Ted Leung talks about tcpsound and peep, tools which play sounds in response to network traffic.
In a recent bid we put in to a large mobile phone network provider, one component was aural feedback on network status, using a similar idea. Imagine, if you will, the sounds of a tropical rain-forest, on a calm Sunday afternoon. Peaceful, relaxing. All is calm ... then slashdot links to your website's front page, and suddenly the tropical harmony is disrupted as a monsoon hits. The sound of the downpour is the sound of your network traffic.
I really only posted this to try out the link between NetNewsWire 2.0 and ecto ... it does indeed work as advertised, and makes me very, very, happy!
