About Eavesdropper:

XML reporting tool for gathering various tidbits about your computer, and reporting this. Currently includes modules for trivia about your system, and SoundPlay's most recently played songs (formerly known as PlayLog).

Eavesdropper is a very simple server-style program that maintains info about your machine. That's a very vague answer, I'm aware, but its intentional - the information it gathers is really determined by the "modules" (not really plugins) it runs. These modules either directly gather information themselves, or ask other external apps (such as SoundPlay, via the included PlayLog plugin). This information is then reported back by eavesdropper.client, which isn't much of a program; it simply returns the XML output of all available, reporting modules that eavesdropper.server manages to run.

This distribution also includes instructions on how one might propagate this data out to a remote webserver for inclusion in something more topically and aesthetically pleasing, like a weblog.

Check out the "screenshots" link above for a live site using this stuff - my blog!

Later research pointed out PlayLog's similarity to "BlogAmp" for Windows.


Details about this version:
 
Fixed a bug in SoundPlayModule that failed to wipe clean the module's state before each successive invocation, thus, the song list would get infinitely large.
