+# Silly alive watchdog
+
+Is [Nando](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106246/characters/nm0000160) alive? 
+
+At server side, run `nandod` with suitable arguments
+
+At clients, run `nando -i 600` to update status every 10 minutes.
+
+You can send a custom text file with the update, generated with ex. `nando-desc`
+
+Nando clients can query which other clients are online, and what their status is
+(whatever you choose to update with the text data)
