Logstalgia - Website Access Log Visualization

445K views · 16 years ago · demo · dated

A demo of Logstalgia, a tool that visualizes website access logs as a game of Pong. Each web request becomes a ball sent to a paddle, so server traffic can be watched in real time.

HN people share it as a favorite demo of turning raw server logs into something playful to watch.
