Curious, George: E-mail appointment book. I need a dayplanner, but I'm often not at home or office, or not on my usual computer. The only thing that's predictable is that I'm on E-mail every morning. Is there a reliable E-mail-based calendar "service" where I can maintain my schedules with a Web interface? My obligations could be E-mailed to me every morning. That would rock!
Yahoo will do that. Just go to calendar options and select a destination for your daily view.
I used to use My Yahoo, like monju_bosatsu says. You can have your address book, calendar, news headlines, horoscope, you-name-it on one page. I never felt entirely comfortable using the online address book, but the other features don't suck. You can also upload new information from your cellphone/PDA if you have one.
I echo the above. Yahoo's My Yahoo accounts are the most comprehensive personalized accounts that I know of. And it hardly ever goes down.
i wish my life were so exciting as to necessitate a dayplanner.
as it is, my planner would read:
- go to work.
- work.
- go home.
with the additional "go out and have fun" line on weekends. heh.
Sidedish has it better than me as I work at home.
-Get up
-work? maybe. maybe not.
-have a drink? sure why not?
-work? fuck off eh and get me some smokes!
-fall down in front yard to the eternal amusement of the neighbours.
-go to bed.
see? no need for a calendar at all. just a nice, soft spot in the front yard!
damnitkage:
Can you make a profit at this? If so, email me ASAP. I want to take a course on how to become a millionaire with little or no start-up.
This could be the job for me!
That schedule is for trust fund brats, not for millionaires.
Dang timmus, I was just kidding. it reads more like this:
6:00 a.m. - work on site for some idiot client who sent about 157 emails at 10:00 p.m. for some copywriting that has, just has to be done by 9:30
9:00 - Look up and realize the sun is up. Cuss, get more coffee and sit back down.
2:00 Open a can of corn, sit back down at computer.
7:00 Join family for dinner. Get back to computer.
3:00a.m. fall asleep on keyboard and produce best thing you've done all day.
Exagerating a bit, but not that much. Would that I was a trust fund brat. Then maybe we wouldn't be on the verge of losing our house! Anyone need any web work done? I'm cheap like a um...cheap hooker. Or something.
DK: I wasn't snarking on you... that was a joke about the trust fund brat lifestyle. My wife's ex is a trust fund brat and follows your first sked to a tee, except for a title put "My schedule at a van at the skydiving place".
Everyone: Thanks all for recommending the Yahoo calendar! It's just what I needed.
