Back in 1999 I worked at a company as IT manager, and the CIO had me parsing logs every morning. On paper. On a line-type printer. We fed the logs directly to the printer in real-time because he was concerned if a system had been hacked that they would fuss with the logs and he wanted a physical print out in real time to thwart any efforts to munge the logs post hack. Highlight any potential threats with an actual highlighter.

This sucked.

However, it really taught me how to skim logs for threats in the physical form super fast...
