A little knowledge is a dangerous thing
On Shortland Street they had a scene where Libby is telling Chris he can track his family down through the IP address in an e-mail. Hooray I thought – nice to see some technical know-how in the script.
Alas my hopes dropped as she explained the first three digits tell you which country it came from.
And they dropped even more when they showed the address as 340.096.614.3
One doesn’t need to use whois on that one!
