Unappealing IP Addresses

Warning: Completely inane post follows.

I’m still waiting for my realtor to tell me I can move in.  The realtor is waiting for the landlord, the landlord is waiting for the builders, who are in turn waiting for their supplier to deliver the last few things that need to go into the apartment before I move in.  So, given my uncomfortable situation, I’ll share some unrelated discomfort.

I’m looking through server logs, and I’m seeing a lot of different IP addresses.  That’s not surprising.  Actually, if you’re surprised to see IP addresses in your logs, something is clearly horribly wrong - but I digress.  What surprised me is the difference in aesthetic appeal of various IP addresses.  I don’t like IP addresses that start with 3 digit numbers - 173.42.8.113 would be an ugly IP address, where was 64.171.83.203 would be nice.

I know there’s more at play here than just lengths of sections - I have a feeling that even vs. odd is in play, etc.  And that’s it for tonight’s inane screen/brain bandwidth usage.  Things will be so much better I can get back to typing on my Model M and not on a 12″ laptop, during the brief non-work, non-move, non-too-tired-to-do-anything moments.
