always-on-top

I want to have custom text printed on my screen always on top. I tried rainmeter software and i could not find option to load text from file on my system or in any other way.

What i want to have is software that prints on top of all windows and scan file every seconds to print latest changes.

P.S. the idea would be to have my live PHP website error log printed on my screen every second or as new entres appear.
