Uberlog is a project by Felix Farquharson and Sam Cater, it’s a personal journal/logging application. And is not fully complete. It has the basic functionality and it works without a GUI (see the trunk version). A GUI is nearing completion and should be done after a good couple of hours work (see lp:uberlog/gui).
This project is primarily to make sure Sam and me are set up for IRME (a new take on IRC, that will hopefully make it more accessable by using an Instant Messenger style frontend) which is a project we are planning to start after this is finished.
Currently all code has to be checked out from the bzr repository.
Recently, over JOTA/JOTI, see gb2irs.dontclickonme.com, Colin (TheBoff) had been writing an amateur radio logbook. When back home, I decided I had nothing to do, so re-wrote the same thing from scratch, and added/changed stuff.
It would be the perfect thing to have running where there are lots of operators, it keeps all the entries together, and easily accessable.
For the origonal, speak to TheBoff, i’m not sure where the best place to look is, but you might find him on freenode.
For my version, I placed it on launchpad: http://launchpad.net/amlog, At the moment it’s difficult to set up and fairly customised to my personal setup, but this will change in the future.
Basic features so far are:
- Limited user support, limited access etc, only those logged in can post.
- Public view function, you can view the log without being logged in.
- Input validation, returns fields as they were with invalid input, above them.
- Admin interface (comes with Django, along with some other useful features), provides editing of entries.
TODO (ie. Coming soon if anyone can be bothered…):
- Auto fill of time and date fields, but the will have the ability to be changed.
- Auto fill of the current operator, based on their username.
- Config option, to allow public addition to the log, (assuming you trust everyone on your local network)
- Backup ability, the ability to download the log as a CSV (to be imported into Excel or similar).
- The ability to add to the Logbook from uploaded CSV files.
