This device would tell you when a buddy was online, for how long, and keeps a record of when buddies were online and offline. As well it would record their away messages that they had set up while you were away. This i would find useful when trying to figure out where someone is while trying to get a
hold of them. For instance if my friend wasnt home when i called then i could see "oh he was just online 5 mins ago, he may have just left". Or if you are spying on someone's activities you may find it useful to know when they are online and keep a record of it.

Yahoo and MSN instant messenger. Baked. |

[k_sra] I think [Joe] is actually wanting his own pc to keep track of other users activity, when he himself is away from his own pc. Hence this is not baked via MSN/Yahoo, unless there are any plugins I'm not aware of.
He gets my bun for now anyway. |

Trillian (a third-party client that supports all the major services) has a logging feature that comes close to this. It doesn't grab the away messages however. But you can grep the log for your buddy's name and easily see when they last logged on, off, went idle or returned from idle. |

widely known to exist (by me anyway) a scary service for scary times |
