jedwhite.com is down

Hey, it's blog.jedwhite.com - or just click on the title to go directly to the post.

I don't know why HN shortens it to the root domain. blogger doesn't seem to work delegating that externally.

Cheers Jed

mr. jedwhite: unless for some reason an intermediary system is distorting this...your domain (blog.jedwhite.com) is resolving to 192.168.31.15 (a private address), and therefore, is not accessible to us. k, tnx.

Seems pretty weird. Who runs your DNS and what are they running? The blog is on Blogger, which is Google (the internal address is jedwhite.blogspot.com). Google generally seem to know what they're doing. Has anyone else had problems getting onto Blogger sites?

i take back my statement. it seems this network is using opendns and maybe someone is changing things up between, but why your blog? i don't get it.

nslookup blog.jedwhite.com 208.67.222.222 (opendns) => 208.67.219.132

found a discussion of people mentioning this ip as a problem: http://forums.opendns.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=1320

nslookup blog.jedwhite.com 64.102.255.44 (ns2.cisco.com) => 74.125.77.121 (what it should be)

looks like an opendns issue, prob same with the other person who couldnt' connect.

I usually hate these one-size-fits all outliner type summary of events because they tend to be super dry, middle-of-the-road, not really saying anything type pieces, but this was a nice surprise.

The provided quotes and examples used by the TS companies highlight the importance of pitching concisely and emotionally using narratives.

Since picking up girls and selling in business share a lot of similarities, does TheFunded have a focus on neuro-linguistic programming when it comes to pitching?
