Gibraltar - said to have a few residents less than Chippenham

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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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

We've spent the day in Gibraltar - seeing the sites and scenes / doing the tourist "thing" with just a few hours to look around. Gibraltar is a bustling place, and I was surprised to hear of a population of just 31,000 - putting it a little smaller than Chippenham or Trowbridge, and slighlty larger than Melksham. I think we have something to learn in terms of tourism - although we've no great cliffs, no dock for cruise liners, and some will tell you that are "monkeys" are rather more human ;-) ... each picture will be shown bigger if you click on it.
