I need to automate an IM client to update a status every few hours, basically log in, update status, log out. I'm trying to do this with windows scripting, but cannot seem to find the proper hook names to the application. Is there somewhere specific I can look to find this kind of information about an application, or am I merely going about this with the wrong tool in hand?
What IM client are you trying to automate?
Many popular IM services now have their own official API's that you can use to interface with their service programatically rather than having to 'hook' into a client. Third party libraries are also fairly widely available (Google around).
I used the AIM API to write a couple of fairly nifty utilities recently. AOL offers SDK's for several popular platforms including C, Java and C#.

I am looking for a tool to create an app out of a website.
Basically I want to provide two files: .exe (win) and .app (mac), which both either look for an appropriate browser software on the clients system or use an included version of Firefox or Chrome to display a website without any GUI from the browser.
As far as I know, the service wunderlist did exactly that: create a responsive website and deliver it on almost every platform as an app by using such a thing. Sadly I was not able to learn more about their way of doing it.
Is there already a project for doing so, or do I have to start from scratch?
You can use WebKit to achieve your goal. There are apis in C++, C#, Python and so on...
It is a complete web browser engine. With WebKit you can open a website and display it in your application window.
Check out http://www.webkit.org/
Chrome is based on WebKit.

So, i came with a start up idea, but in order to make it happen, i need to make a web app communicate with any finger print usb scanner - those that you can buy anywere. It must take the scanned finger print and save it in the cloud data base.
It would be difficult,code wise?
I want to code it in Ruby on Rails
As RoR is server-side you would want to use some client-side language to interact with a clients usb, such as JavaScript. I know Chrome offer a feature to do this but am unsure if it will be available across multiple browsers.

I'm looking to make a "small" firewall that can intercept HTTP traffic, it should then modify or drop the packet according to its ip address and the content(text) of the packet.
I googled several times before I created this question.
Im afraid it'll take a long time, also, I do not have any experience in developing a driver kernel-mode.
Recently though, I came across a library for python (scapy), and from the documentation, it is able to sniff as well as forge traffic.
However I have a few questions about scapy:
What does it mean to "forge network packets?" Does it forge a copy of the packets?
Thanks in advance.
PS: Also since I'm not experienced in developing drivers in kernel-mode, is there any alternative library in user-mode? The programming language used is not my goal, my goal is to accomplish this task in a short period of time and as simply as it can be done.
Also since I'm not experienced in developing drivers in kernel-mode, is there any alternative library in user-mode?
Yes, have a look at my project called WinDivert. WinDivert lets you capture/modify/drop packets from a user-mode application (no kernel programming required).

I am planning to develop a web app which will detect faces in a jpeg image. I will use tomcat for deployment. I want help on how to proceed.
I dont want any code.
Just a flowchart of steps will do. I want to avoid use of third party libraries for face detection. But please list all options.
Any information, algorithm, resource will be greatly helpful.
Thank you..
I would recommend using a 3rd party lib such as OpenCV. You'll want to look at the Haar feature detector. There's some info here http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/FaceDetection and plenty more on the OpenCV mailing list.
There are Java bindings for OpenCV http://code.google.com/p/javacv/ . But it might be easiest to produce a separate command line util that you shell out to in Tomcat.

I am looking for some way to roll back file changes. I have looked at versioning systems such as tortoiseCVS, but I can't seem to get it setup.
If anyone can help me find a great solution to track and roll back file changes on win7 that would be great!

One very easy solution is to use DropBox. It uses SVN under the hood, but you don't have to do anything, or even be aware of that fact. All the files in your dropbox folder are automatically versioned. Now, DropBox also lets you share files, and replicates them to the web, but you don't have to use these features at all.
The main limitation is that the free account is limited to 2 GB.
