patron saint of lost machines
anthony is a daemon that keeps track of a machine's public IP, updates some DNS service when the machine's IP changes and can send out notifications when connectivity/address changes occur.
currently supports only GoDaddy as a DNS service and Mailgun for sending out notifications.
