Need BIG favor. 10 seconds of your time.
Will you all - everyone, everywhere - do me a small, small favor?

Go to this page:

http://7thstpub.com/ip.php

It will tell you where it thinks you're currently located, based on your IP address.

Then come back to this URL:

http://draco.scribblit.com/16593.html?mode=reply

and tell me whether it's right, wrong, or close, or whether it failed to find you altogether.

I'm testing some code, but all I can tell from testing it myself is that it's reasonably accurate for me. Only by getting input from other people will I know whether the database of IP locations is reliable enough for me to continue working with.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Says I'm in Houston, TX so spot on for me.

We who live in North Portland (Portland, Oregon) would not be considered even close to those who live in Lake Oswego, Oregon. (smile)

Lake O. is a suburb of Portland, so it's not that far away physically. But in many ways, it's worlds away. (grin) And I wouldn't live in Lake Oswego if someone paid me to...

So obviously it's a bit off in my case.

Often my IP shows me as being from Denver (our ISP is based there) or other places, rather than Portland, so don't feel too bad. I don't think I'm ever identified as being in Portland, actually.

And I didn't use the second link because it was asking me to log in again...

Just so you know!
