:-) I realised that. It's what I'd have to do to get the clean installation
to a fully working sumppi that I was referring to.

The actual software that is monitoring the levels does that, but we want the
logs so we can see what went wrong and when. For example the electrics at the
WMT are sadly in need of an overhaul and the power trips from time to time.
It's useful to known when this happens, especially since the Pi features a
fake hwclock which picks up from where it left off, which is useful, but
confusing in these circumstances. Probably more relevant to normal ops is
knowing that the Butts pump cut out at the right time; when the butts were
nearly full.
