You're not alone!

What you want is a dynamic DNS service, which basically means you get a DNS entry like 'my_name.someDNSservice.com' and a bit of software that runs on your computer which sends a note of your current IP address to the dns server every now and then.
This will let you put a link on your site to

my_name.someDNSservice.com:8000/listen.pls

and whatever your IP is, the DNS will know and automagically forward the request to your machine.

The service I use on my DSL is from http://******.deerfield.com/, but I know there are quite a few different (free!) options out there for you to choose.

Good luck!
