Reformatting log timestamp to include time-zone
The time logged is currently given as localtime without any timezone information. This is confusing in various scenarios. Examples: * If one is travelling across time-zones and the timestamps in the log appear out of order. * Comparing dates with `datediff` gives an offset by the time-zone This patch would reformat the time-stamp to a full ISO-8601 version. It includes the 'T' separating date and time including seconds.
