The ups and downs of web design

[David]

Working on the web is just like life - stuff happens. Recently I posted some details of a "down", see the Learning to let go (http://www.websitearchitecture.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=109) thread.

So, now for an "up. This morning I received an email from Tajikistan (no, really). Here is a transcript:

Dear David,

My name is Yormahmad.
Currently I 'm learning AutoCAD with my two sons. And I would like to tell that we found your site, especially tutorial very useful.
I work as officer in one of international organizations working in Education sector, my background is mechanical engineer.
We are from Tajikistan (Central Asia country, CIS part of former Soviet Union). In our country it is difficult to obtain proper computer based tutorial and we were really glad to use your tutorial (David's CADTutor). Separate Thanks from my sons, Anvar and Jafar (name of them).

Best regards

Yormahmad

Super pic.

I believe there is a rock in the Western Desert on which a Roman Centurion carved the words: 'There are two things in life: love and power. No man can have both.' I know which is best.
