In another dicussion at ApacheCon today I realised - I really want an
IRC bot which logs all IRC messages. Fhen if I'm offline & stuff happens on IRC it keeps a
daily-updated RSS feed for each user of all the stuff I missed.
i.e. I can subscribe to an IRC channel by my username - but I only see
stuff that happened while I wasn't there - and the output is 1 page per
day for those times I wasn't there.

Having a blast at ApacheCon.
My brain was quite spinning after a long day chatting to some
fascinating folks. Spend much of the day with lots of Geronimo
developers hacking away.
I had a great chat with Brian
about various things; in particular using Groovy as an SQL-like
language to query OJB (or JDBC) sounded pretty cool. There's already a
little Swing client for groovy thats kinda like an SQL query tool; type
in stuff & execute and the like. Am about to try hack together a
console for querying Geronimo's entity beans via groovy...
Had a great dinner & long chat with Ted Leung where I rambled on about Groovy some more :) and then talked about pretty much the whole IT spectrum.
Incidentally the seaside
project came up a few times in discussions which is well worth a look -
with its use of closures for SQL (rather like Groovy Data Objects) as
well as its use of continuations for neater web application development.
Ted explained quite a bit about the Chandler
project which sounds fascinating. At first when I heard of Chandler I
kinda thought, oh another PIM GUI and it didn't seem to register much
on my radar. However talking to Ted it sounds like the open source
project is gonna have a totally open repository & back end which is
gonna be scriptable and accessible from any language - so imagine
scripting your blog posts / IM messages / email / RSS feeds / contacts etc. Sounds
really cool! I might have to hack some Groovy - Chandler stuff :)
