code_swarm and Splunk

[kordless]

I've put together a document on how to use code_swarm and Splunk
together to visualize other data sets. I think you guys have done a
fantastic job with the project, and found it quite easy to integrate
different types of data into the visualizations.

Because code_swarm is written in Processing, I was speculating on the
difficulty of running the output in your browser. Granted, the
connectors for getting data from a file would need to be rewritten,
but in theory those could come from another data source (like a web
server or Splunk for that matter). Do you guys have any thoughts on
moving it to be run in a user's browser?

I welcome any feedback you guys have, and I'm willing to write a
Splunk connector/app for connecting into code_swarm if anyone would
be interested. Keep in mind Splunk is free if you are indexing less
than 500MB of logs a day, so it would be a good choice for indexing,
extracting, and generating XML for consumption by code_swarm.

Cheers, and thanks for all the great work!
