Hello
i made myself a device tracker in HTML/5 and PHP and with this i managed to get my laptop back from when it was stolen in september
what it basicly does is it opens a web page when you start the device which then sends your IP and location (longitude and latitude) to a database.
i thought that as it managed to help me get my laptop back, maybe it would be useful for other people
So today i set out on expanding it in a way that it can have more than one user, but in a way that it would only be available on request
so i have finished creating it and thought you all might like to use it, i have built a UI for it (which i may extend) and i shall give you the info so you can see what sort of stuff it stores ;)
Go to http://vinevanquisher.freehostia.com/view.html and use the user "defaults" and pass "password"
it may not be pretty, but i wanted to get it working first
this screen will tell you lots of info about where your device was tracked
al parts of it are password protected so no one can see where your device was tracked or even add a tracked position without knowing your password
let me know if your interested

EDIT: currently i have a reg file for windows so you simply run a reg file and put a html file where i tell you
for linux and mac, your on your own, sorry, i have no idea how to make something run on startup
EDIT: this also runs on mobile devices too! such as iOS or android
EDIT: also if you have a account and you feel like someone knows your password, you can simply change it ;) (im not giving this page out otherwise people will change the default password)
EDIT: i can also make accounts for people here incase they want to use it
EDIT: given it more flexibility so you can use your own details
