I had no trouble with the first link, but the second link goes to:

http://www.http.com//wiki.keithl.com/AvoidMicrosoft

which has a green bar across the top and says http.com  may be for sale. 
I tried editing out the .com but Firefox puts it back in.

Editing out http.com// returns "Hmm. We're having trouble finding that site"

Putting in only "keithl.com/AvoidMicrosoft returns a screen that says, 
"THIS CONTENT IS NOT AVAILABLE IN YOUR COUNTRY" in a font resembling 
Comic Sans.

Finally, wiki.keithl.com/AvoidMicrosoft works.

Weird.
