I am curious about why you decided to use the timestamp as a prefix
instead of a suffix on logfiles.  I think I prefer it as a suffix since
it naturally sorts and works nicely with using the TAB key to type file
names in bash.   I can understand that you sometimes might want to sort
by timestamp, but "ls -t" will do that.
