Arthur, can you run dnsput.sh to update the DNS records?

The sloppy or casual nature of scripting is partly intentional. The Unix
"ls" program (to list files) is about the size of a script, but it's not
called a script because it's thorough and documented.

"Tools" is very generic, it could mean almost anything: programming
tools? system tools? "Utilities" would be a similarly generic word.
