cameramonkey 0 #1 September 5, 2001 Ever sit there needing to total up your freefall time, and just pull your hair out trying to do it in your head? I did till I found a GREAT tool. Its designed to calculate time sheets, but when you set it for hh:mm:ss (it defaults to only hh:mm) you can key in those repetetive 73 second skydives and it tallies them in a heartbeat. I was able to update about 100 jumps worth of FF total time in about 10 mins. Would have taken me ALOT longer if I tried to do it in my head. Hey, i'm a skydiver, not an accountant. Yeah, I know the pro trac and electronic logs do it all for you automagically, but not all of us have gotten away from paper logs. This is a great tool that I recommend... Hell, I even registered my copy. its only 3/4 of a jump :). ($15)http://home.nycap.rr.com/aotw/timecalc.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
apoil 0 #2 September 6, 2001 You know, excel and any other decent spreadsheet can do time calculations?Makes a halfway decent online log book as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cameramonkey 0 #3 September 6, 2001 god luck getting it to do the calcs easy without adding the colons and such. Just try keying the following sequence and see what happens in excel... " 70+ 73+65+54+45...etc" doesnt quite work as well.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cameramonkey 0 #5 September 6, 2001 I started to use that, but already have it all logged on paper. I didnt wanna retype EVERYTHING, as all I needed was about 150 dives' time totaled Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cameramonkey 0 #7 September 7, 2001 dont get so snooty....I could get it to format right, but couldnt enter them just in two digit seconds... always had to key in the full number, with all the zeros and colons. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
