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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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

I find it very hard to capture slopes and hilly tracks in photographs. What I feel is very hilly and quite spectacular out there on the ground turns out to be flat and boring when loaded in from camera and leaves me, let alone my audience, saying "so what". There's a similar issue with some of the wide open views that we have here in Wiltshire.

But I felt that this picture managed to capture the drama of the edge of the Marlborough Downs at Roundway Hill Covert - (more pictures) - a beauty spot that's only 15 minutes from us in Melksham and is worth visiting at more or less any time of year (not that I would be keen on that path in the ice!)

In the last couple of weeks, I've stolen a couple of hours here and there to grab a few extra pictures even closer to home than Roundway Hill ... just look around the corner in Melksham and it's surprising what you can find - or perhaps follow one of thse links if you're not in town at the moment.

And near to Roundway Hill, you'll also find ...
