Professional Organisations

I've been a member of RMetS for a few years now and am quite active with the north-west local centre. It's well worth the money.
Royal Meteorological Society

The AMS is a much bigger organisation, also very good.
American Meteorological Society

Both the AMS and the RMetS have given me money to attend conferences at various times. I am grateful.

I've also been a member of the IoP for a while too. Their Environmental Physics group is particularly interesting for Meteorologists and Climatologists.
Institute of Physics

EGU don't really provide much for their members but they do lay on one of the largest Geoscience conferences. Their website can be a pain to find anything on though.
European Geosciences Union

Here's a link to the NERC Planet Earth podcast, which I appeared one at one point talking about storms: NERC Planet Earth podcast

Research Pages is a networking site, like Facebook or Linkedin, for scienctific researchers where you can add details about yourself and projects you work on. There's a bit of a UEA/climatology bias to it at the moment but then it was set up by a climatologist at UEA.

I'm an Associate Editor of Atmospheric Science Letters, which an online journal published by RMetS.

NOISE stands for New Outlooks in Science and Engineering. It's a campaign to get 14-19 year olds more interested in science and engineering and highlight potential careers. I am currently one of their "NOISEmakers".

I also thought I'd mention that the IPCC put their reports on their website, which is well worth knowing as the print version of the Scientific Report is both big and expensive.
IPCC

RealClimate: this is an interesting blog style site with climate news updates and comment from some interesting people from the field.

It's probably time you tried OpenOffice, isn't it?

I'm a big fan of Richard Dawkins and I think his work on the public understanding of science and his celebration of reason should be applauded.

Sandbag are trying to do something about climate change by removing carbon trading permits from the system, what a brilliant idea! Go and buy and destroy some:

STOP! Before you throw that gold bullion away, think: maybe someone else might want it? Well, here's the place to redistribute items that you don't want anymore, there's plenty of people in your area waiting to give stuff away and take you're old stuff.

I met Irina at a summer school recently and she designs cool clothes, here's her website:

This is my Brother and his wife's homepage. I believe they are trying to set up an "IT Solutions"/real-time systems company. Might be worth contacting them if you're interested in that sort of thing.

www.helenandlee.co.uk [might still be acting as their wedding site]

Gordon is a firend of my brother. He is an idiot but he keeps an archive of wedding photos on his site. Might be worth a look if you've been to any of the same weddings as me. I've also pinched a bit of html from his site. ;)

This is a webcam that points out of my office window. It's maintained by my office buddy, Hugo. You should be able to see the Holy Name church and some more of the University. It is, however, more often than not offline as Hugo is a moron.
