My name is Simon Jones, and right now at I have about six seconds to capture your interest before you decide this website isn't your 'cup of tea' and simply click off to some other location in the vast expanse of zeros and ones we call 'the internet'.

'Meanwhile' isn't some kiss and tell online journal, or a voyeuristic 24/7 probe into my life. It's simply a collection of thoughts and moments captured in articles written by me and then shared with you, the world, or at least the few people who might, for whatever reason, find themselves at this website.

This is a BS free zone. A tiny section of the world wide web that won't dish up and serve you annoying little animated ads trying to relieve you of your hard earned cash. There's no cart to fill, no secure pages to take your credit card details, no expectations of any kind. You can read 'meanwhile' without me ever knowing you were here, or you can get in touch, whatever you like, it's up to you.

To read the latest article simply click the link at the top of the page entitled 'latest.'

I used to write 'meanwhile' some time ago. Back then it was called 'Meanwhile Back in Reality', but was more commonly referred to by most simply as 'meanwhile'. I stopped writing articles back in 1999 because I became to busy to devote any time to the site. In retrospect I wish I hadn't done that.

The old articles (or at least the ones I could find) are still accessible from the article index page. You can pour over these at your leisure should you decide that is something you might like to do. You can also search the site.

If you find yourself wanting to know more about who I am, then there is a 'about simon jones' link on each page. If you are so inclined to visit that page, then I suggest that you use your mouse to explore it, son't simply scroll.

Okay, that's the introduction out of the way, now go read!
