I host a personal website on my pi - after losing my free dyndns account I came up with this solution. It's ugly but it works for me...

I have an account with Dreamhost for my other sites. On Dreamhost I created a subdomain pi.mydomainname.com. My pi checks it's external ip address every 10 minutes - if it changes - it ftp's its new address to pi.mydomainname.com. If you browse over to pi.mydomainname.com there is an index.php that does a redirect to whatever the latest pi ip address is.

My address changed last weekend and the site is still up.

I was fed up with password hell so came up with this solution - it's not perfect but it does work...

1.Think of a song lyric such as "Welcome to the house of fun" (Madness)
2.Think of this as "wtthof" (the initial letters)
3.Extrapolate a letter for a number. In this case "to = 2". So we now have "w2thof".
4.Some sites require 8 letters so (at this stage) we need at least 7 letters (we only have 6 right now). The word "Welcome" could be "wc" instead of just "w". So we now have "wc2thof".
5.Finally, take the first letter of the website you want log in to, "F" for Facebook, "E" for eBay etc and add a capital of that letter to the front of the password.
So, Facebook password would be "Fwc2thof"
Ebay password would be "Ewc2thof"

This gives up to 26 different passwords that cover all the rules and is easy to remember (WelCome 2 The House Of Fun)

If the website name starts with a number (such as 123-reg.com), keep the original rule (the first letter) but make the last letter a capital. This would make "1wc2thoF

I've got a car, motorbike and yacht license but... don't own a car, motorbike or yacht.

Over here in Blighty we have a little known provider called giffgaff. It runs on the O2 network. It's a very community driven business, the only advert I've ever seen in before The Big Bang Theory. I've been using them for over a year. I pay (no contract) £10 a month and get 250 mins, unlimited texts and 1GB data (+ free giffgaff to giffgaff calls). For £12 you get the above with unlimited data. And they mean unlimited.

Silly name, great company.

According to the TV this morning (the delicious Susanna Reid), the Ceefax name came from "See facts".

I believe it is intentional.

From Wikipedia

Pr0n is slang for pornography.[1] This is a deliberately inaccurate spelling/pronunciation for porn,[14] where a zero is often used to replace the letter O. It is sometimes used in legitimate communications (such as email discussion groups, Usenet, chat rooms, and internet web pages) to circumvent language and content filters, which may reject messages as offensive or spam. The word also helps prevent search engines from associating commercial sites with pornography, which might result in unwelcome traffic.

I was just having a look at the *official" North Korean website and did a whois on it. Interestingly the domain was registered in Spain:

Registrant:
  korea-dpr.com #29996
        Alejandro Cao de benos de Les Perez (vientian@hotmail.com)
        Calle President Companys 4-8
        Torredembarra -Tarragona ,43830

I've read some comments above the expense of owning a smart phone. Here's what I paid/pay (in the UK).

Handset: Android ZTE Blade - Cost new £100 ($159 USD)

Monthly cost: I'm on PAYG and pay £10 / mo ($16 USD) - I get 500MB data, 300 texts and £10 call credit.

That is not expensive for someone working full time.

Too late. The intertubes have already bolted from the stable. Good luck trying to catch them.
