In the meantime, there's a simpler but highly related implementation in <a href="http://codinginparadise.org/projects/svgweb/samples/demo.html" rel="nofollow">SVG Web demo</a> you may be interested in.

In the meantime, we've been busy and have already improved it a lot (in terms of feature set and user experience). I hope to have some availability in order to publish a more updated version, potentially in an OSS project so that others can participate. Thanks, Helder Hi Leslie,

I've slightly adapted the Interactors section to look nicer, and I'm using it for an internal application for Process Library Navigation. I'll send you a copy if you want it. Thanks Leslie Software Quality Manager Nokia UK Brilliant.

So said the great Mcluhan. Take it from me... And keep in mind that a minimalistic design can also have appeal. However, not this one! I know you're not a white sheet of anything so why not try adding a personal touch in the style.css? Perhaps a different font and a some minimal graphic changes. Much like the sites you mention. Think about it and it will come to you. But my friend, medium IS the message! So said the great Mcluhan. Take it from me… And keep in mind that a minimalistic design can also have appeal.

In some circumstances, this is usually confused with a defect, as many can't clearly distinguish both (style from content). :-) Also, another reason which is stopping me from applying a decent looking WordPress theme is the fact that I'd love to make a few experiments with WP regarding a SVG-in-HTML hybrid theme (for example, I'd consider <a href="http://codedread.com/" rel="nofollow">codedread.com</a> or <a href="http://burningbird.net/" rel="nofollow">burningbird.net</a> as good examples for inspiration at the moment). ;-) A “table napkin”… :-D

Let’s hope you really build on this design! For now it just looks like a table napkin or an allusion to cocaine (all white?). I'll be “trolling” around here and stir things up... such as posting the occasional death threats, rantings and such. Now, for real… I’m glad you decided to start a blog. I see this as an extra way to keep in touch and hear about a valued and interesting old friend more often. Cheers mate! Finally! Let’s hope you really build on this design!

Everything is super adjectivated! It's like having 8 billion people, all trying to get your attention by the mastering of wordbites or soundbites (or bytes). IT Performance is pretty much the most paradigmatic case for it and its stupid prefixes. Everything is like: super, hyper, ultra, jumbo, macro. Like it's gonna explode in your face, when actually, it's gonna under-perform like hell! If only they did a more realistic and "honest" approach... something like stating the damn speed in mbps! People wouldn't be fooled and actually enjoy a bit more performance with the added knowledge of self-explanatory terms! How "super" that would be...
