Hey everyone, I had my powerbook stolen Friday up in Studio City, and have been trying to track it down ever since. My homepage for all of my browsers was set to cleverdaddy.com (please do NOT go there now! that would make searching for a certain access log entry increasingly harder) and as far as I know, I am the only person on the planet to ever go there...aside from all the search bots.
Today (Sunday), at around 3:57pm, someone at Montgomery Field in San Diego (so the IP address lookup tells me on a google map) went to my site. I was looking for my powerbook's footprint, ie."Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U;PPC Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/418.9.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/419.3" but instead the visitor today was "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; Q312467)" which is a pc...or virtual pc, which I had installed as well. I rarely use my cleverdaddy.com email address, so I am hoping that either one of you checked out the site based on my email address (since the visitor was down in SD) or someone saw that my laptop's browser was set to that site and went there with their pc instead. (yes, I'm grabbing at straws here) If the google map IP plot was say in Wisconson, then I would ignore it. The fact that it is only a couple hours away from me means it could potentially be something associated with my laptop. Anyway, is Montgomery Field some sort of military base? It looks like an airport on the google map. I also have the laptop automatically logging into tmobile at any Starbucks via the WPA tmobile1x hidden wifi they have. All someone has to do is have the laptop on (no need to startup a browser or email) when in the presence of the tmobile signal and it will log in automatically. I am calling tmobile once per day to see if my account has logged in at any Starbucks recently. They're being very cool about it. I know there is lojack-type software for computers, but I didn't have any of that installed. I will in the future, that's for sure! Maybe create some sort of central rails database of stolen gear... or pre-stolen for protection. Thanks for any input! You can hold onto any "dude, forget it, it's lost" sort of reply. I hear you, but I just don't believe that at the moment. -=Randy _______________________________________________ Sdruby mailing list [email protected] http://lists.sdruby.com/mailman/listinfo/sdruby
