Everyone needs an annual holiday - and it'll be ours for the rest of this week. We'll be recharging our batteries in what is said to be one of the most spectacular countries, and one of the most sparsely populated, in this quadrant of the world. A taster will appear here on our return.

Running a small company such as ours that specialises in providing a personal service, vacation time is one of those times when you worry about who's going to answer the phones and what will happen in the event of any crisis. In past years, we've taken great care to ensure that we stay in touch. This year, though, things are a little different. Leah joined us just over six months ago, and has rapidly learnt about what we do and how we do it on top of her technical (Open Source / Web) skills. We're very happy to leave the day-to-day operation (including posting articles to here from my "pool") in her safe hands. Please keep her busy by booking a PHP course for August, a Perl course for September or a Python course for October.
