The Story So Far…

My initial enthusiasm for going to the gym has worn off. Now I hate it. Can’t argue with the results though. I look better than I have in a long, long time.


Spoke Too Soon

Well, it seems I spoke too soon. As the Mozilla folks have been doing an awful lot recently, they have come through. Sunbird (and the Mozilla Calendar extension) now do basically what I want and I am the happiest boy alive.

It’s still a little hokey and there are some bugs, but I can definitly manage a calendar on my PCs and my Mac, all accessing the same file on a central server. I’m using WebDAV to do it. You have to jump through a couple of hoops to get it to sync up properly the first time, but after that it’s perfect.

Am I the only person that needs a simple calendar program with TODO items that I can access on Windows and Mac OS X and that synchronizes to a central server? I can’t be.

If I’m not, why the hell hasn’t Mozilla filled this need yet? It seems like every calendar program out there will let you sync to a calendar in one direction, but not both. Damnit, I need both! I use four computers regularly. Every single day. They need to be in sync. This is why I use IMAP for my mail, and Thunderbird for my mail client. IMAP lives on my Linux server and Thunderbird works everywhere that I do.
Hopefully Sunbird (or whatever the Mozilla calendar client is called these days) will fill this need soon. I feel gross sending myself emails with reminders and putting them in my TODO mail folder.

And don’t even get me started on contacts, bookmarks and notes.

– UPDATE –
Actually, hold up. It looks like maybe the newest version of the Mozilla calendar has rudimentary support for doing this over DAV. Sweet!

I need to use envelope filters to say how I feel.

Dear Weather,

   Please be nice so that I can brew some beer. My kegs are all empty. Thanks.

Love,
