So I am extremely grateful that there are smart people like you guys out there to program things like this for us techno-challenged people. My favorite tech question is "is there an app for that?" because syncing is as techie as I get    Which is one reason I like making cheese so much, all you need is a lactating critter (you can milk anything with nipples Fauker) and a container.

I am looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with!!!

Outstanding project MM!

Wish I had the know how to program something like that...best I could do would be an excel file with macros.

Thanks. I have been meaning to sit down and write this program for a couple of years now, it has been a while since I have built a graphical user interface so its been kind of nice.

Well, I'm excited to see it when it's "done"...or at least, ready to be tried out.

Yeah, me too I'll be honest, it's still a ways out but coming along.

Alright, this is a repost after posting an image that was way too small to see anything. Attached is a screen shot of the main recipe index page. As you can see its still pretty crude (I was working on this last night and kind of broke the geometry manager code- that is why half of the recipe is behind the tree). At least you guys can start to see what I am thinking here (plus this is proof that I am actually writing this program and not just making random stuff up)

[Edit] Lol! Wow, I just looked at that recipe there. Either I can't type worth anything or I did a number on the recipe step object last night! Please excuse the weird typos (I warned you it was crude)

i simply write keynotes on evernote from cheesemaking  and do pics for date time retrieval ( in case i missed out on that)...because i use smartphone , tablet and other 3 pc's i find evernote excellent for crossplatforms...of course they have a evernote food too, but i just use the regular evernote and whatever i write on one device synchronizes on all other devices in the same network ...here the link http://evernote.com/

Oh wow..
MM, fun to see your progress.

I am working on a web based program currently with an emphasis on being simple and easy to use.
I'll start a new thread on that.

Nice, what language(s)? What kind of web-based program?

PHP is the language of choice, using the Yii framework in order to save on development time.
The program will be a user based web client initially.

I've been writing all of the cheese recipes I have into Excel, so I can track the process and requirements before I embark on some of them.

For example, I don't want to buy a bunch of molds for brie if I have a bunch of cheddars aging in the fridge.

Also, I'm interested in what makes one cheese different than another; once I know that, I can tweak certain parts to see what happens.  I'm very much a numbers guy (and former programmer) so this is how I think...

As long as you are asking, maybe some way to share a recipe with others? I'm thinking generate a PDF w/pics, text dump of the recipe suitable for posting and maybe an XML export of the recipe to let others import it into their library (keeping appropriate accolades of course).

How about some code/config to use the webnets for storage (besides local)? Could be on your server or sqlite hosting elsewhere - so that the client could be used on any platform and they all see the same db. My desktop is too far away from the cheese room but our new ipad would be handy there. I could read the recipes, rough in the make and add photos and maybe do final editing later on the PC. For something that feature rich I wouldn't mind forking over some cheese... err coin.

These are planned features in the Cheese Forge (I'm working on getting it ready) - online software made for desktops and handhelds.

Would be great if the program could save recipes templates so you could save the timings for each cheese you make so next time you can just load up the cheddar or what ever profile you made last time and it updates all the timings for you in one go

I have a soap program that does exactly that. Is also set up so that you can add a supplier list, Ingredients, Ability to add folders, recipes, shopping list, and stuff like that so you can keep track of your expenses. It is called soap maker.
