192.168.noone.org //at 10:48 //by abe
About a year ago, Eric Poscher invented the IP address blog and installed his one at http://192.168.epe.at/. Every hour his netbook notes down the IP address of the interface which currenntly the default route goes through and if it has an internet connection, it uploads the list of IP adresses it had. Additionally, he filters the list to IP addresses in 192.168.0.0/16.
June this year he published the source code behind his IP blog under GPL and Creative Commons. I modified his script slighty to just write down the new IP address if it’s different to the previous one, but without any filter. This makes the list much more colorful (and my online times less traceable :-) as you can see at http://192.168.noone.org/.
But the biggest disadvantage of Eric’s code design is not the fact that it’s a (quite nice to read :-) shell script but that it doesn’t save the list of IPs separately and is not able to regenerate everything if you want to change the design, but always just adds a line to the HTML page.
So I rewrote the whole thing in Perl last Saturday while sitting the dog of my parents. If you change the templates and call the script again, it regenerates the whole list with the new templates. The code is also under GPL, the HTML parts are under Creative Commons, too.
And hey, this is one of the very few (if not only) applications which
are much more fun with IPv4 than with IPv6. ;-)

Posted by: Axel Website: http://noone.org/blog Time: Tue, 03 Nov 2009 20:58 Thanks for the hint. The git repository URL is now published in gitweb. I somehow expected this is done by default with gitweb.
I also moved the repositories from http://noone.org/git to http://git.noone.org/ (including the appropriate redirects from the old URLs).

Thanks! I'm trying it now :)
But where is the git repository itself located?
