Curt, is this what the voices in your head are suggesting you to do? Or
is it the neighbors dog? ;^)

Seriously, the problem would be how to log all the actions that take
place *before* you have a network connection established (stack & all)?
ANd what if you run the system without access to an NTP server? WHat
will the log use for current time, will it just start at the epoch?
