Geek Weekly: This week's geek tip comes from Online Tech Tips, which offers a quick how-to guide on how you can track email to it�s originating location by figuring out the email�s IP address and looking it up. I have found this to be quite useful on many occasions for verification purposes since I receive lots of emails daily due to my blog. Tracking the IP address of an email sender does require looking at some technical details, so be ready to dig your heels in! Click here for the details.



That wraps things up for another weekly mashup of links! There's more where this came from too; you can find an archive of past articles here. Keep the links coming, everyone! If you know of a great site that's worth sharing, or if you have any comments or suggestions? I'd love to hear from you! Just send an email to sreed@tucows.com and say hello!
