Being a list of umr people's web pages, ordered using a complex algorithm involving quality of pages, ontopicness re umr,
which is a debate in itself, frequency of posting, phases of the moon, and a weighting factor derived from the logarithms
of last night's lottery numbers. In other words, pretty random.
2011 update: After the hosting account that drbob.co.uk lives on was hacked, I had to check through all the pages to make
sure they didn't hold anything malicious (hence why most of the site is still missing). So I've been fixing some of the
decade of brokenness while I was here, especially as all this Facebook inspired nostalgia has meant some people have
actually been looking at this page. I've repointed quite a few links, either to new sites or new homes for the old site; deleted a couple,
usually only where someone had more than one link; and put an * in front of dead ones I'll look at later, this being a work
in progress. The order algorithm is now heavily weighted towards still existing.

Technically this is Rupert's site, but Matt and Ben's submaniac was one of the best things to come out of the u.m.r.
universe (imho) so deserves to be here. Why submaniac? It's an anagram of acubanism, thanks for asking.
