[IRCA] Log Book usage etc



Hi All,
It's me with another corny comment and question, hi.  I was up-dating my log this morning and I was just wondering how everyone else does their logs these days???  My process goes back to the beginning of when I started listening in the 70's and even though it works satisfactorily, I'm sure it has some room for improvement.  At least I can save it now instead of typing each sheet manually, whew!
 
This is how I do it.
1.) Scribble my notes on notebook paper. At the end of a 'session' I may end up with one note or several pages of insanity, some of which may be cleaned up and sent to the "Round-Up" columns later.
 
2.) Decipher and transfer (in writing), brief but important info. to my previously printed-out log. Usually re-log dates heard and/or programming changes and occasionally new stations. I do this while still listening.
 
3.) Periodically, when my print-out get's to full of written notes, or it gets too obnoxious, I then transfer my notes from the log to the PC and print out a fresh copy.
 
I currently use MS Word and have it divided up with rows and columns, but eventually I'd like to switch it all over to an Excel spreadsheet for obvious reasons. (sorting at will). I've messed with switching it over a couple of times, but I just cant seem to understand how to get the lay-out, the way I'd like it. 
 
This topic is about as basic as it gets, but I'm curious about how others might be doing it.
73- Doug
