Is there a Mac version of something like VMGs' Captains Log? Looks like an interesting way to keep track of things.

Thanks for your interest and question.
Captn's Log for Windows XP is developed using C# for .NET. As such it should in theory run on any machine that supports the .NET framework. I am not a Mac user and have never developed for the Mac so it is unlikely that I will port the program to that platform using native Mac tools. However if you are knowledgeable and adventurous there appears to be a .Net runtime available for the Mac OSX through the "Mono" project, but I am not sure how stable or popular it is, and in order for Captn's Log to be run there I would have to re-spin a version that didn't rely on the registry for it bootstrap information. Let me know how committed you are to trying that approach and I will investigate what it would take to build a version that *MIGHT* work. For now the easiest and best way to run Captn's Log on a Mac is by running it under a Windows emulator such as paralls.
