Chainsaw - Parses a log file and returns lines matching the time period provided

  I'm a little puzzled by the naming conventions nowadays. Chainsaw for intelligent log file segmenting? Moustache for templating? On the other hand - we're far gone from readr, twittr, searchr.

    Nowadays? Apache Chainsaw[1] dates back at least to 2004[2]... Speaking of which, I wonder how/why the dev chose the name "Chainsaw"? Did he not take the 5min. to Google his project's name before he named it? What are the odds that the dev formulated the same name for this type of tool? From looking at both sources, it doesn't appear that code was lifted, although it's possible this new version is some sort of port. Regardless, I'll probably try it out, considering that I could never get the one from Apache to work... 1. http://logging.apache.org/chainsaw/ http://logging.apache.org/chainsaw/ 2. https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?component=chainsaw&product=Log4j&query_format=advanced&resolution=---&order=changeddate%2Cbug_status%2Cpriority%2Cassigned_to%2Cbug_id&query_based_on= https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?component=cha...

    Well, if you think of it a 'chainsaw' is a tool to 'segment logs' (the wooden ones) so the name kind of translates. Now, no idea where "Moustache" came from.
