Since I have done some Oracle work in the past and host lots of questions.  I found the AskTom website.  I then heard a couple of Tom’s podcast interviews: DBAZine & Oracle's OTN TechCasts.  This made me realize that Tom is somewhat of a celebrity in the Oracle space and he is very dedicated to answering questions from the community.  There is only one problem, Tom is only one person and he is not always online.  So to solve this problem (and to learn new technologies) I wrote a program to sit in the Windows System Tray and monitor the AskTom website.  It will alert you when his status changes and he starts accepting questions.  It will even hold your questions so you don’t forget them! Here is the code give it a shot!  But be aware that it is a work in progress.
