Comment (by atagar):

 Just quick food for thought that this will limit you a bit in adding
 additional fields. When you look at parsing...

 {{{
 $0C9B3C686421C5A8C20BAA0D7369CD929F43A174 unusable 2015-01-23 16:41:42
 }}}

 ... verses...

 {{{
 $E3F98C86C9E01138DD8EA06B1E660A0CDB4B2782~Finisterre up
 }}}

 The first has four space separated entries and the later two. This is fine
 for now but it means that if we want to add a new field to the end in the
 future...

 {{{
 $0C9B3C686421C5A8C20BAA0D7369CD929F43A174 unusable 2015-01-23 16:41:42
 stegosaurus
 $E3F98C86C9E01138DD8EA06B1E660A0CDB4B2782~Finisterre up triceratops
 }}}

 ... parsers will have a hassle with this optional date.
