No, from looking at the source code, after 86400
seconds (1440 minutes, or 24 hours!) it changes
to index2.html

I told you it would do something
if you left it for ages! ;)

Code from the site:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="86400; URL=index2.html">

Andrew "I have no sig file" Carpenter

I couldn't find any newsgroup where I felt this would be appropriate, so I'm
trying here because I figure that most of you would have an appreciation for
minimalism, and a sense of humor.

I have been collecting minimalist web sites at:

http://users.erols.com/msteven/minimum/

and figure that others have probably stumbled across others of which I am
not aware.  A minimalist website is loosly defined as a domain that appears
to have little functional content, but that nevertheless manages to convey a
message.  The classic example is http://www.feh.com

By "domain", I mean that the url is http://www.domainname.com and not
http://www.domainname.com/username

A clearer definition is hard to find, but a minimalist site is certainly
*not* an "under construction" or "parked domain" place holder, unless it
happens to be really creative and different, and hangs around for a long
time.

If anybody here knows a better spot where I could ask this question, then by
all means let me know.
