Yes. It's just that nobody has had anything to say. And the IPs have been
stable for about 10 days now I think.

But, for the record, I'm still playing around with my dynamic DNS script.[1]
 Today I figured out how to invoke a CGI script via fetch instead of lynx.[2]
 I was having trouble running lynx from a cron job.[3] But fetch was made to
be non-interactive and does the job well. The next step is to detect that the
fetch has not updated the DNS.[4]

When I get this to a satisfactory state, I'll be posting the details on my website.

[1] - making sure my servers still work after an IP address change.

[2] - how to update my DNS with the fetch command instead of using my www browser.

[3] - a cron job is a job which automagically runs according to a preset timetable
(i.e. chronologically).

[4] - make sure that the remote system successfully updated my DNS. and if it
didn't, then remember to try again next cron job[1].
