Logging the burns is complicated by the proposed setup this year, which
has the database residing on a network file share with the images.
Multiple processes attempting to write to an SQLite database when it is
stored on a network file system is a known bad situation. File locking
via network file systems is not reliable and collisions, with attendant
database corruption, are entirely possible. I would need to change the
database backend to get around this, and that isn't trivial to do.
