Jayjg's not from New York, I'm afraid you'll simply have to accept it. |

Folks, I'm thisclose to publishing the first set of findings relating to the examination of the SlimVirgin's oversighted edits, and premit me to say: it's so much more Sweet than I had imagined. Oh man. But between now and then (then meaning tomorrow, I believe) let me throw y'all this bone. As I've said for some time now, regardless of the conventional wisdom that has held that he's a New Yorker, Jayjg is from Thornhill, Ontario. And if you don't believe me, you can take his word for it (and do yourself a favor...look at the five diffs that follow this one...you will be laughing by the end). And if you still don't believe me, you can take his word for it again. IP address 69.196.8.106 is currently unassigned, but, again as you'll recall I've documented previously, up until a year ago, IPs from the 69.196.x.x range mapped to the northern sectors of Toronto. You know, a month ago, this would have felt very significant. But compared to what I'm going to show you guys about SlimVirgin tomorrow, it seems sort of silly. Stay tuned.

QUOTE(jdrand @ Tue 21st August 2007, 2:05am) He probably is from an open proxy and covers his footsteps carefully. See the IP WHOIS for 69.196.8.106, here. Location=Unknown. But the Ontario thing is pretty damning evidence that Jayjg is a liar. As I mentioned, all Rogers IPs from the 69.196.x.x range are currently unassigned. That's why you get the "unknown." Last year, when I first started keeping track, they were assigned to the Thornhill, ON area. If you simply must know, today Jayjg's IP is 99.246.30.17, and yes, it maps to Thornhill, ON.

What makes you think that's Jayjg's IP?

Maybe I should turn it around and ask whether you've known me to be wrong about this sort of thing yet (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/wink.gif) .

It wouldn't have anything to do with planting Activemeter URLs on WP userpages would it? You wanted to find out who Samiharris was, but you were fortunate to have Jayjg, you think, follow your link.

Wouldn't Overstock's server logs already show the ip address and a referrer? Not sure what is added, other than possible ease of putting the information together. The link GlassBeadGame just posted, o-smear.blogspot.com, itself appears to be a bugged site. Go there at your own risk. Do they work for WP? Well I guess I'm a gonner.

SenseMaker: Yes, I goofed, thanks for correcting me. But anyway the rest of my comment is true: WordBomb did try that exact trick here on Wikipedia Review at one point using a transparent GIF (if I recall correctly), which is why we no longer allow externally referenced GIFs (except from moderators and staff, I think). Anyone with a lack of scruples, an externally referenced image and control of the server logs can bug/snoop for IPs. This is an externally referenced GIF: (IMG: http://nathanr.ca/wp-content/uploads/smileyfactory.gif) (apparently, that's a smiley factory...isn't that cruel?) I happen to possess all of my scruples so we will forgo the rest.

But on that topic, if Jayjg can discriminantly view my IP data, why can't I have access to his? Ironic that the person with greatest access to user's identifying information is the most jealous about safeguarding his own privacy, isn't it?
