Dear LJ:

IP location display is creepy! And inaccurate. I'm not in Sacramento, thanks! Wrong end of the state! I'm currently 490 miles away from Sacramento, so I suppose planet-wise it's...close. (This just goes to show how you can't 100% trust IP locations.)

ETA: HEH. London is closer to Edinburgh than I am to Sacramento.

ETA2: LJ is removing the feature. WOO!

My IP frequently says I'm in Philadelphia, though I'm sure that's still closer than Sancramento is to you. Anyway, I'm glad they changed their minds. I bet they neglected to take US and state privacy laws into account. Morons.

Yeah, looks like about half the distance. But that's not even in the same state!

It's where my ISP's headquarters are.

Perfect icon is perfect! (Yours, I mean.)
