Better yet, sign up with dyndns.org to get a domain name, and use the
already-written 'ipcheck' script (in the 'ipcheck' package) to update
the DNS record.

There are six things the Lord hates,
seven that are detestable to him :
haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,
a heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to rush into evil,
a false witness who pours out lies
and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.
Proverbs 6:16-19
