  # TODO: Why is this needed? Does this happen if running standalone w/o Rails?
  # Anyway, isn't it easier to debug w/o the really long timestamp & log level?
  # How often do you look at the timestamp and log level? Wouldn't it be nice to
  # see your logger output first?
  
  # Extension of the base ruby Logger class to restore the default log
  # level and timestamp formatting which is so rudely taken forcibly
  # away from us by the Rails app's use of the ActiveSupport library
  # that wholesale-ly modifies the Logger's format_message method.

        # restore original log formatting to un-screw the screwage that is
        # foisted upon us by the activesupport library's clean_logger.rb
        alias format_message old_format_message

      rescue NameError
        # nothing for now -- this means we didn't need to alias since the
        # method wasn't overridden
