Being a class-A busybody on an effort budget

Wall-of-sheep type network monitor for user-configurable interesting traffic (URLs, IM conversations)? I'm interested in the traffic that goes across a guest network at my house, but not interested enough to pull apart and re-assemble packets (I do enough of that at work). Ideally I'd like to check into a web page and have it present the clear-text URLs, IMs and other fun data it's caught during the day. Like a wall-of-sheep or Etherpeg with logging. I've already got the span port and beefy, under-utilized linux box in place. Any software recommendations?

Find That Flick!

Help us Find That Flick! It's a scary movie from the 1970s that may in fact have been a TV pilot for a show called "Ghost Story." (Open the creaking door, come inside...) My husband remembers watching a movie on TV in the 1970s. He remembers it this way: A couple with a new baby moves into a house, the husband travels a lot so hires Mrs Ramsey (Ramsay?) to help out. But there's some kind of haunting going on, and the evil spirit takes the form of the wife and tells Mrs Ramsay to go home (he remembers her spookily saying "Go hoooome, Mrs. Ramsay.").

The wife is upstairs and looks down just in time to see Mrs. Ramsay driving away, knowing something's wrong, she races for her baby.

He also wonders if something in the movie was called "Pleasant Hill," saying at one point the wife says "It wasn't very pleasant for us."

By searching IMDB on "Mrs. Ramsay," I am guessing he might be remembering 1972's "Ghost Story," but he swears he would have known if David Birney and Sebastian Cabot were in it.

Anyone out there who remembers "Ghost Story" and can confirm or deny that this is it?

Software to debug HTML

It would be nice if there was some favelet, firefox extension, or web-based app that would 1) scrape an html page for all the spans and ids on the page 2) compare this list to the stylesheet and 3) point out the elements that aren't in use any longer.

I haven't found anything like this, and I'm wondering if anyone else has.
