There are a bunch of us at The Astronomy Center in the North of England, who are building a 42 inch (1.06 metre) robotic/Internet telescope. We have finished building the 30 foot (10 metre) dome that the telescope will live in, and are half way through building the grinding machine for figuring the mirror. Lots more information on the web site above. More volunteers are always welcome.
Pace Micro of Saltaire, England are a major manufacturer of set top boxes. A year ago they entered into an agreement with Sega to add dreamcast technology to their STBs. Pace are now all but tits-up (although that is mostly to do with the Football League, ITV digital, Enron and Worldcom).
Hi Tim - how are things? It's a small world, isn't it?
I met the Jenny's when they gave a presentation on amateur radio astronomy at LBW2000.
Also check out my posting "The Astronomy Centre"
about our project to build our own 42" reflector -
we're just starting on building the machine to
grind the mirror

Paranoid con-man IMHO.
Logo and Turtle graphics are my recommendation too. Even better if you can make a real turtle (out of lego mindstorms perhaps?). Plenty of hits on Google, and they even give a metasearch link to: This link
At least they have fixed the index.html page. Yesterday if you didn't have flash, you just got a blank screen. More at The Register Contention ratio of 50:1, with 20:1 for business users. Being rolled out slowly - only a few major urban areas get it in July. At least it's a start. They will probably overtake the clueless Cable companies. I have had a fibre optic cable almost to my door for years now, but they don't seem to want to sell me bandwidth.

Here in the UK we have the "Telephone Preference Scheme". It works. I get no more than a couple of cold calls per year.

Cloudless skies? You mean it wasn't raining?

There's one in Lisdoonvarna
Come on folks - for those of us that can't make it, how about letting us see how you are all getting on. And the web sites could do with updating too.
