Wrong again, I didn't mention where Smurf lives, I put a pin in the middle of Helston and told him it was impossible for him to be more that 10 miles from an ATM. So how has he concluded I am 11 miles out when I didn't say where he lived. Shall I book you two a room?

You were wrong I am 11 miles away from the nearest ATM. By implication you assumed I live in Helston.

Thanks, as stated at the time, that map is well out of date, there is not an ATM within 10 miles of my location. (In fact since that thread there are now less now due to bank branch closures.)

11miles out from what? I didn't mention where you were. You just make it up.

Yes you did, some time ago in a thread about ATMs, (Cash machines.)

[Nick]

You were miles out. (As explained the first time.) Just checked again, 11 miles out.

Yeah but you know I've got you bang to rights.

The software is written in PHP and JS, that's the actual software 😱.
Seeing as you're obviously not a software Tech bod I'll make it simple.
These look up tables you're on about, how does the data get in them, do they look in someone else's look up table and they then look in someone else's? for ever?

No, they query the ISP's directly and the transport layer of the web, that you can't see carries all this data. I just pay to have access to the bits I want.
That's why I get up to date data and not where an IP address was assigned 24 hrs ago.

No the language used is not the actual software.  The language is a tool to implement the software design and is actually an intermediate eventually being compiled or interpreted into the actual machine code locally executed.   I've managed £Mmulti software projects.
 
Whether you use a lookup table in your own software or more likely are referencing one others have makes no difference, it's a lookup and the results can never be better that the up to date accuracy of that table.
  
As your PM of not my postcode proved.  You were miles out.

PHP and JS are software languages, we're talking about the actual software design not the language it's implemented in.  Feel free to show how your design doesn't use a lookup table.

And of course I use the free IP geolocators but the commercial sites don't and they keep offering me services for a location I'm not in, one bizarrely often says I'm in the USA.  And no I don't use VPN (as you should already know)

OK please PM it

I have.

They?? What is they? You're an expert in PHP and JS now are you?
I am a software engineer and run an automation company, I wrote my own code, that's why this forum looks nothing like the base package.
I pay for a service to do SQL Queries, I don't look at free websites like you clearly do.

No, you're still in the same place you've always been whilst using a certain ISP, but you do sometimes use a different one.
I can give you you're post code if you like.

It's got me in Leeds now, never been there either

Rubbish

They all use an IP lookup table and because BT (and others) use dynamic IPs the tables are crap. 

I have never been to Bradford despite what your code might tell you.

So you say.

Personally I don't think Pappy exists
