time stamping new lines in vim?

[Lonni J Friedman]

Anyone know of a way to get vim to automatically insert a time (and
optionally date) stamp at the start of every new line?

The closest I've found is a bunch of tips on how to manually insert a
time stamp via some sort of key stroke:
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/VimTip97

But I want something automated.

thanks
