Oops -

The dangers of writing a blog after three pints of Bulmers No 7 Cider on the way home. This blog posted earlier today was meant to be on the Mill Hill Music Complex blog, where I'll be doing a whole series on aspects of the music business - http://barneteye.blogspot.com/2011/07/musician-focus-songwriting-master-class.html

Whilst I use the Barnet Eye blog for all manner of things, the Music Complex blog is specifically for musicians and studio users. You can find it here - http://millhillmusiccomplex.blogspot.com

A little tool to help you defeat the invisible men

I've added an IP address lookup tool. If you get an email or you have a stats counter on your blog, you can see who it is and where they came from using this. If you've got an email from someone, view the email. Click on File, then click on properties, then click on details. Now click on message source

You will see some text as follows :-
X-Originating-IP: [1.2.3.4]

Where I've put 1.2.3.4, cut and paste this number into the IP lookup and hey presto, you know where the email came from.

If it says it's from your bank, but the IP address is Freds chipshop, you know it's a scam.
