IDEA 20090921 AutoStat

A Python-based software that records as much data from one's system as possible, filters it, and then publishes it out to the web.

Nicky and I are working on this one. Python is perfect for this one. We decided to use AutoStat as the name.

TODO

 * Language
 * Python
 * Research

Ideas

 * Need to elaborate on possible uses.
 * System events? What possible sources of input will be integrated?
 * Could also have applications send off messages after certain tasks have been completed.
 * Keyboard input? Recent Activities?
 * Could experiment measuring with average keyboard speed to notice a persons mood.
 * Could also find future uses for when someone is doing a live show or presentation.
 * Ex. integrating voice recognition software and broadcasting snippets over the web?
 * Implement the listener as with the ability to add future types of input data in the future.
 * Other possible uses, monitoring a server's traffic, uptime, etc.
