Very odd, Kekai. A traceroute to your IP dives into the Qwest internal network and dies at that point - but responses do NOT seem to come from Seattle. Qwest may have it's gateway servers to the internet centralized in some way. (Whois info in the IP is even more confusing.)

Heh. 'Puter education in elementary school. Science fiction for us old farts - I was still using a slide rule (usually a Pickett 1010ES) through high school and beyond. It wasn't until I was already an engineer that I even got my first calculator - an HP-35 in 1972 (first commercially available hand-held calc came out in 1971, from Sharp, IIRC).
When I was in school, 'puters filled rooms, were programmed by being re-wired, and fed input from card readers or toggle switches...and cost millions.
Times certainly change.
I have a wristwatch with more memory and faster brain than the 'puters that took man to the moon.
