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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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

A wasted evening?
It's when a meeting has trouble agreeing the minutes of the previous meeting of the same committee that you know that it's not pulling as a single body. And it took a whole hour at last night's FSB regional committee meeting to get past that item on the agenda. It's when the HQ representative is seated at the table, correcting the meeting on procedural points throughout the evening, at the expense of getting the business through, that you realise that a committee has lost its direction. And it's when you sit with a dozen other supposedly busy people around a table for over three hours and come away thinking "and what have we really achieved" that you come to realise that this is probably not the best use of your time and efforts. I'm not making any personal or issue specific comments here - they are best left behind closed doors - but I do feel that this commitee, this organisation, may be something I don't want to be involved with for too much longer!
