Having access to the remote machine(s) will be very useful, because there will always be something that breaks and you'll need to admin that computer. I maintain a Windows 95 computer trans-Atlantic via remote VNC access. Basic setup:
Dynamic DNS:

British Airways Flight 5390 was a British Airways flight between Birmingham International Airport in England and Málaga, Spain.

The hardware seems to be hardwired to framechannel.com. By using a (wireless) router that can either
1. do URL redirects, or

it should be possible to use an alternative service, or setup your own RSS feed. There are lots of things you then could to.
Also, it would be possible to "hide" behind a hard-to-guess RSS URL, or possibly have the RSS server to only respond to certain IP numbers.
Irony is not about reciprocity. If person A does thing X, and somehow it comes back and bites them in the ass, that is not ironic". Instead, "Irony is the use of words in a way to conceal true intention with literal intention. More clearly, irony is when you say one thing but mean another." [not the thing you are describing].

On Children
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
and He bends you with His might
that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let our bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable.
Kahlil Gibran
