Do you know who I am? I'm Graham Ellis, author, and trainer on the Perl, PHP, Python (and other) courses run by Well House consultants.

If you were reading "The Horse's Mouth" from day 1, last August, you'll now this. If you're a customer you'll know it too. But we've been growing; these daily jottings are now syndictated, our printed Newsletter has a steadily increasing print run and there's a good proportion of readers who don't really know my background.

I was talking about this with Lisa earlier today and wondering "should I, like a magazine sometimes does, rework and recirculate the older articles for new readers". Now - Lisa comes from the magazine world and her answer wasn't no - it was "HELL NO". Recirculation shows a lack of good material and a "what do I write about now" issue which is far from the situation. She's right and I already have two good topics for every one I post.

"Should I re-introduce myself" is an excellent topic. Maybe, but not waste even one post exclusively on it. I'm just going to give you a clue as to where you can read more:
