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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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

It's been an exhausting day ...



... and it isn't even 3 p.m. yet.

Breakfast for five and all checked out. Meeting for 3. Coffee service and meeting for 8. Lunch for 7. ...



... still to come - conclusion of the meeting, and "prepping" for breakfast for 20, and a further meeting and lunch for eight tomorrow.

But, seriously, it's rewarding. Meeting new people, listening and learning life's experiences. I'm stopping by for a mid-afternoon internet 'fix' ... meeting in the Wilts, and I can hear help in the kitchen clearing down. And I'll be raring to go again in an hour.

This is a page archived from The Horse's Mouth at http://www.wellho.net/horse/ - the diary and writings of Graham Ellis. Every attempt was made to provide current information at the time the page was written, but things do move forward in our business - new software releases, price changes, new techniques. Please check back via our main site for current courses, prices, versions, etc - any mention of a price in "The Horse's Mouth" cannot be taken as an offer to supply at that price.
