A log store with a search box is a library with no catalogue: everything is there, and you have to know the title.

Libraries without a catalogue do exist. They are called attics, and the things in them are found mainly while looking for something else.

Logs are a lot like the universe: vast, mostly empty, and every so often something in them is on
fire.

Perl on a Cray Y-MP EL

Compiling Perl on a Cray is not an easy task, if you only have a few hours every Tuesday. And taking a Cray home, even the little Y-MP EL, is not an option. Neither is letting it run unattended.
