Right, my bad.

It's a log. It contains lines with number (I presume process id), date,
type (DEBUG mostly, some INFO), namespace (zeitgeist.storagemonitor,
.engine etc.) dash, and log message.

Otherwise, 7, 8, 9.

By showing 11 programs that use log files that are not syslog I've
proved your point? Nice talking to you :)
