Not everyone's idea of a good time is the same. Below is a page from the fist web server ever
which was housed on Time Werner Lee's personnal computer at CERN. The rubics are a little,
er, austere: Astrophysics and the King James Bible. Yet it was the birth of the Web and
the gamer community is forever thankful. Happy May Day!
Today the Web is an awesome element in our lives, enabling (me, at least), an easy access
to information and understanding.
On the subject of awesome, that is the meaning of Grozny, the Chechen capital, named
after Ivan the Terrible. Grozny is terrible, formidable i.e. - and it just occured to me
this morning - awesome. Interestingly, Ivan was the first Russian leader to wear the title
of Tsar, which means King, and he was crowned such at age three. Up to that time,
Russian leaders had been Grand Princes, indicating that the leader was yet one of many
princes. In Western countries, grand princes may be siblings of the King, but that is
a different uage. Below is a map of Russia, found on Wiki. I have indicated Moscow, Dagestan and
Chechnya.
