IP change

tnir’s IP changed again this morning. But that’s a lot better than before. I am keeping logs in the iplogs directory and it seems the last ip (64.229.233.153) lasted from 10:40pm Monday through to 9:20 this morning. I check the IP every ten minutes, but only update the logs if (a) the IP has changed, or (b) this is the tenth time the check has run. You can check it out yourself if you like. It’s turgid, uncommented Perl though. :-)

Btw, not sure if I mentioned this, but as an emergency backup system, tnir automatically maintains my bare-bones website on samurai with links to the current IP address. [That's what all that stuff about "/Documents/emerg" in the script is about — it's a directory of HTML templates that get scp'ed somewhere; in my case, home.samurai.com, which is hard-coded into the script. Hey, I said it was turgid, didn't I?]

  • It changed again about an hour after I posted. *sigh.

    I had been thinking that moving to istop wasn't all that much a priority, now that my Sympatico IP was somewhat stable. But it looks like I shouldn't put it off too long. The thing is, I have to *cancel* the Sympatico Ultra before I can get the istop 3.5Mbps service. That means I may have to switch back to Rogers for a bit (which I haven't gotten around to cancelling yet) while DSL sorts itself out.

    Double *sigh.
