Thank you to everyone who responded.

OK, thanks - I'm mulling this one over. I believe this refers to computer entries, as opposed to anything being written down, at least in the second example that would make sense.

log

Simply means to record information so it can be consulted by others. Used in information science: http://www.01net.com/article/191567.html

Log is neutral, in that the information can be recorded in any form - even if the origin was written, ie a log book.
