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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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

It's bitterly cold here in Wiltshire at the moment (and the "Global Warming folks are hibernating, it seems!), but how to express that in pictures? A slight sprinkling of snow, ice on the driveway gives something of a clue:



In words, I can tell you of feeling cold (that's unusual for me!) and of huddling over a heater. I can tell you of turning on our second central heating boiler at home. A long story, that one - we're on 4 levels and hot air rises, so we normally heat the bottom and let the bedrooms be a little cooler, but we do have the ability, used in the most brutal of weather, to add an extra boost of upper heat. And I could tell you of finding that both cars had flat batteries and wouldn't start for us on Saturday evening - so we walked into town (yeah - mad!) and warmed up with a really hot curry.

But here's a sunset picture from yesterday evening - with the second car also back and running, I paused at Seend by the canal bridge:



So you can see - it really IS bitterly cold in Wiltshire at the moment!
