What I'd be doing in your position is running a background daemon that checks the IP every 10 minutes or so and, if it changes, e-mails me with the new IP. Then if I'm surfing at some public AP and need to ssh into my box, I'd check my e-mail first.

This is reasonably easy to do in Linux, though. If you're running Windows, you could probably do the same thing using Perl or something like that.
