Calendars

Admission: I don't carry a Pilot or such device. I rarely have more than one event during a day (or even a week!) that has a particular start time. My calendar mostly consists of to-dos, many of which can be slipped day to day. I print out a week-at-a-glance each week and wing it from there; wheee.

Most folks, however, seem much more calendar-oriented. They move their calendars from their computer to their palmtop. They get events from other people so they can coordinate their calendars. If you're that way, and you care about the standards for how events are handed around between calendars, you might find Lisa Dusseault's recent article about the state of calendaring standards interesting an worthwhile. Her exhortation at the end to get involved is really aimed at protocol folks and software developers, but everybody is welcome.

Me, I'm quite happy in my mostly-uncalendared world... Posted by lookit at August 11, 2004 06:03 PM
