For several years I have organised my diary through a webcalendar on my own webspace. I have recently discovered Google Calendar and thought I would give it a plug here as it is extremely usable.
Migrating from webcalendar was a simple as exporting to ICal format, saving it to disk and then importing it into Google Calendar.
It has a really easy to use interface, for instance.
Bringing up the ‘quick add’ box I can type in
Meet Lorraine at 7pm Friday
and it will insert an entry called Meet Lorraine for this friday at 7pm.
Repeating appointments, email or SMS reminders are in there too, along with the ability to invite other users to meetings (not tried this yet)
The only issue is if I’m not at a computer connected to the net and someone asks me what I’m doing next friday I don’t have a clue!
