Well, it's been almost two years since I promised to do this (http://www.arboristsite.com/showthread.php?threadid=4177), but I've followed through and developed a log calculator for handheld computers. As I was finishing, I heard Arbormaster came up with their own, but I'm still happy to have finished this.
It's for free. It's easy to use. Just download and put on your Pocket PC and open with Pocket Excel. It works on desktop computers too that run Excel or a compatible spreadsheet program.
To use it, just enter the tree species ID number from the second sheet, enter the log length and diameter, and the formula spits out the weight in pounds. If you want it in kilos, that's easily changed....but you can do that yourself.
Are there any other programs that I should work on? In the past week, I've written an extensive database program that allows someone to enter in a day's work (customer, crew, arrival/departure, travel/prep time, unbillable time, work performed, material and equipment used, etc.) and have reports printed easily, ready to send to the customer with a bill or show to the bank.
If my dad asks me to (and he has), I can show him every hour and instance where someone was shoveling, pruning, salting, blowing, mowing, raking, etc. I can display the number of hours X employee has spent traveling and preparing. It's really awesome what databases can do!
Anyways, I'm working on a lot of new stuff now, especially for handheld computers, and I'd love to get input on what industry people would like to see and use.
