Couldn't sleep this morning. Woke up at 4am thinking about some code I had worked on a few months ago. Brain revved up, so I figured I was hosed for going back to bed. I found the code I was thinking about, but remembered that I hadn't designed it well for testability, and that I wanted to be able to verify every last line of code in that sucker

Do you own DNSalias.com? That may be even dorkier than arjache's deeness.net.

That would be indeed, but no. dnsalias.com is one of many hostnames owned by dyndns.com, who offer a convenient service to poor cable users like me who can't guarantee a static IP. Through the use of some cron + perl magick, you can get your computer to auto-update your IP information on their server, and they will happily update their DNS pointers for you (limited to a few times a day, I'm sure, but I don't reboot the cable modem that often...). The service is free for subdomains of some list of 50 domains, I think you can grab up to five for free, actually.

Aaaand that's all the advertising I feel like writing in exchange for the service they provide me :)
