[Orca-users] Is ORCA/RRD the right tool?

Requirement is to plot against time readings taken MANUALLY at 
differing times. (Approximately 2x/day - eventually there will be 
remote data capture via SNMP - in about 2-4 months).

I am currently capturing data via CGI/Forms and saving to text files, 
but not (yet) even as delimited data.

I can reformat my data into delimited, and move forward that way.

I'm looking for a quick, eaasy way to plot this ... seems like maybe 
ORCA/RRD is good, but ... maybe not ... everything I see in RRD and 
ORCA looks like things need to be at very consistent, reliable time 
intervals but this isn't. Data (reformatted, might look like this).

(there's more, but that's the idea ...)

Can I do this with Orca?
