Just a quick one on a few things I have found lately. I’m sure lots of people are already familar with this stuff but I have never quite needed it so I have never played with it. The main thing being – Google Calander!
Lately I have decided to start using google calander to help me organise stuff. It is handy because I can use it at home and/or at work and I have access to everything regardless of where I am. You can set it up to sent you reminders via either email, pop up or SMS (text message, duh). I haven’t used the txt option yet, but I can imagine that it would be mighty handy. You can also import other peoples calanders. The only one I have put in is the public holidays one since I actually have no idea when the holidays are here in the States. But there are other ones I noticed like movie release dates or TV shows or whatever that I imagine lots of people would find handy. If you really want you can add “Barack Obama – The Illinois senator’s campaign events”. Sounds a bit stalkerish to me!
The second thing that I just noticed about google (gmail to be more precise) is that if you go into the settings you can set it to always use https, which I don’t think they used to have. I am really happy about this, it makes me feel a lot safer and it was to me, the only down side to gmail. But no more!
That’s it. I was happy to find these handy things and actually use them. I know they’ve been round for ages but oh well. Feel free to comment if you have found other cool uses for calander.
