Whatsmyip from the Command Line

By adam | Published: January 21, 2009

Nice little one liner to obtain your WAN IP address.

 
curl http://www.whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp ; echo

Then alias that badboy E.g.:

 
alias whatsmyip='curl http://www.whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp ; echo'

Happy day.
