Developed my ME, for ME, with only ME in mind.
Well, not really, but it was my initial thought when starting development of my latest project RADLogger. After reviewing many ham radio logging programs, and honestly not liking most of them for various reasons, it became obvious that I should simply write my own amateur radio logging program. After spending several months thinking and experimenting with different data storage engines, I had the honest thought that just maybe others might want to use this.
However, I couldn't let that drive my development and design. Thinking, "how would others like this," just clouded my thinking. Maintaining the "how would I like this," mind-set removes a lot of ambiguity in my development process. Do I want this button? Do I think this import process is cumbersome? Do I think this copy/paste feature will be helpful? Developing a program just for me makes the process easier.
For those interested in the development progress and feature list of RADLogger, simply browse over to www.ruralruins.com/w/blog/ . For now, that is where my development notes will reside. In the future, perhaps, I will have a dedicated page just for my ham radio interests.
