Here is an Applescript to log your current IP address every 5 minutes. This is useful for people who move around a lot or have unreliable dynamic IP addresses.

Download: IP_Logger.dmg

When first run, the logfile will open in Console with one entry. If and when your IP address changes, the logfile will open again. If you close the logfile it will continue logging as long as the script is running. The IP address is written to the log only if it changes. Checking is set to 5 minutes (300 seconds). You can change this inside the script. If you ever re-save the script, it must be saved as "Stay Open Script" to work properly. If you simply click the red button to close it, that step is unnecessary.

This script may break at any time if the website it references ever changes. If so, please leave a comment on this page and I will fix it.
