use time.time() instead of datetime's #28

For the event timestamps to be unambiguous regardless of timezone settings in the Pi system.

I think we should create the time on the pi in UNIX time but then store a date time (made from this UNIX time) in the local sql database. This way loading and querying locally is easy and the transmitted data contains the UNIX time. We should integrate some of the tools I sent on slack (probably clean them up) to transparently translate timestamps.

Sure. Right now everything is just a float from time.time(). I'm going to finish the basic code before adding buffering and timestamps to server, so I'll integrate your tools at that point. Thanks for the input!
