I keep forgetting to write something about these guys. I wrote a pair of Python scripts to watch my Last.FM and Twitter friends and pop up a little bubble when something new happens.
There are Ubuntu packages available in my PPA over on Launchpad for both of these guys that should work just fine on 8.04, and hopefully will be updated to 8.10.
For those of you not using Ubuntu, my CVS repository has the scripts themselves that you are welcome to try out.
