[linux-help] Re: DSL IP assignments

[gLaNDix <glandix@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Check out dhs.org...  that's where I get my hostname (linux.2y.net), which
is used for ftp, ssh, mail, http, etc...  they have links to scripts you
can run as a cron job to make sure it's updated asap after your IP
changes...

    Homer: Guess what, kids?  They're going to pay us $50 a day to film
           some of the movie here.
  Crewman: Yeah, we'll run that cable through here.

    Homer: Careful, now -- [turns around] Hey!  Didn't you direct
           "Unnatural Discretion"?
 Director: [modest] Yes, I did.
    Homer: [holding his news] Phew-ee!  Woo!  Oh!  You know, I never
           walk out of a movie, but -- yecch!
Assistant: Ahem, I've got an idea Mr. Simpson.  Why don't you get
           something to eat from our food truck?
