For 2023 - 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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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)) |
two plus two equals seven
Trivial facts can be drawn together at times to give non trivial conclusions. Two pieces of information which might appear to have no security interest can, when added together, provide the reader with a security nugget or loophole. I recall being told (a) that titanium is required for supersonic planes and (b) a military aircraft company that's building the xxx plane has placed a large titanium order. Conclusion - the xxx will be supersonic.
The same thing applies on the web - only more so. So I'm writing another of my entries today in the full knowledge that one or two readers may draw conclusions beyond the apparently simple facts stated.
