Happy New Years – Well for FPS

Remember that July 1 is the first day of the new year for The Forest Projection and Planning System (FPS). This means anything measured this year before today is assigned a year of last year for its measurement. Today ALL growth is considered to have happened and it is year end of the current calendar year.

New Software Screenshots

In cooperation with The Natural Biometrician, the penguins around the shop here have been working on redesigning the FPS database developed by The Forest Biometrics Research Institute.  Many times the developers have made the announcement that the FPS database is just an example and users are expected to customize it to fit their needs.  The FSD Office Penguins are well on the way to making that a reality with straightforward updates, navigation menus, and functions.  Check out some of the initial screenshots at The Natural Biometrician and tell us what you think.  Want to use the interface for something else.  Go for it.  It is flexible enough to handle just about any MS Access database type of model.

Oh ya, the downside is the cost.  FREE!!!!  Yes, that is right we are giving it away as we should.  Currently settling on the license before releasing in mid-November 2017.  To protect the USER, we are actively considering GPLv3.  Open Source!  That doesn’t mean we would turn down contributions if you feel that it is worth the development.

Solar Eclipse 2017

Ok seriously you think that on a day where the entire United States will be able to see some form of eclipse the office penguins will be in the office.  NEVER!!!  Viva la penguins! The office is packed up and will be in the center line of totality.  Where will you be?  We will post after the event.

If you are just seeing this it may be too late but for more information visit:
