WeeWar is this new turn-based strategy game, all implemented in web and AJAXy goodness, that I and most of the techies as work has become addicted to. It's located at www.weewar.com, and it seems you currently need to request an invite to get in. Anyways, it's a totally cool game and worth trying.
However, as you play a turnbased game, sometimes you have to wait a few hours for the next move. That's why my coworker and awesome hacker Andreas Marienborg wrote pyWeeStatus..
As you can see from the screenshot, it's a menubar item. It lists all your ongoing games, and once it's your turn, the little man turns blue, and shows you which game requires your attention when you click on him. Andreas says he wrote this thing in python because there is no good osx menubar gui stuff for Perl. I'd love to prove him wrong on that one, so if anyone has some info on it, please send us a mail :)
*update* Andreas also mentions that he's ported this thing to GNU/Linux too, for those of you who are running other environments as well :)
