ifconfig.me

Sometimes you just need an easy way to get what your external dynamic IP address is from the commandline, possibly to utilize in a script.  I have used a variety of websites that have provided this information but today I looked at ifconfig.me and it impressed me.  Not only does it provide some nice information in the default view, it provides alternate URLs for specific information.  Do you want your IP as plaintext, no html, well `curl ifconfig.me/ip`
