I finally got Facebook to restore my account.
They said it was disabled in error, and no further details were given.

I can guarantee you that this was the result of those turks mass complaining about my post regarding the Armeninan genocide and the facts that posted about it which turks who usually deny it ever happened didn’t like.

Unfortunately it seems that Facebook will automatically disable your account if they receive several complaints about your posts and then they will look at it later, sort of shot first and then ask later thing.

Oh well.
Account is back online now.

Yesterday, trying to check my facebook account, I get a notice that the account has been disabled.

I have not done anything unusual, I don’t post commercial message.

The only thing that I remember which might have caused this, is some of the death threats that I have received because I posted some facts about Turkish atrocities against minorities and expanded on the Armenian genocide history in one of the groups that was setup to oppose Turkey joining the EU.

At that time I deleted all the threats and considered them as childish, but it looks like they went to complaining to Facebook, and apparently some Facebook customer service drone disabled the account without checking.

Looks like a simple google search shows that this is a common issue with Facebook, some accounts get even disabled for no reason.

So far contacting them at the email listed for disabled accounts (disabled@facebook.com) yielded nothing.

I will keep trying, and see what happens.
Shame on Facebook for having such poor customer service and no minimum courtesy towards their users.

There are many reasons that you want to know your public IP address and getting that is easy by visiting some of the sites that allow you to view that information, but what if you wanted to do it from the command line? What if you wanted to script that? To upload the result to a web page? Or to email it?

There is a quick and easy way of doing it from the command line.

In Linux or any other UNIX based system, open terminal window or ssh to your server and type the following at the command prompt.

wget -qO - http://www.whatismyip.org

In Windows, if you haven’t done already, download and wget from this location, extract it to your c:\Windows or C:\Windows\system32 folder and then open a command line box and type the same command in the above in the command box.

On Linux/UNIX systems, curl http://www.whatismyip.org has the same result for the wget command above.
