http://www.whatsmyip.org Keep up to date with all of the newest happenings on WhatsMyIP.org Sat, 07 Nov 2009 04:47:02 -0500 en http://iphone.whatsmyip.org 9a88fca1 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 20:36:52 EST Our Fios WEP key calculator WebApp was so popular, we went ahead and built a whole new WebApp containing all of our best tools. Point your iPhone to http://iphone.whatsmyip.org and you'll get super easy access to all of our best stuff. You can bookmark the WebApp right to your home screen too, because we drew up a nice touch-icon. Works on iPod Touches too, you just need to be connected to a wifi network. http://www.whatsmyip.org/whois/ 43aebfac Fri, 23 Oct 2009 23:54:57 EST We just made a minor update to the Whois & DNS lookup tool. The layout of the page is much more sane. It only has two search boxes instead of a whole bunch. Now you just choose the DNS record you want to look up in a menu, rather than using a different box for each one. And we also added more record types for you to search. http://www.whatsmyip.org/fioswepcalc/ f4b37ea8 Sat, 03 Oct 2009 02:25:33 EST We just finished up a new tool on the site. It's a lookup tool for calculating the default WEP keys for Fios routers. You DID know that Fios WEP (and all WEP really) is very insecure? We also whipped up a little iPhone WebApp version of this tool. It's the site's first iPhone tool. It will help all the on-site technicians out there a lot. Add it to your home screen, we even made a nice little icon for it. http://www.whatsmyip.org/http_headers/ f1e339b6 Sat, 19 Sep 2009 03:44:13 EST We just added a new tool to the site. An HTTP Response Header lookup tool. You see, any time a browser grabs an object like a web page from a website, there are several lines of header information that get transferred before the document, or image, or whatever is being requested. This is data that you normally can not view in a web browser. You can access this data by sniffing ports, or using certain command line tools. Well now, you can just type the URL of an object into the HTTP Headers tool, and it instantly makes a request, and displays all headers. Enjoy. http://www.whatsmyip.org 46fef8b2 Wed, 16 Sep 2009 06:13:42 EST We've added a new section in our Navigation column called External Links. We did this to link to the speakeasy bandwidth test. This is not a paid link, we don't have any kind of deal with speakeasy. It is simply the best bandwidth test we know of on the internet. We don't have the resources ourselves to make a comparable bandwidth test. And we know that many of our visitors want a bandwidth test. So add it all up, and we've added an External Links category, and linked to the speakeasy test. We may add more useful links to this section in the future but DO NOT EMAIL US SUGGESTIONS, OR OFFERS OF LINK EXCHANGE. If you want to advertise on this website, you have two options. Use Google Adwords, or buy PixelAds. Space in the External Links section of this site are NOT FOR SALE. So enjoy the bandwidth test. It's not ours, we have nothing to do with it at all, we make no money if you use it, but it's our favorite bandwidth test on the internet. http://www.whatsmyip.org/iplocation/ 9fd8bbbf Thu, 27 Aug 2009 03:06:32 EST We just added a new tool to the site. It's an IP Location tool. This tool lets you look up the approximate geographic location of an IP address, on a google map. It is fairly accurate down to the city, but it doesn't go to the street level. It can trick you because some IPs are located near the center of a city, which makes this tool look smarter than it is. But it is still a very interesting tool to play around with. http://www.whatsmyip.org/more/ 28c57abb Thu, 09 Jul 2009 21:27:42 EST We just updated our More Info tool. This tool tells you all sorts of information about you, and your network connection. It now shows you your approximate location on an embedded google map. The info displayed on the page has been organized into a few logical groups to make it easier to absorb. And we've added a few more bits of information too. Check it out. http://www.whatsmyip.org/osdiscsbymail/ f46a58eb Wed, 06 May 2009 13:26:07 EST We started a new service on WhatsMyIP.org Free-OS discs by mail. If you've got limited bandwidth, or no ability to easily burn ISO disc images, we now download, burn and mail free os's. The cost is $5 for the first disc and $2 for each additional disc. Free-OS means any operating system that is available to download for free. Most Linux and BSD based operating systems, for example. We ship to the U.S. and Canada Only. We burn next day, and ship first class. So you should have your discs in 2-4 days! No waiting 6 weeks here. http://www.whatsmyip.org 437799ef Tue, 21 Apr 2009 04:51:55 EST In addition to the new look of the site, we've added some fancy Web2.0 style stuff to all the site's forms. This means they all load their data in place, and give you, the users, a much more pleasant experience. No more forms that yank you up or down the page when you submit them. Everything is super smooth and fast. http://www.whatsmyip.org/forum/index.php?topic=190 fecad6d7 Tue, 31 Mar 2009 23:48:30 EST We are now in the process of redesigning the site. While the work is underway, some pages may go through periods where they don't work right, or are visually . . . messed up. Don't worry, everything will be back to normal, but much better looking, once the work is done. And in the meanwhile, if you want to comment on the new look of the site, feel free to do so! There's a thread about it in our forum HERE
