If we make the alarm sound like a vuvuzela it'll be like the World Cup all over again.

sudo /usr/sbin/tcpdump -i en1 -l host google.com or host google-analytics.com 2>/dev/null | perl -ne 'if (time - $lasttime > 1) { `say zzzzzzzz`; print "spoke to google at ", scalar localtime, "\n"; } $lasttime = time;'
