That domain looks to be owned by an Australian domain squatting company. It was registered just a few days ago (2-6-09) The .com has been around for awhile but it looks like just another domain squatter. Domain squatters buy domains and then put garbage content (usually a useless search engine or malware) to keep ICANN from saying they are squatting it. They then sit back an wait for someone to bid on the domain. Completely illegal and the bane of legitimate web developers everywhere but nonetheless rampant due to lack of enforcement by ICANN.

Hanoijane.org is still available if anyone wants it.
