Can someone explain how to use namecoin?

It's almost identical to bitcoin and you can use the same miners. The only major difference right now is that the clients are daemon only. There is not GUI interface that I have seen yet. I am using namecoind.exe for windows which can be downloaded from the http://dot-bit.org landing page. there are also some pages on that site discussing usage.

I noticed that bitparking.com (the only working namecoin pool) is down. This may account for the foretasted difficulty decrease.
