    Techno-fandom appears to be down hard, and its owner/maintainer
    is AWOL and not answering his mail. I have no idea what's
    going on with it. DNS lookups tend to sit there forever because
    they're heavily dependent on that machine being reachable, so
    browsing to the site will return an entertaining variety of
    timeouts depending on what you're running, DNS caches, phase
    of the moon, etc.

    Lets see...
    ISP dns does not appear to contain records for techno-fandom.org
    Obtained dns from whois.crsnic.net... your domain resolves to 216.235.242.8

    Ping to 216.235.242.8 failed looks like it's firewall is blocking all pings.
    Discovered 3 open ports, one of which is port 80, running Apache httpd 2.2.4 ((Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.3-1ubuntu6 mod_ssl/2.2.4 OpenSSL/0.9.8e)

    Conclusion: your server is up, but your dns appears to be down. Domain name expired?

    Anyway, http://216.235.242.8/~hobbit/ appears to be up and readily accessible.

    The problem at the time, which incidentally was fixed about
    half an hour after I posted, was that the maintainer of
    techno-fandom aka netbusters.com was in the process of moving
    it to a different network, and had rebootability problems along
    the way. Not that he actually *warned* anyone that this was
    going on, of course... so later that night it was back up and
    limping enough to serve webpages, but a lot of other stuff is
    missing or broken and of course the old 155.212.13.217 address
    was still stuck in many DNS caches. Well, things are finally
    settling down. The new machine is behind more firewalling than
    the old one was [generally a good thing] and hopefully a more
    stable network.

    No, I'm not particularly happy about how this was handled.
