Here's a selection of website's that I've found useful or interesting in the past.

Here is my ResearcherID profile:

This is the webpage of the Manchester Science Festival project I organised on rainfall:
My current employer, The University of Manchester.
I am currently working on two major projects, COPS and CSIP, here are the Project Homepages: For a little more background and the availability of CSIP data see the BADC CSIP page. IHOP was the American version that took place in 2002 that was similar to COPS and CSIP.
I did my PhD at The University of Birmingham:
My PhD research formed part of a larger research group at BAS:
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.
The AMS is a much bigger organisation, also very good.
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.
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.
Here's a link to the NERC Planet Earth podcast, which I appeared one at one point talking about storms:
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.
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.
Personal LinksSandbag 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:
Here's the link to the website of the Al Gore's Oscar and Nobel prize winning film/powerpoint presentation "An Inconvenient Truth":
This is a really useful site; if you need to include a web address in an article or email or something, then tinyurl will create a tiny URL that never expires.
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.
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.
