In my free time I like to create stuff. Here are a few of my creations.

Architecture by Hand (an OmniGraffle stencil)

Architecture by Hand is a stencil for OmniGraffle that I designed (I hired an artist to do the artwork) to assist me in creating technical diagrams and workflows for work and personal use.  The stencil features common information technology iconography in a hand-drawn whiteboard style.

Icons include:

    I love this stencil and just purchased it. However, for my needs it's not quite complete. I'd like to request:
    - a circle
    - icons for a:
    - switch
    - firewall
    - backup server
    - tape array
    - ups

    Thanks!
  • Clif Smith
    And another I just ran across, an icon for an air conditioner, chiller, etc. A couple of ideas would be to mimic the UPS icon and use a portable fan or even a window AC unit.

    Thanks, Clif
  • Clif Smith
    Um, a few more requests... :-)
    - fiber channel switch
    - ldap server
    - ldap repository

    Thanks!
  • Clif, thanks for buying! I'll add your items to the list.
  • Thanks Clif for letting me know about this stencil. Jonathan excellent job! I just purchased it as well.

    I also agree with Clif I would like to see the shapes he requested.

    Thanks!
