I'm looking for programs that might help with maintaining a log, as in a ship's log or a log of maintenance activity on a vehicle.
It's well nigh impossible to use the word log in the search because one is immediately swamped by hits relating to computer logging, e.g. things which write to syslog.
The word journal isn't much better because it too has computer related meanings which swamp any useful output and, anyway, journal isn't quite the right word for what I'm looking for.
So does anyone have any bright ideas either for what to search for or programs that I might find useful.
Chris, I'm surprised at you!
I just Googled: [ "ship's log" software ] and found loads.
Hmm, I didn't try exactly that before but I'm sure I tried something like it. However I just tried what you suggested and while there are lots of hits when you follow them they're mostly not what one is looking for.
I am looking at the results but nothing useful has turned up so far. Thanks anyway and I'll come back and say thank you again if something useful does turn up down that road.
