Looking back through some photos

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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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 Sunday afternoon - and a Bank Holiday one at that. I'm not sure why (suggestions of age and workload are probably along the right lines!) but I lay down just after lunchtime and dozed ... and, up again now, I am starting to do some low key stuff including labeling up some old pictures.

Photoshop is, of course, a marvelous piece of software for adding art and zest to a dull picture such as this one of a steam engine at Bressingham, taken just a fortnight ago. You may argue that the best place for this picture was the recycle bin - but, hey, I'm an amateur and an amateur will show you as many of his pictures as he possibly can. In fact - if you want to see the other ones that I have just been labeling up they are here

Another picture - from last Thursday, at Bibury. [more pictures of Bibury]. A certain timelessness, and an opportunity to take a rare picture - one that has no road, no vehicles, no signs of the 21st or even the 20th Century in it. Or so one might think, but I do wonder as to just how similar (or otherwise) this scene might have been in 1908 rather than 2008.

And finally, a pair of pictures that lead me to start thinking just how European we have become in Great Britain - with photographs on the steps in Norwich and in Rome.
