Re: Aaron Nabil & pdp-8.org

The whois record for pdp8.org lists its DNS servers as ns.spiritone.com and ns2.spiritone.com. What is interesting is that neither of those entries are in the spiritone.com dns servers from my point of view. However DNSStuff can get A records for those queries. This means that they are providing

Re: Aaron Nabil & pdp-8.org

I wrote to Aaron a couple of days ago, and mentioned Jay's offer to him. I did hear back from him -- he's aware of the problem and does have his site backed up. (He didn't volunteer any details about his plans, but I assume he's got things in hand.) Vince

Re: Aaron Nabil & pdp-8.org

Might be obvious, but since we know the IP, and that seems to be stable one can just modify /etc/hosts to have a pdp-8.org address and just mirror the result that way.

Any DNS records pointing to Aracnet or Spiritone servers, are erratic at best, at the moment. Zane > On Oct 6, 2017, at 2:07 PM, Ed via cctalk wrote: > > curious wonder why it works for some but not all... Ed# > > > In a message dated 10/6/2017 1:47:03 P.M.

I was both stuck out of town as well as suffering a local mbox snafu so I did not see this thread. If anyone managed to save it, and the owner cannot be contacted/found, I'd be happy to host it (or at least house it if permission is not obvious). J

I don’t know what happened to Aaron, I’ve not spoken with him in years. The company he used to work for, which has been housing his website, appears to be in the process of falling apart. As it happens, I host my DEC Emulation pages with them as well. Zane > On Oct 6, 2017, at 8:53 AM, Ed
