Joomla! part 2: ‘Excellent extensions

By itself, a Joomla! installation is often lacking in some of the functionality expected of a modern website. This is made up through a gamut of free,… Continue reading Joomla! part 2: ‘Excellent extensions

Struggling sessionals
It’s a generally-accepted view that university professors are paid more than burger-flippers. However, many students would be shocked and appalled to learn the wages at McDonalds are significantly higher than those received by a full quarter of the university’s teaching staff. Sessional instructors at the university comprise 25.7 per cent of the overall academic staff.… Continue reading Struggling sessionals
