Overall, all of the project's goals were met. It was a fantastic learning experience thus far and I hope I will continue to grow it as demands require it. I would like to share the statistics forĀ  the 2009 year up until February 26th. When starting this project, I was barely receiving any visits to...

New homepage and iGoogle design!

January 31, 2009 at 1:02 am by sabetian

The homepage has a much simpler, more accessible, and more professional look now. The description of the links have been removed as they were redundant. Now, the focus is on the ip and the "IP Script". I wanted to promote the IP Script more as webmasters who use the script have sent thousa...

"Share" Button

January 2, 2009 at 12:00 pm by sabetian

I have added a "Share" button just like the one available on every project page: It is only going to work like it should if you view it from the actual website: http://www.whatsmyip.us . Near the middle of the website, you will see a "Share" button next to the "Google" button. Try it out. Not much ...

New Google Gadget!

January 2, 2009 at 11:57 am by sabetian

I've created a iGoogle gadget for this project. I had to use xml for this along with PHP. Try iGoogle with this iGoogle gadget: ( http://www.google.com/ig/adde?moduleurl=http://www.whatsmyip.us/whatsmyip.xml ) Give it a try.

So far, its been great! Goals.

This project has been an amazing learning experience so far. It started as only a single page to show the visitor's IP back to them, and was not intended to be more. However, I kept scripting different things to finally reach what I have so far. I love that I've been able to produce such a good prod...

Alexa it! Step 6

December 30, 2008 at 8:25 am by sabetian

Having already made an alexa box on the whois lookup, I decided to make a script so that all webmasters can show their site's alexa rank on their pages. Once again, Image Magick came in. At this time, I already knew some Image Magick but I wanted it to look good: by Whois Lookup ...

Moving on to something bigger: Step 5!

December 30, 2008 at 8:23 am by sabetian

I was greatly satisfied after making the reverse dns script for webmasters. But, I wanted to try my hand at a whois lookup. They are very popular, but there is a lot of good competition for a good whois script. So, I looked at whois.sc as the target to beat. I first spent a good couple days working ...

Turning the IP reverse dns into something usable! Step 4.

December 30, 2008 at 8:18 am by sabetian

After adventure of making a reverse dns tool, I tried to turn the reverse dns tool into an image/form script for webmasters. This was brain-numbing and frustrating. Once again, Image Magick had to be used to simplify it greatly for webmasters who may want to use it. Whoever, the problem was that I w...

Finding more information about the IP: Step 3

December 30, 2008 at 8:17 am by sabetian

Following the IP image, I wanted to see if I could make a reverse dns lookup script. It is wonderful how much the internet infrastructure is capable of. With a bunch html and php work, I converged everything into a page that shows the visitor's reverse dns and also allows the visitor to lookup the r...

Turning the IP into something magical: Step 2

December 30, 2008 at 8:16 am by sabetian

After making the homepage, I though it to be useful to turn the visitor's IP into an image and offer it as a tool to webmasters: here. With the IP image, I had to dip my feet into Image Magick, a php module which can be used to make images. Unfortunately, Image Magick does not have any tutorials for...
