digitalmars.D.announce - Syncing files without a dynamic DNS service with D, Gmail and cURL

I figured I would share this project here since I wrote it in D 
and this is a D forum! I basically built two small programs to 
send and get a computer's IP using gmail as the static source. It 
would've been simpler to implement with some shell scripts, but I 
wanted to get practice using other d compilers and using the curl 
c bindings. A small writeup and source are below.

Mixed things up. Noon EST or 9am PST is the best time. No weekends.
