Hey just wanted to know how to set up something in which i could monitor my computer at home over the internet to my laptop at work. I would like it to be able to mainly tell me any instant message conversations.
Look for UltraVNC (Ultr@ VNC), set up and configure the server on your computer at home. And then run the client at work, and you'll have full remote access.
Monitor computer over the internet. 
Linear Mode
