(1) Why doesn't Network Solutions' web Whois allow dashed-quad notation on

IP lookups, since so many servers dish up their IP addresses that way?

PITA, PITA.

(2) Why does my little secret website get "GET /HTTP 1.1" or wotever

requests all the time, and that's that each time, no further traffic from

that address? (I finally got the word on the single "favicon.ico"

requests, which seem to be a Mozilla bookmarks specialty.)

(3) I just successfully installed my first tar.gz package last night, the

rwhois web-client. Yay!

When a system is set up to accomplish some goal, a

new entity has come into being--the system itself.

Now the system itself has to be dealt with.

Dashed? Dotted, yes?

Maybe it's just a ping from some spyware company. Or maybe it's Homeland

checking you out in case you're a bad guy.

(you know, the "T" word)

Congratulations.

I know you believe you understand what you think I said,

but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not

what I meant.

No, a lot of servers give the address as something like

"snrk-snorkville-svr3-127-0-0-1-snork.net" . . . .

Means you can't just copy-'n'-paste the IP address into the Network

Solutions web-box.

It's trivial but irritating.

Probably just something along the lines of the "favicon.ico" thingie.
