I am throwing together a little ncurses fronted for bitcoind (or any fork) because it fits nicely into my xmonad desktop without that harsh graphical background of the gui cilent, but quicker to use than typing commands.  

Is anyone else interested in this?  I just started today, if anyone is interested I can throw it up on github as soon as its usable.  I dont know if this already exists or not, I didn't really search for one.
