Suggestion: Our own IP detecting URL

The idea is to have a setting which would allow us to change the default URL
that yawcam connects to, to detect our IP. So, if yawcam.com goes down,
yawcam won't be inaccessible or unable to detect the IP.

Not sure that would work too well, considering that not all websites return the same way, Yawcam would have to parse through the returned HTML for the IP.

I was thinking to point yawcam to a PHP page which would output only the IP.
Plain text, not HTML. (I don't know how yawcam does it exactly so I can't really
say what needs to be done.)

Your wish has been granted ;-)
Try the text file hack in the new beta version:
