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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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

It's only quarter to eight in the evening ... but I'm exhausted to sleep - probably due to the quarter past five start from home this morning. Perhaps that was crazy, but for on site course between 150 and 200 miles from home, I'm torn - to travel out the night before, have the hassle of unloading all the kit into a hotel and then loading it back in the morning for the final drive to the destination ... or the alternative early start. And that's the one that won.

So - where am I? I started from home at 05:15 and stopped after 149 mile at 07:43 for breakfast. I carried on again at 08:10 and had a further 34 miles to travel, which took the best part of an hour - the very last 8 miles taking a half of that hour.

I'm now in my hotel room ... the picture was taken during a short walk, during which a takeaway meal was collected and brought back in. The room overlooks the busiest railway line I think I've seen in an age, with services and colours from a veritable glut of operators. I expect I'll sleep through.
