Lojack my macbook
I just got a macbook. The first Macintosh I have owned since my LC III. I decided that I wanted to track where I have been and roughly how long I was online at each place. If for some reason I misplace my mac, I would love to have a way to track it’s last online location. Nothing Fancy.
So I thought up a simple solution to my dilema. Query a web site I have log access to. I used wget to query my homepage, with a little bash magic to generate a useful query string. The “local” time, and IP address of my macbook.
With a little log sifting and a charting module, I can show all kinds of neat statistics.
