A little Perl script that uses the Net::Jabber module -- It pops up an online 
(presence) notification via Jabber.  I use Psi (psi.affinix.com) for my 
Jabber client and it works quite well.

I wrote this up (very) quickly, but it is expandable and can be used to 
provide service to many people with some simple changes to the mechanism 
(i.e. use directed presence messages).
