Google Calender

Things are starting to pick up here. And I guess it must be a good sign. Hopefully there would be no hiccups in between and I am able to complete the task that I was given. Thank God for the abundant blessings He has given me. Anyway, had Alladin Fried Chicken last nite, and most likely it will be a while before we'll be going back there again :P



   Are you the type of person who has a lot of memorable dates inside your PDA or personal organizer? And there are so many important dates such as birthdays, anniversary, appointments or even public holidays. And hopefully you won't miss out on a very important appointment ;) Introducing Google Calender, whereby once you fill it up you will NEVER miss an important date again. Please take note that this is not a paid post :)


   For the past few days, I've been trying to get Google calender to work on my blog. And apparently it wasn't that difficult. I had install the Google Calender Plugin, and took me a while to configure it. And now it's up. So you can see on the right hand side there's a box of the events which I will be taking notice of. What you see now are all public holidays that I listed, as well as school holidays. I'll prolly explain why I ended up using Google Calender in the end.


   I was first introduced to this calender a few months back to help work out on the eBay free course which I participated. So basically, one of our colleagues would help set up our appointments, and just 1 day before the appointment google calender will email you a reminder regarding the appointment. Back then google would be able to sms to Maxis as well as Celcom, but not for Digi. So I never really took it seriously back then. But just recently when I tried fiddling around with it once again, this time Digi is able to support the sms feature. And yesterday I did a trial sms, it worked. What are the charges? I guess it's free for now because I wasn't being charged anything at all :)


   Anyway, I've currently updated most of the school holidays as well as public holidays. The reason why I put these dates in so that I would expect more people to come in to the shop and prolly stock up a few weeks before hand. It pretty much helps as well in terms of planning for a short or long trip. Hehehe. And another thing I put inside there are birthdays and anniversary. But mostly the birthday are private, as I put the phone numbers in them so that I would not miss out on any of my family and friends birthday. So it's pretty much cool. Anyway, my friend use it to put her favorite TV shows so that she wouldn't miss it.


   Anyway, do give it a try, and you would pretty much be surprised on what you can do with this fun free tool. Not sure if they would be charging for sms yet, but in the mean time. Start filling it up, and you can be sure you won't regret it. Did I mention you can sync it with Microsoft Outlook, Mobile Devices & Apple iCal or Mozilla Sunbird. So give it a try, and I'm pretty sure you won't regret it.


Disclaimer : Again I would like to emphasize that this is not a paid post, but rather a useful information which I think would pretty much benefit everyone :) Have a nice day.
