[伺か (ukagaka)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukagaka) are a type of desktop application that originated in Japan around the year 2000 akin to a desktop "mascot." data for characters (called ghosts) are independent from the base software (called SSP), meaning ghosts and their balloons (message bubbles) can be created by anyone.
|
|
|
|
aside from watching the characters converse, the software can also be used as an NTP client, notify the user of received POP3 email, manage a to-do list (and calendar), and update itself.
