Yes, I'm writing "The Horse's Mouth" very late today. It was one of those days where the early morning before the trainees arrived leaked away like water between my fingers, and sending the PHP examples that yesterday's trainees wrote on to them and getting ready for today's
tailored advanced Python session took priority. I end the day tired, slightly shorter of words than usual, but exhilarated at some new examples written. And two more happy customers are heading back home for the weekend.
