I’ve been experimenting w/online calendars lately. The ones that come w/Wordpress themes seem to only list blog entries. Outlook doesn’t offer any sort of online version unless you are using an exchange server. Kinda overkill for just one person.
I was about to give up until I remembered Mozilla had come out w/a calendar program, Sunbird. As luck would have it, they based in on the internet’s iCal standard so I am able to update my calendar on my laptop and have it instantly published to the web. Wahoo! A couple of cons though. The major one, I can’t host it on my own domain. It has to be done via the ical servers. Well, thats the case for now anyway. I may discover a way eventually. I know you are just dying to see it right? Well, click on the “calendar” link in my Useful Bits section. What a glamorous life I live eh?
My ultimate goal is to have everything on my domain. Contacts, schedules, blog, files, etc. What better way to be truly mobile? Anywhere I have computer/internet access, I’ll have access to all my info or files. It also make shopping for laptops easy. I won’t need huge storage, just good processing power.
See! Moby does think ahead occasionally.
