Parental Controls logs pretty useless for viewing

Question

Here's a very simple use case where the "logs" feature fails miserably:
We give our daughter complete access to the internet, but occasionally - usually when the homework she does takes 2-3 times longer than it should - we want to check the logs to see whether her online time is actually spent at homework-related sites.  Last night she didn't go to bed 'til midnight, so today I wanted to check which web sites she visited between 10pm and midnight.  Simple enough, right?  Not with Mac OSX's half-baked log feature
I go into Parental Controls and click on the Logs and proceed to "Web Sites Visited".  I am greeted with "Show activity for: One week" and "Group by: Website" followed by a list of web sites that have been visited in the last week.
Problem 1: Since "Yesterday" isn't an option, I have to slog through logs for a whole week.  Worse yet, since the grouping by website doesn't give any date information whatsoever at the top level, I'd have to individually open the hundreds of sites she's visited in the last week, just to find the ones she went to last night.  Obviously not feasible.  So, I change the Group-by to "Date" and - conveniently, there's a "Yesterday" drop-down.  Cool!  Well, maybe not:
Problem 2: When categorizing by Date and you drill down on "Yesterday", it shows all the web sites visited yesterday, but since the log window is too narrow and isn't resizable, you can't even see the full URL, much less any timestamp there might be appended to the web site URL.
Now what kind of asinine implementation is this?  Did Apple actualy pay a developer to produce such an horrendous interface?  Worse yet, Apple hasn't seen it fit to fix this mess in several releases now.  I just upgraded to 10.8.3 and it's the same useless garbage.
I searched on the net to see if there's some other way to view this information (the access data is stored in a file called events.data in /Library/Application\ Support/....) and came across a suggestion to load a Firefox extension for SQLLite and view that file through it.  I actually got that working, but the dates given in this database weren't meant for humon consumption - they're just numbers.  So I did a reverse sort on that column and, voila, I see my daughter's most recent accesses....except I don't know where to stop reading, since I'm only interested in most-recent to 10pm last night.  But isn't it pathetic that I have to jump through all these hoops - just because some amateur developer at Apple hasn't seen it fit to allow horizontal resizing of the window - or at least a horizontal scroll bar?  Worse yet, that Apple hasn't done a thing about it since at least Snow Leopard?  So frustrating - since it would be such an easy fix.
Finally to my question: does anyone know of a way to view this log that doesn't require extensive knowledge of the system, SQL, etc. - like a graphical tool built into Mac OSX?

Answer 1

I have the exact same question and issue. When I check to see all the apps he's used in the last year, it comes up blank in the logs. All I get in the logs is rejected websites ending in late January.
Does anyone know where the logs are stored? My other kids' logs are working just fine which is the real puzzler.
