As for the computer time switching, I am aware of the issues, it's a stand-alone linux box, I've found elog to be surprisingly tolerant, everything's backed up. The introduction of a 'When' attribute had better be on new logbooks or introduced at end of year (esp during quiet time) so that existing books don't fail to find what I'm looking for in searches.

Yes, adding a new attribute in a logbook is not straight forward.
But it is doable: that is one of the things that I write SED scripts for. You just need to add the attribute in all old entries, and in this specific case you can use the entry time to initialise the "when" attribute.
Of course I would only do that on a copy of my data and run a separate elogd server on that data to see if anything is screwed up :-)
Cheers
