I'm curious if a bot or set of bots can be made to run on a web server in PHP / CGI / whatever is most convenient.
The bots maintains the connections with the named servers, saves all received messages to some sort of a log file, and the owner of the bot visits a special web page to retrieve the logs to see who/when messaged them. Also, upon a received msg, the bot would auto respond some sort of an away message.
I'm curious if this can be done as I like to stay in contact with ppl, but I can't always do so because I travel. This would allow me get the messages I need without having to rely on a cell phone.
I don't have the knowledge of writing this, but am curious if someone already has written one, is now curious about writing one, or whatever.
ICQ / AIM / YIM / IRC / ETC Bot

I didn't think it would be, but maybe someone could write the backend of the bot, and whoever else took an interest could write a module for whichever messenging service they needed/wanted. So at least 1 person wouldn't have to write the entire thing.
I just know I don't possess the knowledge to do so. >< : (
