Who's where?
on: December 24, 2005, 04:37:52 pm
I was just looking through the HLP map - I'm just curious, who's visiting from Russia, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan (unless that's Israel and the dot's just overlaying), Tawaiin, the Phillipines, Iran (I think that's Iran), China, and Hawaii? Anyone want to speak up? :D

I'm wondering about the Saudi user as well.

...and that one person logging on from, literally, Siberia. Right smack dab in the middle of the frozen Russian wastes.

Maybe they have Net access in the gulags nowadays...

Hmm, either it doesn't log unique visits or someone else is posting from Cali.

Hello! :p

yeah you're right... someone's visiting from Cape Town, South Africa.

Whereabouts in Cape Town?

Posting from Denmark, although there's no dot to be seen there. It seems we've fallen under the dominion of the huge all-covering german dot of doom. But on the bright side, being covered by the german dot sure beats being in the middle of Sibiria. I'm jealous of that guy on Hawaii though :p

I could be anywhere from Great Yarmouth to the Severn bridge, that's the problem with world maps, big dots and little islands like the UK ;)

Nanjing China. I'm not sure who the other guys from China are.

I'm from the large NYC-area dot.
Wash: This landing's gonna get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: *shrug* "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die"?
Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

Psst! Click on the map to get a bigger one, then click on areas of that one for specific continents. :)

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Now that's neat, didn't know you could zoom. Who else is from Denmark? I see a dot at Aarhus, and the Copenhagen one is way too big to be just me... so speak up :D
