	Welcome to the astounding.org.uk astounding web pages, hosted by Amos the mbu puffer fish. This is Amos, he was a freshwater puffer fish, a member of the species Tetraodon mbu. We kept Amos from early 1996 to November 2001, when he died. There's more about him, in memoriam, on Ian's pages.

What's here?
Pages by Ian	Pages by Jane ready soon.
Ian's pages are mostly about fish, radio control hovercraft and computers. The fish bits include Amos the puffer. The computery stuff includes GPSion5, RC5mX and a microprocessor controlled coffee roaster. His other big interest, bridges, has not been added yet.	Jane's pages don't exist yet, but soon...
Pages not exactly by Rachel	Pages not exactly by Laura either
Rachel's pages are mostly just pictures of herself from her first year, but that's only to be expected, because she's so beautiful.	Astoundingly, Laura turns out to be just beautiful too! More pictures.

What are the pages optimised for?

Nothing, we hope. Ian's operating system of choice is Linnux, and part of the philosophy of Linux is 'free' software. Free in this context does not mean without cost, it's more to do with freedom. Tying users to a proprietary standard by 'optimising' away their choice is a bad thing. We hope everything here complies with an HTML standard.

Aren't these pages under construction?

Of course they are, have you ever met a personal homepage that wasn't? We last made significant changes on February 10, 2007, so if you've been here since then, you can probably go away again.
