AA> NEWS::: Fidograph: The nodelist visualized:
AA> :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
AA>
AA> This little project may have already been around for a while,
AA> but it deserves a retelling.
AA>
AA> Fidograph provides a visual interpretation of the Fidonet
AA> nodelist.
AA>
AA> Usage:
AA>
AA>
http://2613.ru/fidograph/?z=#
AA>
http://2613.ru/fidograph/?r=##
AA>
http://2613.ru/fidograph/?n=###
AA>
AA> where:
AA>
AA> z=zone
AA> r=region
AA> n=net
AA>
AA> and:
AA>
AA> #|##|###=the number of the zone, region, or net.
AA>
AA> Operation:
AA>
AA> When the presentation is rendered, hover over each termination
AA> point to get a pop-up of the system info for that nodule.
AA>
AA> A double-click on each node/nodule will transport you to a
AA> fully rendered results page of an implementation of the
AA> NodeHist project originally by Pavel Gulchouck 2:463/68,
AA> operating as:
http://nodehist.wfido.ru/ and is the same script
AA> that is runs as
https://nodehist.fidonet.org.ua/
AA>
AA> The Fidograph project uses the daily nodelist sources for a
AA> fully up to date report.
AA>
AA>
AA> Uses:
AA>
AA> [1] A fun way to explore the nodelist.
AA> [2] Identify your favourite net and use that as a "live"
AA> desktop background.
AA> [3] Sysops: use that to illustrate nodelist structure to
AA> new sysops or users alike.
AA>

AA> The backstory:

AA>
AA> Google-translate does a fine job converting the content to
AA> English.

http://www.2613.ru/fidograph/?n=229 looks kinda freaky!
AA>
AA>
AA> Those Russian lads in Zone 2 are very imaginative and creative!
AA>
AA> Credit to John Dovey (@ 4:920/1) for bringing Fidograph to my
AA> attention.
