I know someone was working on it, and we occasionally hear from them, but
months go by between news updates. It's been months since the last one
(don't ask how many, I dunno.)

Personally, I wouldn't hold my breath on it, at this point. (I'll gladly
be proven wrong though.)

You could run NPDS; it has an option to send a message to the machine's
user in realtime...not really the same thing, though, but it has certain
similarities.
