For 2023 - 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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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)) |
The relevance of the hairy woodpecker
 We're into the forefront of technology ... and also into niche training. So how does that relate to this picture of the hairy woodpecker?
It's an inhabitant of a niche environment in the Big Basin park (near where we're holidaying), and it's specialised and does well in that niche. I felt there was a bit of a parallel there. And it was also a great opportunity to test out some new technology; that wasn't the easiest of pictures to capture!
This Hairy Woodpecker is found in the low-lit museum at the park Headquarters, and the new video-cum-still camera that I'm testing has a low light setting but no flash - you really can't keep flashing with a video cam. Personally, I'm quite impressed with the results ... here's more of the picture.
