What’s my IP Address?

Most PCs and networks connect to the Internet with a single IPv4 address. This is a 32 bit address represented by four 8 bit octets (ie 192.168.1.1). The problem with this protocol is a maximum of four billion unique addresses. This seemed like a lot back in 1980 when the protocol was adopted. However, today we are coping with IP address exhaustion.

When I connect to the Internet, I lease a single IP address. I have a cable modem attached to a wireless router and a 16 port switch. All my computers, printers, multimedia devices use one shared address to connect to the Internet. The router uses Network Address Translation (NAT) to route the traffic.

Sometimes it is useful to know your true “outside” address. The following site will let you know…

<br /> [Your browser does not support IFRAME or is currently configured not to display frames. However, you may visit <A href=”http://www.ipaddressworld.com”>IPAddressWorld.com</A>.]<br />

Tagging Digital Photos (Exif, IPTC, Geocoding)

There is a huge amount of data hidden in your digital photographs. Many search engines are now starting to look at this data.
You can easily add your name, location, copyright, description, and a title to each of your digital photographs. You can even add GPS coordinates for the photo location. Here are a few key concepts that you will need to know…

  • JPG or JPEG – File format used by most digital cameras.
  • EXIF – (Exchangeable Image File Format) Your camera uses this format to store setting, timestamp, and equipment info in your JPG files
  • IPTC – (International Press Telecommunications Council) Group responsible for the creation of header information in the JPG format to store metadata (name, title, description, copyright, location, etc)
  • Geocoding – Placing lat/lon coordinates and elevation in the EXIF data of your photo

Software (freeware) that I use to tag and geocode my photos…

  • Microsoft photo info – edit IPTC tags by right clicking the file in explorer
  • Exifer for Windows – edit EXIF and IPTC tags. This one will allow you to reset file dates and times back to the EXIF time stamp.
  • KUSO EXIF Viewer – Good EXIF viewer (limited editing)
  • Panorado Flyer – Geotag photos with Google Earth. Right click files in explorer to assign the current position in Google Earth. Find you location and tag your files.
