Boost.Log uses boost::shared_ptr, not std::shared_ptr.

The quoted code sample in the linked blog page is indeed missing 
template arguments in a few places. The original code on GitHub 
(https://github.com/gklingler/simpleLogger) seems to be better, although 
I didn't try to compile it. I guess, some parts got lost in the blog due 
to missing HTML escaping.
