Looks cool! A fun project to make would be a "what did you do today" sort of service that you could IM with descriptions of what you're working on. I know that even though I have a journal, sometimes it's a pain to either keep it open all the time or open it up just to write down "worked on foo bar." I always have my IM client up, though.

Awesome idea. It could also be cool to hook into something like the RescueTime API (is there one?) or selfspy.py to start nagging during unproductive activities.

If anyone else is thinking about going ahead with this, consider dropping down to xmpppy[0], which does the lifting behind the scenes[1]. The design here seems to be intended for more strictly syntaxed command-response interfaces.

Is xmppflask alive yet? No commits since 2012-08-16 :( https://bitbucket.org/k_bx/xmppflask/commits/all

Yes, it's bit stalled, but is not dead as it looks like. I have big set of patches for "actions", MUC, xmppflask-as-lib support, need just to found some time to make tests right and push them to the upstream. I'd planned to get them on this month, so stay tuned - April is not over (;

This is pretty exciting, I was thinking of creating an HTTP UI for controlling some stuff at home, but XMPP would be much better. Now I can talk to my house!
