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.

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.

Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
