IP address 207.241.232.233 scanning website.

I noticed the IP address 207.241.232.233 was scanning my site and generating a considerable number of hits. I decided to check if I could out out more about who was behind the IP address.

It turns out this robot was the scanner for the Internet Archive. Over the years I found the Internet Archive to be quite useful, in particular the waybackmachine. Whilst the hits I saw were links to external sites and fairly pointless, I'm happy to accept the hits as I'm sure the Internet Archive helps many, many people.

South Australia speed camera locations and red light camera locations now live.

Some time ago I developed an interest in red light cameras and speed cameras. This started because the yellow light timing was set incorrectly on a number of red light speed cameras around Melbourne. I took a video of the timing when it was wrong and the timing after the lights were fixed. These videos are available on my YouTube channel.

One thing led to another and I combined code from a site I'd developed, with red light speed camera location and fine information and www.SpeedCameraLocations.com.au was born. The site has been running for a number of years and I'm pleased when I see people using the site to help them understand their fine with a range of information including satellite view, street view and often a dashcam video.

I'd recently extended the site to cover New South Wales and now I've extended the site to cover South Australia and Adelaide. For the South Australia red light locations and speed camera locations I still need to collate the number and value of fines, but I felt even without this information, the location information can be very useful and thus the South Australian section of www.SpeedCameraLocations.com.au/sa/ is now live.

I hope others find this information useful.
