GLUG: when did it went down ?

[benico <benicovdw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

uptime: no (It stayed off untill I put it on again).
crond: (wasn't running then - it is now) 
syslog: I couldn't find any usefull activity in /var/log/* 

Let me explain the situation in more detail:
I logged out at 00h24:??
somewhere in between then and 16h00 that afternoon ...
little two year old fingers pushed some buttons ...
( a normal procedure followed on keybord buttons & all
other sorts of buttons too )
and I was just curious to know if the OS knew the time it was
severed from its power supply :-)

Ive put in /etc/cron.5min/foobar a 
date >> /var/log/lastime
with
date > /var/log/lastime
in /etc/cron.daily/foobar (to keep things to size)

but this seems so ... crude ?
