I'm pretty sure that at 17:28 I unplugged my USB mouse to test
something, as I have a corresponding irclog entry from around the same
time that relates to it.  I didn't discover the breakage until much
later when I tried to suspend the system before going to bed.  I
probably plugged the mouse back in again at 17:30, the creation times
shown below for event1 and event2.
