Re:Cycas

On: Architecture / Home Design Software?

I will sing high praises of cycas.
It is purose built for adchitecture rather than being a generic CAD system.
Just like any good CAD program you don't learn it in one day but it is really nice to work with and can produce very nice eye-candy. (it uses pov-ray, but you don't need to known anything about povray to use it)

On: MySQL FS

Hmmm, this would be just like decending into
/proc/sys and changing things by doing stuff like:
echo foo > hostname
It would indeed be nice if arbitrary XML files
could be manipulated the same way.

Quite a little collection of companies
