I'm now going to change my LAN to use 10.0.0.1 instead of 192.168.0.1 so that I can just type 10.1 This will help not only when testing stuff on mobiles only to have to rewrite the whole adress again because you forgot http:// but also when telling the kids what IP to connect to when setting up LAN games. Or coworkers when telling them them some LAN/router IP. Time server is on 10.36

I like the idea and will do the same.

But we'll see how well that works... I just fed the first 4 google results for "ip address converter" with 10.1: Three converters gave an error message and one came up with 0.0.0.10.

The real question who is using inet_aton(3). I'm betting none of the online converters.
Here I am naming my machines like a chump when I could be memorizing their numbers like oh yeah, I went to MIT
