Google calendar20th July 2008, 318 views Anyone use it? I just started to use it (my memory is pants because of my strokes so I need it) and my god it's good. It's ideal because I can access it wherever there's an Interweb connected computer and it also happens to be very good from a users perspective. If you're looking for a calendar app for either yourself or your company (you can share calendars between users - the only downside is that you've got the Google logo at the top - but it's not exactly invasive or ugly...) I would say it's well worth looking into. With it being hosted fully by Google themselves, setup time is virtually zero. Oh and it's free of course. Link to meIf you use any of the code on this site (and if you don't I guess) or it makes your life easier, I'd appreciate a link - http://www.phpguru.org. Thanks. |

If you are using Thunderbird as your mail client, which I am now using after getting fed up with Outlook 2003 - there are some nice plugins that can play nicely with Google Calendar too - allowing you to view/update your calendars via thunderbird.
The first is 'Lighting' the official calendar add-on project for Thunderbird, and the second being 'Provider for google calendar' which hooks into Lighting.
