What kind of framework? Just anything random?

#17At work I create a lot of flowcharts, e.g. http://www.freshfreestuff.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/gli... . I usually use Gliffy or UMLet. The problem is, all of these have drag-and-drop interfaces where you have to use the mouse all the time-and moving back and forth from the mouse to keyboard is painful for me. It also means that making flowcharts takes much longer than necessary-it would be really useful to have sane default keyboard shortcuts like "create a node beneath the currently selected node."
So some method of using, say, Gliffy without having to use the mouse would be awesome.
Disclaimer: I am not a programmer and have no idea how interesting this is, I can only speak to how much it would help me.

They already kindof let you do that, the thing I can't find any simple way to do is download all of my friends photo albums that I'm tagged in somewhere. I don't really take photos, so most of my precious memories are in other people's photo collections. If someone makes that I may well even give them money.
It shouldn't be too hard, just a few graph API queries and a loop to call curl, but I've never got around to it.

you should look into graphviz, this article posted a few weeks ago comes to mind: http://robrhinehart.com/?p=119

Edit: witch means he owns the original code but you can do (almost) anything with it.
