Love it! Learning Python, quite quickly for a 57-year-old.
Hoping in a few weeks my Raspberry Pi project (PiLab) won't know what hit it.

I'm not familiar with Codecademy's offerings as I have not been working in the languages they teach.
As for where to go next, coursera.org[^] offers many classes covering a wide range of languages and concepts. I'm also in the middle of two courses (self-paced) from https://www.udacity.com/[^].

What are you talking about? they teach in English!! 
I've already looked up Coursera and Udacity, I'll probably do some of both.
thx

I remember when 3G came out, many years later it's still pretty slow.

Sorry, this won't mean much to anyone outside the UK.
Above my head in the office is a TV showing the news. I can't hear it, but I can see it is following the three Police chiefs who have been summoned to explain their actions over the 'plebgate' affair to a panel of MPs.
Where did this thing come from? I thought that unless you broke the law in this country you didn't have to account for your actions to anyone. Whilst I can understand public servants being called like today, and Chris Patten for the BBC previously (as this is ultimately reporting to your superiors), Murdoch has also been summoned and he doesn't even live here.
It's like being called to the headmaster's office and having the whole thing televised. I don't care for it, even though the three today do have some explaining to do.
Regards,
Rob Philpott.

Trouble is, on the one hand you have the Metropolitan Police, who almost nobody trusts to tell the truth, and who famously cover up for each other.
But...on the other hand you have a politician.
So my guess is they are all lying.
Why is it public? Because there is a general election in a year or so, and the government wants to be free of the stink of elitism in time to tell us they are just like normal people...

I know an MP quite well and he is not, I can assure you, a millionaire. They may all be scum bags of the highest order but at least tarnish them with the correct brush!

Well you obviously misread who my comments were aimed at, as shown in griff's message.

Yes, but a specific group.

So was I and I think they may be the same group.

That, whether true or not*, is of far less import than the fact that an elected representative of the people felt compelled to resign his post because of an unlawful, undemocratic campaign, which was callously orchestrated by members of an organisation whose job it is to protect the law and the democratic principles of the nation.
IMO, the officers involved should be charged with treason, even if Mitchell is a tory.
* Probably not. During the fuss about expense claims, he was all but ridiculed for claiming tiny amounts for simple office supplies, not for claiming fortunes for floating duck palaces.

It was stupid last year, it's stupid this year, and I predict it'll still be stupid next year. Fortunately it doesn't get a lot of coverage here.

And, of course, this costs us absolutely nothing.

The Home Office is the boss of the police, so the Home Office minister certainly does have the right to carpet his employees (on behalf of the people).

Yoda just turned me on to a UK rock band (Thunder).
Thanks. I didn't need that extra money anyway. Hang on a moment while I open Amazon in a second tab...

Yep, that's the kind of stuff that's going to cost me money.
Pete, if you ever make it to the states, you're definitely buying the booze.
