Shit man, you didn't sleep very long. I'd still be in a coma if it weren't for work!

Too hot?

I couldn't even do splits when I did Taekwondo. :(

Say that again and I'll come squash you! :P

That was just the first video that came up. :P

Some of what he does with the pole is very impressive, but stuff like the one-handed upside-down splits could be done anywhere.

(Was actually looking for something a bit more acrobatic, but none of the subsequent videos I found were as good.)

No, this guy is a mentalist:



That guy is just exceedingly flexible, strong, graceful, etc.

I woke up. I can't get back to sleep when I wake up so... that's it. Sometimes it happens early :(

You should have volunteered to go to work for me. I didn't have any problems staying asleep. :-(

Does anyone know of a way to show a log file live on a webpage?

I've searched a bit and not found anything useful.

Chrissssss wants a better chat system where he can see more past chat messages. I want to do this by putting the live chat on the mini-site somehow.

Also, rather than showing the full log file live I want to only show certain sections. Using tail and grep it'd look like this...

tail -fn 500 server.log | grep "[INFO]*<"

Ideas on a postcard.

Not a clue, but I already have a chat setup on my site if you can't be bothered to set one up. I'd just make a minecraft room.

But it needs to be able to show the ingame chat.

 

There is some Minecraft IRC chat plugin I could look into and do it that way, but not sure I can be bothered that much.

I was wondering how that was going to work, otherwise we could just use some other IM. If I have time I'll try to help research for you.

Nah, it has to be ingame. Otherwise for people who aren't too bothered about chat history (me) we'd have to use two things for mining and chatting.

Just pull the file into PHP and do something with it there? Then a javascript thing to keep reloading it?

tail would be simpler but then you'd need something constantly running and tailing it out to another file then pulling it in to PHP anyway.

Or if you've allowed php to do exec then exec the tail from a PHP which is refreshed by JS. Can PHP then get stdout? I''ve not used exec for yeeears.

Yup I agree.

Yeah I want it all in one rather than tailing it to another file because that's too many things going on then. I was just showing with the tail example of what I'm after.

I'm not exactly good at PHP but I shall get reading!

Just read the file into PHP, chop the bit you want (last n lines) then spit it out. Pull it in all ajaxy-like from a constantly running JS function and that's it.

Ahh ok. I think all you'd need there is file() or file_get_contents() and a bit of regex to pull out the actual chat messages. Actually, may as well use file() then recurse through the array (file() puts the lines of a file into an array) for ones which don't start with a chat message character and discard those. Shouldn't even need regex then, just strpos()

So does that only work for the start of a line?

Because the log looks like this...

So I'd need it to only pick lines that contain "[INFO] <"
