to expand my roles and responsibilities in to supporting IT / Computer Science / Programming in the classroom as I have a lot to share. I am currently learning programming with python and tkinter.

I am involved with running the Torbay Raspberry Pi jams and also attend the Exeter Jams. I am really keen and people have actually commented on the amount of enthusiasm I have for this. The Pi really has made a difference.

My blog is a record of what I am or have worked on. Within a school I can work along side children / young people and importantly teachers to produce teaching resources and perhaps run clubs which I have some experience of.

SAFEGUARDING

I am signed up to the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) update service which is designed to keep data upto date and reduce the need for a new DBS check for every post gained.

I am committed to safeguarding children, young people and 
vulnerable groups and expect any school or establishment I am 
involved with to share this commitment.

HTML 5 lists

Paul Sutton / July 19, 2014 / Comments Off

I recently had the need to update a website with a list of links to meeting minutes, I wanted to create a list but in reverse order so that the list would go 3,2,1 as the 3rd meeting is the latest meeting that occurred and therefore ideally should be at the top.

HTML 5 seems to provide a solution to this. In general html lists appear as

Item 1
item 2
item 3

Source code

<ol>
	<li>Item 1</li>
	<li>item 2</li>
	<li>item 3</li>
</ol>

However in html 5 it is possible to have a list going in reverse

Item 1
item 2
item 3

Source code

<ol reversed>
	<li>Item 1</li>
	<li>item 2</li>
	<li>item 3</li>
</ol>

I have put the above code in as text as my plugin doesn’t seem to support html5 yet

Skype

Paul Sutton / July 12, 2014 / Comments Off

Ok just got skype back up and running

I had to do a few extra steps to get this working properly

after downloading

sudo dpkg -i skype-ubuntu-lucid_4.3.0.37-1_i386.deb

Don’t bother with Ubuntu software centre, the command line is far easier.

In my xubuntu panel there seemed to be a suggestion there were a few problems so typing

sudo apt-get install –fix-missing

Installed the extra dependencies needed (or should have) anyway skype seems happy either way, not sure why this hasn’t been updated since ubuntu 10.04.

If you want to add me, please use psutton111
