I don't have fixed IP addresses (on DSL or cable) so this is a life saver for the remote operation of my machines. Whenever the IP changes (or the service goes down) it notifies me of the change by e-mail. So far it has never crashed or failed. As for CPU cycles used on a G4 or G5 with OS X 10.3.8, it sits at 0% except when it's actually checking the IP address or e-mailing the report. And you can set how often it performs a check in prefs. Ipanema is a utility with a very limited purpose and it performs that function flawlessly for free (although a donation is the only way to turn off a nag screen at start-up). I hope it will still work with Tiger.
Wonderful, but hoggy!

Wonderful! I have it set on an OS X Server box serving me my FTP, VPN, ssh, telnet, www and QTSS services on a dynamic DSL connection (3.0m/384k) and it's a lifesaver to be able to check hotmail to see where my server is at the moment.
The only gripe, and it's a big gripe for me, is that this sucker consumes processor cycles like it's starving. I run it on an old 7600/400MHz G3 machine with a bunch of RAM, and Ipanema consumes a constant 40% all the time. For a server that's already running on sub-par equipment, processor cycles are a precious commodity. For an application that reports IP addresses once every 10 minutes, 40% is 35% too high.

Icon bounces in the dock then closes, even after a reboot.
I'm running OSX 10.4.11 ...
