Can't access to http://www.thermalradiation.net/tablecon.html

goc3 on 3 Jan 2015

It's back up and running. It was down for about a day. I'm not sure why, though. I recall accessing this site about a decade ago, and I imagine that it will be around for decades to come, due to its usefulness.

Thank you for the update.
