Should have used Blogger.

Should have used Blogger. Is Groksoup.com dead? (Or is it just resting? And why did it go down on a full moon Friday the 13th?) Seems quite a few bloggers just lost EVERYTHING in their Groksoup weblogs. Ouch.

Well, it seems to be working now. I did have some weirdness, though. Running a traceroute turned up a hostname of "www.grokDoup.com" (my large D) as the true host name for the address, 216.87.2.153. Looks like bad reverse domain records. Probably a typo, seeing as how D and S are near each other on the keyboard. GrokDoup does load in my browsers. However, a whois says the name is available and an nslookup says it grokDoup.com doesn't exist. Check out one of the traceroute servers at Stanford and BetterWhois to see what I mean.
