Yes, I'm still busy. Ray and Andy have failed to get me out in the recent weeks. Hopefully it'll be better After the assignments end on Saturday.
Just thought I should come up and leave a short message or something. Just thought of Google Calendar. I've used it for two weeks after one of my assignment partner told me to use it. Yeah, I think it's quite useful for me to plan what's coming in the future. It's also useful to keep a record of what I did. For example, it showed that I worked more than 60 hours last week, so I guess if I still fail, I've at least given it a good shot.
I think the advantage of using a web based calendar is that it's flexible. It's quite easy to change the events. It also lets you share calendars with other people, which is how my assignment partner and I plan for meetings. The disadvantage is that you must be online, you can't take it anywhere. Although you can argue that if you have a mobile device with Internet, then you can use it anywhere. (e.g. how Andy used his 3G phone stuff in Taiwan.)
Oh, a feature I just started using yesterday is that it can send you reminders via SMS messages. I don't know how they can offer that without charge, but it does.
Anyway, have a look on Google if you're interested. If you start using it, I might share with you my calendar with more public plans (which has nearly no plans). Or I might even show you my primary calendar that shows time durations with events but the details are hidden. And you might wonder why I had something until 2:30am Saturday. You'd be wrong if you guess I was anywhere near Margarita.

yes, online-and-shareable calendar sounds awesome. But I would suggest one to use it in conjuction with a second calendar that isn't web-based and is mobile. It can be a calendar program on your cellphone, or a software on your notebook, or even just a booklet that fits in your pocket. Though double-worked, you never know when you need to reconfirm existing schedules or make a new schedule.
I tried the built-in calendar on my cellphone before (or should I say,Alice did) as I'm good at forgetting things. But I guess there is no real plus from the calendar if nothing is happening...
PS. 3G online-surfing in New Zealand is far too expensive, no real value unless you are in some kind of an urge or geek enough...
just wanna say that I just wrote a logic question on Alice's guestbook that came up in the interview I went today, I think its kinda interesting, come and do it when u have time:P
