Buddy Stalker

This Widget shows a graphical history of the IM status of your iChat buddies. Choose to keep a 5 hour, 10 hour, or truly obnoxious 24 hour graph on your screen. As the hours pass, the bars on the graph slide to the left, so the most recent data is always at the right-hand side.

Bonus function: You can also leave 'frozen messages' for buddies who are offline. The messages are delivered through IM as soon as the buddy becomes available.

Is there somewhere we could get the source for this? It's a great Widget, but I'd love to expand it.

Interesting widget. What's creepy about it? I think the only thing that's creepy is the name. Buddy Tracker might sound less ominous. Idea of making it collapsible is a great concept. Those of us with a truckload of buddies would appreciate a little more screen real estate.

Keep up the good work.

hmmm... the frozen message (seems to) work(s) if the user is offline, but not if they are set to "away". Also, I seem to be having problems with iChat thinking its connected, but its not... but that's not related to this widget. Cool idea, somewhat spooky, but cool. ;-)

I have but one, well 2 problems, 1) a few of my friends buddy icons have become oversized in the little window in the widget so as you could guess it covers other names, and since i am on aim 24/7 my comp is always on so after a few days with this open the comp runs slower and slower untill i get sick of it and restart, if i dont have it open its all fine.

Thanks for posting it. This is a great tool. It seems to eat up a lot of memory over a period of days though. In Activity Monitor, after I quit the Widget, the Window Server memory use goes down by about 200 megs. Maybe I'm misunderstanding it though.
