Know Your Public IP Address Anytime

Have you ever needed to give someone your public IP address, but can't remember what it is? I'm not talking about your computer's private IP address, but the one your ISP assigns to you (and probably changes every week or so). There are a number of ways to get this information, including lots of web sites. One day it occurred to me that it should be pretty easy to script the call to one of these web sites and put the output inside a small gadget on my Vista sidebar. So that's exactly what I did.

“Get Microsoft™ Outlook™ to Look Up Zip Codes for All of Your Contacts!”

With GetZips™, You'll Never Have an Invalid Zip Code Again!

Look up US Zip Codes from Inside Outlook! If you use Microsoft Outlook but hate the fact that you have to look up zip codes manually, we have a solution for you! GetZips installs as an Outlook Addin and appears as an extra toolbar on each contact's detail window. Simply open a contact (or create a new one), click the Get Zip Code or Validate Address button. GetZips then goes out to the internet on your behalf, performs a number of address lookups, then automatically updates your contact's address with the correct Zip Code. It can even validate a zip code or address you already have!
