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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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

This is the time of year that, for a few days, our training centre turns much more into a home - and that's not a difficult task as we "live above the shop".

On Christmas Eve, we celebrated Christmas for a gaggle of youngsters who couldn't be with us on Christmas day. Chicken dinners, presents under the tree, the inevitable quick trip to the 24 hour store for batteries, and friends and parents helping undo reluctant wrappers and helping the younger ones learn which toys were suitable for use where.

On Christmas Day, a less exuberant (but much enjoyed) Christmas for adult friends and family - and our first chance to try out the kitchen - fitting finished earlier this month. And it worked fabulously!

On Boxing day, we were all getting computer withdrawl symptoms ... and it turned into a normal working day. Well - not QUITE a normal working day, as I'll be telling you in a few days.

A great time to celebrate and be thankful for what we have. Good health, great friends, family and contacts. Jobs we enjoy. Space to do what we want, and enough of most things to meet our needs (and things can always be adjusted to ensure we continue to have enough of most things).
