A web-based application to semi-automate site map creation - I started working with GraphViz this month and have created a web-based application that converts tab delimitted text files into diagrams. The sole purpose for the application at this point is to turn site inventories or IA hierarchies into site maps.

Before you ask why I bothered do this, I'll give a little history. Immediately after writing the article Automating Diagrams with Visio for Boxes and Arrows I began to see that I didn't want to draw circles, boxes, lines, etc. anymore. That hacky process I used served its purpose. But over the past year I have learned to let databases and scripting languages to the heavy work we normally do in applications like Excel, e.g. content inventories, site architecture (capturing page/node data and parent child relationships). But I still have the need to work with Excel or plain text files for some of the smaller sites I work on outside of my day job. So I still do the site architecture in Excel and now I can do the diagramming in GraphViz.

So try out the app and let me know if you are doing anything similar or see other uses for this thing. [IASlash]

Is this you? Nerdy? Creepy? Alone? Don't have a girlfriend? Do your other imaginary friends mock you incessantly for your total lack of female companionship, love, acceptance, or even casual human contact? What if there were a simple kit that would silence the piercing voices and echoed braying laughter of your detractors once and for all? Well until there is, you can fend off their scathing retributions with this: Imaginary Friends - Instant Girlfriend®!

ik ga vast ooit spijt krijgen van dat een ieder kan zien hoe lang mijn systeem up is (zielig) en wat de kernel versie is (come in!), maar tot die tijd kunt u zien dat willy echt op klasieke hardware draait (en dat is echt de snelste pc die bij mij in huis staat). //sysinfo van willy online.
