Remember - I am for quite a while in this business. Have you ever wondered why I took up that work on logging. Which, btw, was perceived as "pretty boring" on those days without real cyber attacks. I took the time to record one of my usual and "highest-quality" videos to tell you the story of how WinSyslog and rsyslog were born. I hope you enjoy.

As as side-benefit, you may also get the glimpse of an idea of why my tools so often get straight to the point.
