Hey good score! Screwmusicforever reminds me, I'm going to write a Java client/server
application
this weekend which processes the output from tcpdump on my various servers and sends
the results to
my central X-windows computer. It's probably already been done before, but instead of
watching
lights blink on my hub each time a network connection is made, I'm going to render
tcpdump with
sound. Kind of like processing the output from that fork bomb from the other week.
That might give
the network some aura... will have to read Walter Benjamin again. Thanks for the
links!
