First and foremost, I’ve updated the drawing engine on my doodleboard to PaintBBS 2.22_6, which is current.

Secondly, I’ve retooled one of my first little toys, a simple WHOIS query tool in PHP. It now understands both InterNic and ARIN; and is customizable via either POST, or GET requests, so, if you formulate a query as such:

http://www.holwegner.com/toys/whois.php?domainName=compgeeks.com&internic=true, it will do an internic search for “compgeeks.com”. Alternatively, if you want to look up who’s got management of an IP address, you can query ARIN just as easily: http://www.holwegner.com/toys/whois.php?domainName=127.0.0.1&internic=false, or just use the handy-dandy interface it has built in.
