Tailinator – a log file monitor for Windows

Yes, Tailinator, not Mailinator. It’s weird how things happen. I went to news.google.com and searched for mailinator. It said “Did you mean: tailinator ?”. I clicked it – wondering what tailinator is and it gave NO results which I thought was weird – why would it suggest it if it gave zero hits? So I Searched Google for tailinator and it turns out it is a really good freeware log file tailer for Windows! I need one of those!

I played with it a bit today and it works great! It’s basic, but does the job nicely – it can open mutiple files in tabs, flashes when a file has changed, you can choose to load the whole file or just the last X bytes, and it can autoload a log or logs at startup. Tailinator seems to have no website listed in it and I can’t find its “home on the web”, but you can find it if you just search google for tailinator. So, a search for Mailinator gets me a log monitoring utility called Tailinator.
