You haven't met the people I work with - I know what I mean!

Hmmm,

Maybe I should point out that apart to HWI.com, there's also HWI.net - and there are 7 countries from which visitors have accessed that site which do not yet appear in the list ...

Maybe we should add these? I can't guarantee that all these were vistors since the beginning of the year though - Perhaps some already visited the site last year.

Algeria
Estonia
Former Yugoslav Republic Macedonia
Oman
Qatar
Uzbekistan
Yugoslavia

That means that the letters O, Q and Y would now also be represented

Hi Gerrit,

I am delighted to know that people from those countries have visited HWI.net. Yes, I will be pleased to incorporate them into the list and Simon will add their flags to the front page of the main site. We won't worry too much if some of them visited prior to the beginning of this year.

Please advise whenever another country appears that is not already on the list and we will be pleased to add them too.

Thanks for the info,
Roger

Wonder if we plot all visits on a map, what will it look like?

Hi Allen,

I wondered the same thing. The trouble is, due to the scale, Nauru would hardly show up.

Anyone fancy giving it a go?

Okay, we're international. But are we also extraterrestrial? Assuming there are UFO's from outer space with aliens sampling our music and reading our blogs, chances are good one of these little green men loves Hayley's voice and visits HWI regularly. Isn't one of our members named "Alien"? Well there you go.

Hi Roger,

I've seen some sites with that in google map, perhaps there's a way to automatically generate them. If you don't mind, I can look into that later in the month. Got midterms and papers to finish for the next few weeks...

EDIT: Did a search and found something cool:
www.antionline.com/tools-and-toys/ip-locate/

It shows your location on the map based on your IP address. For a large country like Canada, it's not that accurate since it says I'm from Calgary... which is where my ISP's HQ is located. That's only about 1000km away i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

Hi Allen,

By all means feel free to do what you can with the map whenever you can.

It shows me as being in Guildford which is within 40km of my true location so they have improved somewhat overnight!

Hello Allen!

I think it's back to the drawing board with your link because it keeps telling me I'm in Amsterdam!

I know it's famous for tulips, but I've got two lips of my own, thank you! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

Best Wishes from London,
Richard... or am I Gerrit?

[Raymond]

Hi,

It shows that I am in Milton, Australia.!!!

Raymond

[roger]

Lol! Have a safe journey home, Raymond!

Roger

[gareth]

Wow - it tells me I am located in Amsterdam - that is to say, my ip address

For the time being I won't have to suffer from a split personality

Cheers,

Gerrit

[roger]

I reckon that makes Gerrit the winner! Allen, you did say there was a prize didn't you? No? Oh.... bad luck Gerrit!

steve,
unless the roswellians really are amongst us, we probably arent extraterrestrial. which may not be a bad thing the implications of a hayley concert on alpha centauri are too much to contemplate.
the antionline thing... im apparently 200 miles from myself, it belives im in wellington, sigh.

According to that IP locator, it said that I am in Reston, Virginia. That's over 260 miles away!
