I read this and imagined a chat bot that listens for InstantMessages 
from you, so you can tell it when you start and stop working on various 
projects. It would generate an invoice with a PayPal link on request.

This would be excellently cool, but I don't think that's what you mean. :-)

I know we have people on the list that have written IRC bots in PHP (or 
at least thought about it)... has anyone written an IM bot in PHP? It's 
theoretically possible using a command line IM client...
