Squeak 17 #1 October 7, 2002 Does anyone know off any freeware or macros that i could use for a digtal log book. I have been SCUBA diving for over 20 years and and have all my dices logged on my PC, but I had to retropectivley logg a whole bunch of them, using a dive computers software. I'd like to do the same for my skydives, but this time start with a digital book instead of entering a bucket load of data later on.You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS!

Squeak 17 #3 October 7, 2002 yeah I'm certain it would, also matbe acess, but I'm not certain how to build macros or tmeplates. If someone has already done that, I'd prefer not to re-invent the wheelYou are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing?

kurtvdpoel 0 #5 October 7, 2002 I have been thinking of programming an electronic logbook for over a year now. This year I would like to complete this program. I will use Java and a build-in database. Maybe I can send you a copy when I'm finished. What features would you like? I will include jumpnr, date, , height, aircraft-type, type of jump, equipment used, comments, price, landing distance... Reporst should also be possible. Number of jumps each month/year, number of jumps/type, number of jumps/aircraft... Kurt Van de Poel Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jfields 0 #6 October 7, 2002 If you are at all decent with web design and some rudimentary database design, it isn't too hard. I slapped mine together pretty quickly. Now I just enter the jumps and the computer does all the math. Then it can be searched and sorted a variety of ways. http://www.jennandjustin.com/skydive-jumplog.asp Also check here: http://skydivelogbook.sourceforge.net/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mjasantos 0 #7 October 7, 2002 Hi, It's true the wheel has already been invented... if you own or can afford to have one Pro-Track altimeter device (http://www.l-and-b.dk/protrack.htm) with Jump-Track software (http://www.l-and-b.dk/jumptrack.htm, you'll get all those features inherent to a jump logbook and many other additional, including rig track information, etc.. I've got these and I can tell you that it's awesome!!!

kurtvdpoel 0 #8 October 7, 2002 You're absolutely right but I want to make a standalone application. Not a 'web logbook'. Yours looks quite interesting. Kurt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kurtvdpoel 0 #9 October 7, 2002 I had already downloaded the demo from their website but there are a few things I would like to change. For instance I don't like the way Jumptrack displays the statistics about jumps. I would prefer a column or bar chart for that. By the way I don't like to spend > $ 150 (Protrack instead of Prodytter + Jumptrack software) of good jumping money on something I can make myself and maybe even better to my personal needs.

vidiot 0 #10 October 9, 2002 Squeak, there is a very nice and affordable logbook for the Palm available at www.vorpalware.com. A desktop component, which can be used standalone, is currently being developed and should be demoed at the PIA symposium.
