If the site is still up, but the DNS has lapsed, you can probably still get
to it from the IP address, assuming that you know it.

For instance:  Instead of entering http://www.website.com  You would get the
same results with: http://181.18.1.240 if that were the site's address.

(I just made up the above so don't bother trying them. Unless you're in a
weird, serendipitous mood.)

Oversimplification: when you have an address like http://www.website.com:80
(the "port 80" is assumed for public web sites) you are really looking at an
IP address in reverse. The "www" is the last digits ("octet") of the IP
address, the "website" is the second to the last... kind of... depending
upon the address class... okay as I'm typing this I'm realizing that this
isn't going to help anyone, so I'll stop. The point is that the verbal
address is a real literal mirror of the numerical one. Sorry for the ramble,
folks. Back to our regularly-scheduled discussion of sequencers: what they
should have as features, and why in the world anyone would want one with
knobs on it.

Subject:	[motm] Documentation & web update

First, I would like to apologize for those seeking documentation from my web
site.  The server is fine.  Someone (who I have blood relations to) let the
DNS registration for modglin.com expire. Arrghhh.  I expect we will be able
to get the name back (I don't see a high demand for the name <snicker>)  In
the meantime, I do have access via a temporary number (I don't understand
how that crap works).
