Can anyone tell me if and where I can find an app that logs web usage? I'm not looking for web developing tools. I'm looking for more of a parental control type of thing. I'm new to linux, but I'm willing to write my own app if someone would give me some guidance.

If last month's Infrastrucuture issue was too "big" for you then try on this month's Embedded issue. Find out how to use Player for programming mobile robots, build a humidity controller for your root cellar, find out how to reduce the boot time of your embedded system, and if you're new to embedded systems find out the basics that go into one. You can also read about the Beagle Board, the Mesh Potato and a spate of other interestingly named items. And along with our regular columns don't miss our new monthly column: Economy Size Geek.
HTTP Proxy
On October 6th, 2008 Mitch Frazier says:
You might try using an HTTP proxy, such as squid (http://www.squid-cache.org).
Squid keeps log files of all HTTP traffic that passes through it.
Since you say you're willing to write your own app I presume you're just new to Linux and not new to computers so you should be able to slog your way through the documentation.
