Changes to architecture

• Logger history data structure has been kept as is.
• Logger will only run one speed test at a time
• Logger will only send whole test history on first connect.
• Added partial data sending functionality to server.js

Getting started

• Switch to branch 'master'
• Install npm packages (same as forked project): npm install .
• Run node logger/logger.js and npm start
• Navigate to http://localhost:3000
• Wait for logger data if you have none
• Leave it running for a minimum of 30 mins to see the graph propely

Testing

• A demo with random data is running on http://bl4ze.herokuapp.com or you can checkout the demo branch.
• Select a time period in the graph to zoom in on it
• Display ping data in the graph by clicking the disabled Ping label at the bottom
