When I started my codebase a piece of nice tech was support for a logging console that could use tabs to talk to multiple running programs, connect over tcp, display not just log text but _graphics_, support animation etc. So I made a basic QT based logging terminal with these features. I'm just going to toss it. With the ability now to display graphics including real time animation in the terminal, with tabs and splits, it seems un-needed. And it can work in an emacs window too.
