Paul, could you explain your expected use case / purpose - it's 
intriguing. (And it feels like the suggestions don't preclude GUI or web 
use, so perhaps a bonus. [RSS feeds? Android/smartphone receipt?])

Your specifications almost mind me of an intra-office alert / chat / 
SMS/IRC, ~BB msg'r, PA / status system. Server down in aisle 5. 
(Emergency - office lockdown.)

Such also minds me of a Snort / IDS / low disk space systems monitors 
alerts destination. (Such burying one in e-mail becomes problematic.)

Intriguing.
