instances of the same code to generate a time entry in
  raw or localtime format;
 
+ create functions check_post() and check_start() to check whether
  a record has been already posted or started, replacing
  several duplicated instances of the same code;
 
+ localize some variables;
 
+ normalize some for() loops

Especially the former two changes should make the code a lot
more consistent and easier to read.
