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.

*** Something I should have made clear in the description***

Also, about icons: If the widget can pull off an icon from iChat, it saves it, changes its size, and uses it. In my limited experience, iChat doesn't seem to provide the icons through AppleScipt if the Buddy is not also using iChat. Also, the custom icons that you may make for people in the Adress Book are not supported. If you use iChatBezel, a… More

Very cool application! I always wondered when my Dad tried to call when I was out! Pictures instead of the stock aol icon would be great. I do have a blank, unclaimed icon at the top of my list I don't know how to get rid of though ... Any suggestions?
