700 teachers to go over funding crisis. Schools' money problems are leading to redundancies all over England, a BBC survey finds. [BBC News | Front Page | UK Edition] The government recently freed up some of their repairs budgets for day-to-day running costs, such as staffing. They've done more than just that. I've heard that for ring fenced 'standard's fund' money for which you had to submit a detailed proposal and which had to be approved by the LEA - now just submit any old proposal and it will get approved (with a nod and a wink that they won't check what you are spending the money on).   posted at: 10:22:50 AM   OrgChart. Cool OrgChart Server Control by Dan Whalin. [via ScottW's ASP.NET WebLog] Nice piece of work. There's some damn cute stuff can be done server side with .NET which just needs a nice frame to show it in <G>. posted at: 10:14:20 AM   Is this the end of Netscape?. The settlement with Microsoft likely signals the end of AOL's waning interest in Netscape, analysts say. [CNET News.com] Well, if IE is dead (denied by Scoble), AOL is gonna be a bit miffed so perhaps one can assume IE is not dead in Longhorn, and given that AOL browser is built on IE bits then one might assume that the IE bits are going to stay around for a while as well...... hmmm which means .NET classes become wrappers on mshtml and there are changes in mshtml to make it work better (faster, easier) with .NET than at the mo. Then again of course, MS could be takin' the mick out of AOL.   posted at: 9:44:59 AM
