I have created an application using wxpython that reports Hobbit/Big Brother events directly to your desktop, for either Unix or Windows platforms.
I'd very much like to try this - we whipped up a small silly perl script which was dubbed Sauron to "keep an eye on hobbit." It's just a desktop widget that reflects the color of the main status page. Same reason; easier to notice the colored eye sitting there, than to be staring at the webpage and let's not even talk about email ,-). I'm running linux on my laptop. I have 8 different desktops and when you have a webpage open on a desktop, the taskbar shows the favicon for that webpage.
So when I have hobbit running on a desktop I always see the hobbit status in myu webpage. (It's easier to see in a screen shot then to explain it, just runs linux and you will see ;) ).
