On this page, I'd like to add a few links to pages that don't fit into any other category. I hope that they're useful to someone! Click on the pictures to find out more.
The University of Nottingham
My PhD has been based in the University, which is set in a beautiful, rolling campus about four miles from the centre of Nottingham itself. I've enjoyed my time here and I'm not alone because it has the most applications for undergraduate places of any UK institution. My work has been based in what is now the School of Chemical, Environmental and Mining Engineering. SChEME was created in 1997 from the amalgamation of the Mineral Resources Engineering and Chemical Engineering Departments and is headed by Professor Brian Denby.
The Camborne School of Mines
This historic School gave me the chance to become a Master of Science. Although a part of the University of Exeter since 1993, the School's location (actually in Pool, between Camborne and Redruth) means that it retains its own atmosphere. It's small but none the worse for that!
The School has a thriving Alumni Association, with groups all over the world. We're kept in touch by paper and electronic newsletters so that we still feel very much a part of the place no matter where we work.
Atari Computing Magazine
A magazine devoted, surprisingly enough, to the Atari ST. TT and Falcon series of computers, plus their modern counterparts the Hades and Medusa. Although the Atari brand name is no longer around, there is a lot of support available to keep these machines going. This magazine helps us keep in touch with the news and does it very well indeed. If you have or used to have and Atari and would like to see what's happening, buy a subscription! It's produced by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts and it shows. It also has some excellent links to other Atari-related sites - probably more than you expected.......
Skyshots
A company, run by a friend, who uses a remote-controlled balloons and kites to take aerial photographs. It contains many examples of his excellent and unusual photos.
The Late Show
Possible one of the oddest but certainly one of the most interesting radio shows on the air at the moment. It is broadcast from the BBC's Pebble Mill studios right across the Midlands on weekday evenings from 9pm. Tony and Julie present a four-hour show that covers a different topic every half an hour up to 1am. It's never bland, sometimes controversial but it's always entertaining and never insults the intelligence of its audience. Turn off the idiot box and give your ears (and your brain) a treat one evening!
