Looking for a donkey

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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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

Why is it that the most common-place of things is hard to find when you need it? I was driving around the countryside early this evening looking for a donkey to photograph ....

Commentator	says ...
Cait:	iStock (http://www.istockphoto.com)! All kinds of photos and cheap as chips! :) (comment added 2004-08-09 23:27:22)
Graham:	That's a good link ... 68 donkies for $1 each. You would think that within 68 donkeys there would be something appropriate - and there are several possibilities there - but gee I wish I had a lot more time ... this one will have to wait for the weekend! (comment added 2004-08-10 05:06:41)
Graham:	When you least expect it ... you come across what you're looking for. This picture will fit the bill:. Nice thing is that it's from a contacts site (with approval), and I gives me a chance to point you to that contact's web site at http://www.hobby-box.co.uk where you can buy decorated horse shoes on behalf of the the Donkey Sanctuary. [Damn - the comment software strips some tags. Probably a good thing. I'll put up more links on a new post ;-) ] (comment added 2005-04-12 05:30:55)
