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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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

I've always found it very interesting to compare pictures taken at the same location a period apart, but in the glut of 2008 pictures anything from (say) 1908 gets swamped. However - here are two I took the weekend before last - the first being of a history board at the station showing the scene as it used to be (1909) and the second showing the current scene, as photographed by myself.





Now - here's another challenge. This old picture is of the river Cam in Cambridge. Can you guess how old it is?



I had lunch today with a photographer - someone who had been a professional photographer, in fact, and enjoyed hearing his comments and experiences. And I thought that having a camera our with me, as I did on Wednesday evening in Cambridge, helped me make something of the lovely weather and time in spite of me being on my own. Walking alone isn't my idea of pleasure, and having a dog to walk "with" wouldn't suit our lifestyle. But a camera does make a good doc substitute.

Than picture above? Oh - it's 2 days old now - I took it in Cambridge myself on Wednesday evening. Isn't it wonderful how a bit of sepia toning can make a picture totally mislead you - or had you guessed?
