Thank you. :) If you have any questions, feel free to hop on Freenode #riemann and I'll do my best to help out.
BTW, you're not the first to wonder about streaming events directly to Riemann from client browsers. I... don't recommend it, just because I don't have the time to appropriately guarantee Riemann's performance and security characteristics as an internet-facing service (yet), but adding an HTTP POST path to (ws-server) is definitely on my list. Even if the HTTP+JSON interface is much slower than the TCP/UDP interfaces, I think it'll be plenty useful for many deployments, especially those making requests from JS.
