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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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))
Helsinki - what comes naturally

Even when it's sweltering in England, it's quite cold in Helsinki and everyone was heavily clothed - I suspect that there was a hot water bottle (and perhaps an iPod too) under that hat.

So perhaps it's as an educational aid to the locals that statues such as this may be found in the local park (or perhaps it's the Nordic way - see Viglandsparkin, Oslo).


The reindeer may look on and wonder about this strange new world ...

... but I am glad to see that the Finns have taken the education further ... I particularly liked the "beware Children" sign behind this sculpture.

I've put up more (and more conventional!) pictures of Helsinki on our wiki - here here and here.
