A man with a ridiculous beard

Alun Thomas’s Home Page

This is still very much a work in progress (not so much a home page as a potting shed page really), right now there are only a handful of links, but hopefully within a few weeks I should have a somewhat more content-rich website. The general plan is to be able to display photos from recent escapades so that my family and friends can keep up with what I'm up to.

About Alun

The narcissistic bit of my homepage, ostensibly for people who don't know me to learn a bit more about me, me, ME.


Links

AndrewStephen.com
Andy's website has photos, journals, gadgets and... cats.

The Wonderful World of Jason Thompson
A mate of mine's much more professional looking website, with lots of photos and stuff from Wilco, Hoboken etc.

Phil McTimoney's Home on the Web
Phil's also got pictures from Bermuda and Vegas, as well as a nice line in dry northern wit.

Photo.net
If you are even vaguely interested in photography, take a look at Philip Greenspun's massive and completely excellent website. He also has some equally interesting bits about web-publishing; which, if you read it, will illustrate how much I ignored.

How Stuff Works
If, like me, you are kept awake at night wondering how everyday household (and not-so-much everyday household) objects work, your cure for insomnia is here.

Wilco
I feel strangely compelled to incude this link, probably because I used to work for them. Though last time I tried it, their server was down.

royalblue
I now work for these guys in downtown Manhattan as a Project Manager.
