Saying that I was some kind of prodigy because - out of the million or so EQ players - I was the only one with the insight or talent to do this is flattering but very likely inaccurate.

I didn't make that statement. I did respond to the other poster pointing out that only one guy had made a statement that he created such a program to use. Others have said programs or the ability was there but none except for you has stepped forward to claim they in fact did make them and use them.

Yes, it started as a way for me to manage my mezzes and it did that accurately. There were occasional lockups, but I blame that on the shity state of java and swing at the time and not on any kind of log issue.
Edit: thinking back on it, it's probably not fair to blame the occasional issue on java, more my shity skills at the time.

I was one of those guys who had a really crappy log reader setup. Two computers, a shared directory, and my really shity attempt at programming something in Java Swing.
And I just remembered... I got some help from the guys at work and one of them started playing EverQuest as a result.

Which server did you play on and what kind of computer was the second one that you used to display the information?
How did you use this and how did it help you to manage your mezzes? I ask because playing the game was keeping a mental track of them. The game itself didn't provide the information for the player, if that was the intention then it would have been displayed by the developers. The game didn't have this information displayed so it was up to the player to remember.
