I completely understand - it's funny, but that's how LZ started out about 10 years ago. It was always FOSS until last year when I starting doing "pro" versions, but basically, it's the exact same thing (still 99.9% open source) with some extra goodies for larger companies. Sorry you hate PHP, it's been good to me, hehe. ______________________________________________________________ Clayton Dukes ______________________________________________________________ On Sat, Jan 8, 2011 at 5:31 PM, Gergely Nagy <algernon@balabit.hu> wrote:

Hi Gergely, Rather than re-invent the wheel (on the presentation layer piece), you might be interested in knowing about my project - LogZilla (http://www.logzilla.info).
I had a look at logzilla (among others) before starting on mojology, but decided to hack something up from scratch instead, for a couple of reasons:
* I wanted something small, which I can cook up within a few nights. Digging into a bigger codebase like logzilla would've taken a lot longer than what I could spare at this time.
* I'm a huge fan of the GPL, and whatever I came up with as a demo, I wanted to have it out under the that license O:)
* On the way to work one day, I came up with the name mojology, and liked it so much that I just had to use it.
* There's very few things I hate more than PHP, sorry.
It is free to use for anyone getting < 1million messages a day and even then, the full version is free for anyone who joins the team and contributes :-)
I had a look at the screenshots, and LogZilla looks very cool, but I think that the purpose of the two tools are a bit different: LogZilla appears to be an advanced viewer & reporting application, mojology is a dumb little interface without bells & whistles.
A bit like MySQL and SQLite, if I may say so (except that mojology is nowhere near the complexity of sqlite :). -- |8]
