I want to code a Bot… Maybe a GregBot? Since most of my IM replies usually are, “yep, yeah, ok, cool” it shouldn’t be too hard. ;)

Actually I think a StatusBot would be cool. A Bot I could leave running at work that I could interact with to quickly and easily check the status of different processes, servers and things. It would let me pro-actively check these status items from where ever I am, including via my cell phone…

Now I just need to get off my butt and see if that is even do’able with the above SDK.
