Visualizing logfiles

glTail is an attempt at visualizing logfiles in an interesting, animated way.

The script was written in ruby and uses opengl to display the log animations.

Not quite informative put perhaps a nice artistic attempt. In the real world, nothing beats the standard tools such as grep, tail and otherswhen it comes to analyzing log files.
