We cannot stick in a battery as there is not enough space
in the housing of the print (to be exact, we don't have enough
height).
I already thought about storing the last known time somewhere
in the flash. But unfortunately the device can be unplugged
suddenly w/o correct shutdown (actualy this is the normal case).
The only way around this i could came up with was to periodically
store the current time. But this is then a trade off between
jump back period length and how long the flash will last the
continous writes, with no sweet spot that looks good.
