Given: -- I won't carry around a PDA -- I'm always around a computer, and my cellphone has net access -- I'm always logged into danga.com for my mail -- Nothing on Linux supports calendar syncing well -- The Apple store closes at 6pm on Sundays Solution: * one of my screen windows on danga is now running "emacs ~/calendar.txt". * I put private data I don't want to share with the world in braces. * cron is doing: cat calendar.txt | perl -npe 's/\{.*\}/XXXXX/g' > bradfitz.com/htdocs/calendar.txt Elegant!
