## View collected data

I actually use "[DB Browser for SQLite](https://sqlitebrowser.org/)" for taking a look at the 
data uplink is collecting.

There will be a Gtk+ frontend to uplink at some time but this project is at a very early 
stage of development, so I want to write the collector firt. Even support for other SQL 
databases is planned in conjunction with the Gtk+ frontend. I use sqlite3 only because I 
can move fast-forward.
