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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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))
An update on legal changes from the FSB?

"We're with the FSB, and would like to update you about forthcoming changes to the law". So said a caller on the phone to one of our team, and I got the message to call back. Which I duly did.

It seemed a bit odd to the person who took the call that the FSB (Federation of Small Businesses), who have never called nationally before, and are pretty inactive locally at the moment, would be calling. Perhaps a random survey? Anyway - despite the yellow "caution" flag I called back ...

It seems that the company calling are "with" the FSB like we are - they are paid up members of the FSB, but probably no more than that ... and they are visiting pages like the FSB Network page where members can be listed to help sell their services to fellow members, so that they can get in touch and make what is - I believe - a misleading approach.

We're very used to calls like this claiming to be BT and Pitney Bowes ... but the FSB is a new one on me. Clever - but very misleading. It turned out that the caller was really looking to get us to change our energy supplier!
