More info later, but the calendar is working from nickell.org email, hosted by google’s gmail.

Key points for me so far:

The quick add feature is great, click the q key, type something like “Dinner with Steph tomorrow at 7″ and it adds the appropriate event to your calendar.

If it sees something that looks like an event in a gmail message, an ‘add to calendar link will show up to the right.

It can also send SMS messages to you cell phone for a reminder.

I’m looking forward to getting someone else to help me try the shared calendar features. I think this could be a godsend for busy families.

There is a tool called remote calendars that allow google calendar to sync with Outlook, which can sync with my cell phone. I usually despise Outlook, and playing with it has only slightly improved my opinion of it. It does work though, I can get events from my Cell phone to google calendar and vice versa. If anyone wants to know more, I’ll expand on it, but I don’t think I’ll be using it. I can also create events in my google calendar from my cell phone via a SMS message, so maybe this will work out for the best.

Since it’s been a year since my last update.. I’ve definitely decided to phase the Mambo site out, and probably replace it with http://nickell.org/blog/ (This post was imported from Mambo, just so you are not confused, This is the “new site”)

I’ll (eventually) move the blog content to the main page.. (hasn’t happened yet)

Is there anything worth saving from this page.. I’ll miss the integrated photo gallery, I’ll have to see if I can do that with the wordpress too. Any thing else you guys want to see? Any stories you want me to move over?
