- burke, on 10/12/2007, -3/+25Slightly less efficient version with more info:
http://this-ip.com/more
Maximum efficiency - IP only, served as .txt:
http://this-ip.com/micro - burke, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11I'll find the code for 'ya.
<?php header('Content-type: text/plain; charset=utf-8'); echo $REMOTE_ADDR; ?> - burke, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11500 days ago: http://digg.com/design/The_ClockBlock
- Bogtha, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12You could make it more efficient by putting all the CSS into an external stylesheet. By definition, the HTML cannot be cached. If you keep the CS inline, that means you can't cache the CSS either. If you use an external stylesheet, it can be cached.
What's the point in telling people it's valid XHTML when it breaks standards anyway by transmitting the XHTML 1.1 document as text/html?
The only form of XHTML you are permitted to use with text/html is XHTML 1.0 following Appendix C of the recommendation. - MikeKnoop, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Someone go buy ip.com and host this. What's there now doesn't deserve the address anyway :)
-Mike - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11Sure, it should be noted, but for no negative reason. Digg because the submitter has a very useful site that's better than most "whatismyip" variants.
Great job, submitter! If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't know! - burke, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10at 700 bytes?
- mrASSMAN, on 10/12/2007, -11/+19It should be noted that the submitter owns this site.
- burke, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9By the way, when I say it's 50x as efficient, I mean it's only 700 bytes including the image.
- seanm, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8nice site, pretty useful. thanks
- oMega505, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6excellent! its better than ipchicken :p
simple and sweet! dugg! - brundlefly76, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Fine that submitter owns site, as long as it doesnt convert to porn popups by noon...
- Virak, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6That's the raw user-agent string, and I doubt the 'more detail' page is targeted to the not-so-advanced users.
- kbeeveer46, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5I'll still use whatismyip.com because it's the only URL I can remember when I need my IP in a hurry.
- wadem, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8^ And everyone uses mIRC...right....
- StatusQuoRules, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5You can find it out yousel by the NT number, but hey maybe those not-so-advanced users wont need the more tab? NT 5.1 = xp
- celeronxl, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Normally I'd think this is stupid, but I acually approve of this.
I always get screwed up between whatsmyip and whatismyip. This is just better for me. - evilspoons, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5@hater2win... sounds good, except whatismyip.org gives me 'unknown' whereas this-ip works perfectly.
- beelz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3http://ip.com/
IP.com is the world's leader in defensive publications and legal safeguarding of all electronic records. - hater2win, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5http://whatismyip.org
Change .com to .org and yeah...
Nice to have options though. - t3hX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Let's give them a huge bandwidth bill from a digging :)
Ooh, ironically, look at the icon next to "Intellectual Property Discussion Forum" - it's well... borrowed... from PHPBB! Oops. - burke, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4ok good point on the XHTML thing, but if I put the css in an external sheet, I would be making it worse, not better.
The main doc. would be smaller, but the XHTML+CSS would be about 20 bytes larger. Plus, you'd have to make another http request. This is the kind of site that a person goes to ONE page on, so there's no sense in caching the stylesheet. - gigamike, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3What? No AJAX or Web 2.0 Interweb?
- JDex, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Hmmm... can I just ask you guys what is Digg-able about this? How often do you need to see your own ip address in less than 1 sec? I mean if I need to see my ip address I'll open my router's control panel (in the bookmark toolbar) and there's all the info I need, and I can even click again and get a new ip. I'm not trying to be a jerk, but really... why is this useful?
- thebusdriver, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3nicely done, how is the .txt done? php?
- segosa, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6Yep!
(sarcasm)
I was only stating my method. - vonskippy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5Wow, a site that tells you what your external IP is - does the government know such valuable sites exist?
What's next for Digg's front page - a site that tells you what time it is? - aptget, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Heh, I used to use ipchick also.
- Kazanoe, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Who hasnt at some point in time used ipchicken?
I use it just because it has a cool name! :D - blanski, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2While less detailed I use cmyip.com because its shorter and easier to type.
- burke, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I'm not, I just figured I'd make it for the hell of it. If someone wants to check out my actual webpage linked at the bottom, so be it, but I'm not expecting to make any cash. It didn't cost me anything, so whatever.
- slythfox, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Maybe I am imagining, but wasn't this submitted awhile ago, got to the front page, and was burried shortly after?
- burke, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2it'll probably be a little faster when it's not on the frontpage of digg ;)
Here's what I get atm:
this-ip: 0.466s
whatismyip.com: 0.753s
ipchicken: 0.826s - b10m, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1If self promoting is allowed here anyways, and IP showing considered something "cool", I've written this looong ago: http://b10m.swal.org/ip
- mrASSMAN, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3this-ip - .2 to .3
whatismyip - .3 to .4
ipchicken - .5 to .6 - burke, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2if you're doing network work on different computers all the time, it can be useful -- especially if you're not sure where the router is or what the login details are.
I use it a lot because my DSL modem is juust about dead, and I get a new IP roughly every hour ;) - sjorrel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This and ipchicken report the IP for my ISP's web proxy.
whatismyip.org reports my true IP. - Bogtha, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Oh, and I should point out that if you are going for minimalism, XHTML of any kind is the wrong choice. HTML allows you to skip the opening and closing <html> and <body> tags and most closing tags. If you use the "HTML5" doctype, you can also eliminate another 40-odd characters from the doctype.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Burke: How are you planning to profit from this site?
- burke, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2not this one. I just made it a week or two ago, and I haven't really told anyone about it.
- nicklinus, on 10/12/2007, -5/+6http://www.ipchicken.com is better!
- Bogtha, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2> Plus, you'd have to make another http request. This is the kind of site that a person goes to ONE page on, so there's no sense in caching the stylesheet.
You are forgetting about public caches. The *user* might have to make another HTTP request, but that doesn't mean it has to come from your server. For instance, during this digging, if a hundred AOL visitors hit your site in a short amount of time, they'll be downloading the HTML from you, but they'll be downloading the stylesheet from AOL's caching proxies, which will only download the stylesheet once from you.
Most ISPs have caching proxies now, a lot even use interception proxies, so you don't even know they are there. - DoctorEvil, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1But wait, just type http://whatismy.com and save two characters from the domain! think of the thousands of bits saved from an untimely /dev/null!
Ipchicken is a good one too. - tuxidomasx, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2well...if it were MY site, i'd let it ride like it is for a while until a lot of people start using it.
THEN i'd put up some adsense... - gaehl, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1@ketsugi same here.
