Wish List: Decent SVG Network Elements
Categories:
Infrastructure
Nmap 5 has a really cool feature: you can scan a network and dump its map to SVG. Inkscape is turning out to be a really nice vector drawing program.
A really useful workflow would be to combine the two:
Map your network using Nmap. Tweak that map to your liking using Inkscape. Have a cool map. Unfortunately this is a harsh, cruel world we live in. The workflow we currently have is:
Map your network using Nmap. Load the map Inkscape. Search the interwebs for decent SVG network elements until you have to explain the foul language and crying to your wife. This is something Visio is famous for (network art, not the foul language and crying). Search for “visio stencils” and you’ll be bombarded with all sorts of network shapes, from major equipment manufacturers to ones that look like crayon art. Where are all the cool SVG network elements? Quantum Bits made a nice start, but we need a lot more than that.

Analysis
Today I followed the announcement of the new Chrome OS from Google and the acclaiming response it received. Am I the only one thinking: very simple, maybe TOO simple?
Since the beginning of the “browser as an OS” idea, I always wondered how I am supposed to run my favorite program, Wireshark, in a browser. Wireshark, of course, is an example, but many people do things with computers that don’t translate well into the cloud paradigm. Will they just be dismissed by OS manufacturers as a “nerdy minority”? Or will they need to stick with old uncool OSes to do their things? I’d like to be cool too, Google, but I’d still like to run Wireshark.
Another thing I feel weird about: Google is telling me not to worry about data loss, because from now on all my documents will be online. Nothing will need to be saved locally.
Actually, I like that my documents stay in my computer. Am I really the only one in the world? I’m not only talking about personal stuff like the love letters to my wife or the drunk pictures at the party last week.
