At a cubefarm where I used to work, we had a VoIP system which allowed people to set their ‘status’ when at their desks or in a meeting, lunch whatever. There was a manager who had 10 people reporting to him, and he never used to set his status..

Watching people trudge to his corner cube (perk?) to discover he wasn’t there about 5 times a day made me think we needed to install a convex mirror or perhaps a ‘The Doctor is In” flag just for him. Actually, I used to sit near him, so I would set his ‘away’ status for him - anyone could change another person’s status .. which was kinda weird but useful… cube community service? heh

I’d like a status page for my blog but I have better things to do with my time - work for example, and need to migrate away from my current blog engine .. and my hosting provider. hmm
