I’ve been using RufzXP to work on my Morse Code speed over the past few months. It’s a good way to kill ~10 minutes while eating lunch or sitting on a plane. When I looked at the report showing my scores (and max CW speed), I wondered how I was doing overall. So, being the [...]
The blizzard here in central Iowa has left me some free time for programming. DXpedition Map The first in line for an update was the DXpedition map. For some reason, this drew the attention of some lids http://www.eham.net/links/rating/10338 who took the opportunity to bash the page. Either they: haven’t figured out what the page was [...]
Well it took a bit of creativity, but I was able to resolve the issue with Propstats. The scripts that run in the background should now require much less CPU by my webhost. I learned a few php tricks along the way that may be of use in the future. PropagationStats should again be fully [...]
My ISP (icdsoft) has disabled the php script that drove Propstats. So, for the time being, the propagation statistics are not going to be displayed via Propstats. Apparently, so many folks were using it that the php was consuming a lot of CPU behind the scenes (every time a page was loaded that displayed propstats [...]
After a long time without updates, I have finally found time to post. I had decided to not post to the blog until MobileLog 2 was released. Well, in the past month, I have spent many hours updating MobileLog 2, Propfire and the website. In December I had made a week long trip to Manila. [...]
I had a business trip this week to Connecticut. Extra time sitting in airports gave me a chance to make some more progress on MobileLog. In this latest version, I now have a search feature implemented (an improvement over the original MobileLog 1.X version I think), DXCC country data (indicates if the QSO is a [...]
MobileLog 2 continues to make progress. Here is a screenshot taken this afternoon from my Cingular 8120. This is the QSO entry screen to the ham radio logbook. Basic data entry functions are enabled (navigation buttons, clear, delete, add, update, …). Also allows exporting the database to a CSV file. More to come. .
A few updates at NØHR.com. I’ve created a few Windows Mobile 5 (Smartphone) ham radio themes. Like my PocketPC PDA Ham Radio Themes, they’re free for the taking. My ham radio product review section has been enhanced to provide recent reviews to my popular ham radio links page. I did that to encourage more folks [...]
I’ve really started to spend a bit more time in the past few days on the next generation of MobileLog. For the longest time, I was debating the effort required to try to “port” MobileLog 1.X (for PocketPC PDAs) to the new OS and platform, but Microsoft’s changes in Windows Mobile 5 have become insurmountable. [...]
