[syslog-ng] Twelve days of Log: A short animation

[Gergely Nagy]

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/.
