Convert dmesg timestamp to custom date format

[NickTheGreek 160]

dmesg_with_human_timestamps () {
    FORMAT="%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y"

    now=$(date +%s)
    cputime_line=$(grep -m1 "\.clock" /proc/sched_debug)

    if [[ $cputime_line =~ [^0-9]*([0-9]*).* ]]; then
        cputime=$((BASH_REMATCH[1] / 1000))

I use this code. Pretty nice

Have you thought about formatting it in colors as dmesg is formatted now?
