display dialog "This script will run as a stay-open application that checks for the current IP address of this computer every 30 minutes and will send the IP address in an email to a specified user if the IP address has changed." buttons {"Quit", "Edit Settings", "Continue"} default button 3
set the button_pressed to the button returned of the result
if the button_pressed is "Quit" then
	tell me to quit
else if the button_pressed is "Edit Settings" then
	set the localized_file to path to resource "Localizable.strings"
	tell application "TextEdit"
		activate
		open the localized_file
	end tell
	tell me to quit
end if

on idle
	try
		set message_subject to localized string "message_subject"
		set recipient_name to localized string "recipient_name"
		set recipient_address to localized string "recipient_address"
		
		set the HTML_result to do shell script "curl 'http://checkip.dyndns.org'"
		set x to the offset of ": " in the HTML_result
		set the the HTML_result to text from (x + 2) to -1 of the HTML_result
		set x to the offset of return in the HTML_result
		set the the IP_address to text 1 thru (x - 2) of the HTML_result
		
		if the stored_IP is not the IP_address then
			set the stored_IP to the IP_address
			tell application "Mail"
				activate
				set this_message to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:message_subject}
				tell this_message
					make new to recipient at beginning of to recipients with properties {name:recipient_name, address:recipient_address}
					set content to the IP_address
					set visible of this_message to true
				end tell
				send this_message
			end tell
		end if
	end try
