For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
Dilton Marsh

I was up and out early this morning - to visit the station at Dilton Marsh where commuter trains were slashed last December (but not half as much as had been planned) and are threatened again from this December.

Now I'm not a poet, and I feel that the anachronisms that John Betjamin describes would be hard ON THEIR OWN to justify a station. But I sure wish he was still around to be on the team. Perhaps his ghost is - perhaps we may yet snatch a victory once again from the jaws of defeat.

I've put up more pictures on a Dilton Marsh page and I'll be supporting their cause - the same as ours across Wiltshire - for an appropriate train service.

Actually their morning service is quite good. But in the evening it is less than useful and an out-and-back service is only as strong as its weakest link. And my spies tell ne to look out for a 2/3 cut of southbound services in December. That fisherman will have to wait until 22:01 to get back from Westbury if he doesn't make it by 15:29 ... together with all the would-be-commuters in those houses. Of course, they would end up driving, wouldn't they?

This is a page archived from The Horse's Mouth at http://www.wellho.net/horse/ - the diary and writings of Graham Ellis. Every attempt was made to provide current information at the time the page was written, but things do move forward in our business - new software releases, price changes, new techniques. Please check back via our main site for current courses, prices, versions, etc - any mention of a price in "The Horse's Mouth" cannot be taken as an offer to supply at that price.
