Mark Waller's Home Page

Greetings! Welcome to my web site. If you know me, you may have some idea of what to expect here; if not, you probably don't have any preconceptions on the matter. In either case, I hope you find the contents useful and/or interesting.

Borrowing an idea from a friend, Eddy Welbourne, this page is a gateway between me and the rest of the world: I can go out and look at everyone else's Web, and you can all come in and look at what I've put together. The list below is by broad topic, with links to separate specific pages.

As with many other websites, mine is permanently under development, albeit with less time available than I would like. For the convenience of those returning, there is a list of updates.

Universe - including aspects of mathematics, physics and astronomy
Railways - surveyed in various ways
Language - some thoughts on structure and use
Drinks - mostly alcoholic
Fiction - science fiction and fantasy, my preferred reading material
Me - biographical and other information about me
Links - other things which I have found useful or interesting

Meanwhile, my thanks go to Ian Jackson, for running chiark, the machine on which these pages live.
