Update: SimpleLog is no longer online (as of September 2019), it might come back one day.
Simple Log is designed to be a very simple logging application for Radio Armatures, be they new to the hobby, or not interested in recording every last detail of every contact they have.
Cheltenham Amateur Radio Association held their annual constructors context and exhibit last week and I entered Simple Log in the new "Software / Computer related" category.
Reaction was mixed, most people seemed positive, although a fair number of questions related to the pico-projector I was using to throw my screen onto the wall!
I was accused of "reinventing the wheel" a few times, but that is kinda the point, I don't think the current offering of logging applications is very good, and at least isn't suitable for what I want.
However, I did find at least one new bug to squash! In the end however, I was awarded the G0UPU cup, despite/because of being the only entry in the category (although I was assured I did deserve it.)
It was great to show off, and get recognition for, my work, and I'm hoping my entry will inspire more people to enter next year. If you've not tried it yet, go have a play! (don't, it's not online now.)
