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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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

Melksham's Market Square hosts a Christmas Tree each year, and there are lights on the Town Hall. Although it's still a fortnight to the big day, Christmas Parties are in full swing ... indeed, both Lisa and I were out last Thursday evening, and we hosted an event at Well House Manor the following morning.


How many people can I prepare breakfast for? Well - it was twenty on Friday, and I could probably have coped with twice that number if we had the space. Tables laid out ahead of time and a buffet style service allow us to achieve with a small team what would have taken a big team, and a lot of worry, just three years ago. I can recall being asked "how much notice do you need for an lunch event for a dozen people", and thinking to myself that we've probably got sufficient resources on hand to do it on demand if we're not otherwise tied up.


But sometimes it's nice to let others do the cooking, and so it was that the most enjoyable meal I had this week was at "The Magpies" ... a slow roast pork which was quite extraordinary; I could have eaten two portions, except that I might have been somewhat uncomfortable afterwards - much more in my line than the inevitable December turkey
