Easy text messaging to offline buddies in iChat

Yeah, I discovered this recently, too. And because iChat is scriptable, I was able to write a script to check to see if any of my servers are down, and to send a message to my phone if there are any problems. I'm thinking of moving to the Nagios monitoring system, and may be able to get that to send me messages, too.
