January 02, 2003

Oh! Such wacky craziness with the Internet, it hurts my head.

I started off the New Year with visits from Poland, India, China, Turkey, and Japan.

And I found that out by using this tool right here. It's very cool to watch the packets bounce around, and then discover that they originate from some far off place. My Turkish vistor, for example, saw the site via nodes in London and Amsterdam before the packets hit stateside in Virginia. All those little checksummed numbers, flittering about through fiber optics and copper wire and bouncing around the insides of machines across the globe. And while I sit here in New York State typing this, the site itself resides in a machine somewhere in Utah.

It makes me realize anew what all those Islamist pukes are afraid of: the more exposure via Western technology they get, the more glaring their evil idiocy will become. Best to smash all that stuff, and stay hidden away in the medieval dark.

Meanwhile, us infidel Western types are creating bicycle-powered WiFi networks and giving them away to Laotians.
