Twelve days of Log: A short animation
Hi! A day or two ago, I had a rush of inspiration, and ended up doing something fairly pointless (yet, at least in my opinion, funny): I took twelve days worth of my logs, and using Gource[0], I built a little animation out of them: http://vimeo.com/25483686 There's still a lot of knobs to turn and tweak, but I thought I'd share a short demo, before I finish up this part of my log visualisation project. The fun thing is, that one does not need anything else to make these kind of animations, but syslog-ng and gource. Pretty much any recent version (possibly even 3.0) should work out of the box! I wrote a little HOWTO on it, which is available on my blog at http://algernon.blogs.balabit.com/2011/06/twelve-days-of-log/. 0: https://code.google.com/p/gource/ -- |8]

Any chance of watching it without having flash installed? I've got Iceweasel 4.0. Thanks, -matt zagrabelny

There should be a "Switch to HTML5 player" link on the vimeo page. There's also a "Download this video" option, with which you can download the source video. If neither works, let me know, and I'll upload the source video somewhere else too. -- |8]
