In my small world of contacts, two people have pointed to Jon Udell's column about using music (and sounds borrowed from nature) to indicate server moods. Peep, the software, aims to put your server log files to music. What a sweet way to monitor machine health! Easy for a systems person to assimilate the baseline network condition, thanks to brains which seek out patterns, and then use the actual logs and dashboards to delve into details should something sound off.

Also, who picks the style of music one must listen to while on hold?
