I checked around, and it's not readily apparent in the ways that I usually can check. In general, though, the security on this script is pretty fair. When I can get information off it easily, it's really only router paths, which makes it difficult to link to an individual.
This is not to say that it's impossible. Remember what Monica Lewinsky learned last year. There's always a way to get this information, but you'd have to have superuser access to a number of different servers, which is really unlikely. The NSA could do it, and the FBI, but the average hacker is unlikely to be able to track variable IP addresses and even so would be more unlikely to do so.
You're safe, and you won't have any of us show up on your doorstep!
The cache notes, though, will show where you've been, so if that's really an issue for you, clear 'em regularly.
