glTail is a pretty neat little script (make sure you check out the video on the homepage.. static image doesn’t do it justice). It’s a ruby script that creates a visual representation of log files.
Install (if you have rubygems) is as easy as:

Updated: A new drobo firmware release now gives me ~7.5MBps on both download and upload through droboshare. Others have experienced problems with this release though so it should probably not be installed until these issues are resolved
I’ve seen very little posted online about Drobo’s (first version Drobo) performance so I decided I’d post [...]
My favorite apps is updated. After three years I’ve found quite a few more apps to use on Windows and I wanted to share them. Feel free to add your own favorites to the comments.

Unlocker: http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/
I’ve used this one and it’s very easy. Secondary click on your drive in explorer and hit “Unlocker” from the in context menu. It’ll tell you what processes are using it and even has a button to kill them.
I’ve heard this one mentioned as well, but [...]

So far the trip has been rather successful. I was up for about 36hrs straight yesterday to try and cope [...]

I couldn’t find a helper in the API to just display months if you’re storing them as numbers (1-12) so I made one.
Add this helper code to your application_helper.rb or other appropriate *_helper.rb file.
def monthname(monthnumber)

Date::MONTHNAMES[monthnumber]
end
end
Use it in your view like this:
< %=h monthname(item.month) %>
There’s no good tail -f equivalent for commandline in Windows. I’ve tried the following with success. All are free:
Lightweight and my favorite for now, pretty easy to customize: BareTail
Very lightweight: Tail for Win32
Somewhat more heavyweight and customizable. Easy to change highlight colors: MakeLogic Tail
All of these have tabbed/multi-buffer interfaces.
Just download one [...]
