Get your life organized 1: One calendar in all your devices
This is my first post in my “Get your life organized” series…
First of all I must point out that i am not organized when it comes to personal appointments and such but I’m really working on it. I think it is more interesting to find out solutions that make it impossible for me to not organize. These posts are the result from my investigation in some tech that will make it easier for you to organize your life…
Today we have lots of devices around us. Mobile phone and at least one computer. It should be able to control your calendar items in all of them. I think that the web-page-calender-solution is not good enough and want to use calendar applications and sync them all together.
This is possible by using one mother calendar that all your devices sync from. My choice is Google Calendar or Yahoo! Calendar because of their syncing abilities. There is a standard called CalDav that is supported right out of the box in many calendar software and mobile phones . Both Yahoo and Google calendar supports CalDav.
Mac OsX: iCal sync out of the box with CalDav. guide
Windows and Linux: Mozilla thunderbird or Sunbird (calendar only). They support CalDav.
Mobile device: I use goosync and it works great with my SonyEricsson G900! Another solution to use googles own google sync that should work with many different mobile phones. Iphone supports CalDav right out of the box.
Widgets: Many widgets are available for google calendar or yahoo calendar. I use an Opera Widget at work to check the upcoming activities.
All the calendars will be in sync. If you change in one device, all will change the next time you sync them with your online calendar. Hope this was helpful for you.
By the way .. this solution does not require any cables.
Netbook – Fun, cheap and always with you
A netbook is a small notebook that are ideal for internet-based applications such as mail, web-browsing and instant messaging. You can buy them with both windows or linux. The windows version is dominant. Since Windows Vista is too demanding for the hardware, they are shipped with Windows XP.
If you think it’s boring to use the computer at home all the time I recommend you to buy a netbook. A bus ride or a coffee at a café will never be the same again. But i would recommend you to subscribe to a 3g-internet service as well. A netbook without the net is not that fun…
Netbooks prove that we finally know what PCs are actuallly for. Which is to say not all that much. – Wired
