XANDAD'S Scrapbook
There is no place like 127.0.0.1
Frequently asked questions
What does 'Xandad' mean?
Pronounced "ZAN-dad", this is a name I came up with while trying to name a character in Diablo 2 circa 1997. My son's name is Alexander, we call him Xander at times and I was his Dad.... smash the two together and you get Xandad!
Since then, I've taken it on as my Nom de Plume for all of my various endeavors!
Where is 127.0.0.1?
127.0.0.1 is “localhost,” the address a computer uses to talk to itself. Traffic sent there never leaves your machine; it loops back through the operating system’s network stack instead of going out to a router or the internet.
So to say, "There's no place like 127.0.0.1" is the equivalent of saying
There's no place like home. :)
I love working remotely from home.
