I remember that being the biggest impression I took from looking at my stats the first year my site was up. It truly is a World Wide Web.
I’ll never forget in 1997 the first time I saw a visitor come to my site from Russia. To me it was (and still is) mindboggling that someone was sitting in their home somewhere deep in Russia, using who-knows-what kind of computer and opertaing system, accessing picutres and words I’d put online in Atlanta. The perennial barriers of human languages, computer languages, political ideologies, and simple distance were wiped away before my eyes.
Today, we take it for granted.
There’s another side of that same coin, and we take it for granted as well. Though you and I likely pass within a mile of each other on a semi-regular basis (much of the photo community is located near the Tech campus), I wouldn’t have a clue who Zack is if it wasn’t for the World Wide Web.

Hey, I think I’m being low-balled here. I feel certain I’ve made more than two (now three) comments on your site.
Posted by: PhotoDude (13 comments) at July 29, 2003 10:41 AM
PhotoDude: True.
BTW you know what I look like, so if you see me on the street, feel free to meet me.
I think 3 comments is correct. I searched my database to see if you had used a different email address, but came up with nothing.

you forgot Syria!

Abdullah: That’s because your DNS doesn’t have the Syria domain. Thanks for letting me know.

Note: Disagreements are welcome, but please keep it civil. Any comments full of hatred, bigotry, trolling or spam will be deleted and the commenter banned. Do read the commenting policy.
Valid XHTML: You have to preview your comment to make sure that it is valid XHTML 1.1. You will see the "Post" button on the preview page.
Urdu: To comment in Urdu, include "p[ur](urdu). " (with a space at the end and without the quotes) at the start of every Urdu paragraph. If you want to write an Urdu word(s) in an English paragraph, do it like this: %[ur](urdu)اردو%. If you want to put an English word(s) in an Urdu paragraph, write it like this: %[en](en)English words%.
PGP Signing: PGP-signed comments are encouraged. However, clearsigning Urdu text with GPGshell produces garbage.
MathML: Select the Textile with itex to MathML text filter. What you'll use is itex, which is a superset of WebTeX and differs somewhat from standard LaTeX.
Text Filters: For regular comments, whether in English or Urdu, keep the text filter setting to its default of Textile 2. Change it to Textile with itex to MathML when writing MathML.
Dang, now that’s what i call variety…
A friend of mine is from Mauritius, off the coast of Africa. Technically, she’d be considered of Chinese origin, but her family has lived on Mauritius for several generations, so they speak fluent French and a dialect very similar to Creole instead. Really interesting.
