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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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

We try to be helpful ... and when we were getting a lot of hits on our web site for people looking for arrivals at a local public transport place, because we were top Google hit for certain keywords, I dropped them a note to suggest that they make some changes to their web site wording.

I got a really snooty email back - along the lines of "we are Bristol INTERNATIONAL Airport and not Bristol Airport, and if people do the right search for 'Bristol International Airport Arrivals', they do find us".

So I was rather amused to see on the local TV news last night that, with a big fanfare, Bristol International Airport is renaming itself as Bristol Airport. I wonder if that Snooty c*w is still there ...
