Reading the 1.0 release notes for Firefox proved to be extremely usefull for me. One feature I have missed in Firefox, is to force a new tab instead of a new window when clicking links that open new windows.

Guess what, it's there in 1.0, only hidden.
To enable the options set browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs to true in about:config.

The last weeks I have used many hours working on my good old server Ingelin, my HTTP (this page among others), POP3, SMTP, FTP, CVS server.
Some years ago, when I first installed it I wrote a simple PHP script that executed a series of commands to burn a CD-RW with critical data. Some days ago i figured I had to rewrite it, in order for it to suit my needs:


< ?php
// let's get on with this.. :o
$DIR['tmp']="/usr/backup_tmp";
$DIR['backup']="/usr/backup";

$targets=array(
'apache_config' => "/usr/local/etc/apache",
);

/**
* Make nice archives
*/

Well since the "success" with x-stat I have always been thinking about another webtraffic analyser tool. And some days ago, a Norwegian company contacted me regarding an IIS log analyzer. This made me thinking(doH!). I'm kinda finishing up on a project for a ISP, and I will probably have some spare time in the near feature.

So this is my thoughts:
- Module based log-parser, can parse multiple log-formats (common, iis, w3c...)
- On the fly parsing
- Saving some history into own database (YAML?)
- XHTML/CSS based layout
