Jarad,

I presume this is a single file tiddlywiki. Are you serving it or opening 
the file in the browser?

Unix is not my natural home. If your logged content is in a file where the 
tiddlywiki is installed have you tried using the html object tag in a 
tiddler?

<object width="400" height="400" data="helloworld.txt"></object> 

I tested this and it retrieves the content of helloworld.txt in both file 
and TiddlyServer served wikis.

However you need to refresh the tiddler to see updates (eg edit/View, 
Close/open the tiddler.

Regards
Tony
