Sounds cool.. I'm interested in that kind of thing in a peripheral way 
too :)

Curious and *WAY* offtopic so I apologise - have you read Deception 
Point by Dan Brown?  Specifically aimed in the direction of meteorite 
geology and I wondered what an expert would make of it.

Yup me too.... was working for Cardiff County Council.. hating every 
minute and especially my boss... got a call from a friend who said the 
company she was working for were looking for people who were interested 
in the Internet (I was online when she called), technically able (it's a 
computer.. did you want more? ;)), and disabled (apparently got their 
wrist slapped).... never looked back... Well OK I am *now* but you know 
what I mean :)

As I get older I'm realising I want a job I *enjoy* :)
