You might know Doug Engelbart from his 1968 “Mother of All Demos”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mother_of_All_Demos

I just noticed that the domain dougengelbart.org which hosted the Douglas Engelbart Institute pages has expired.

I thought it had been taken over by a content farm because of the stuff Directnic puts on expired domains. If you really want to see it, replace “https:” with “http:”.

The Internet Archive shows that it was still up the 11th of August: https://web.archive.org/web/20220811215128/https://www.douge...

Can anyone contact whoever is in charge of it? All I have is the email address info at that domain: https://web.archive.org/web/20220614213753/https://www.douge...

EDIT: I did send an email to that address, there is still an MX DNS record and I did not get any error messages. Maybe it works.

EDIT2: just notified them with a reply in Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChristinaDEI/status/1549812063387561986

All is well! The site is UP - it was just a temporary glitch.
