Im after something to keep my life in check...im forever forgetting stuff - so yeh something to pop up and remind me a day or so before i have to be somewhere, or just something to check free dates
Any ideas?
I use a Palm PDA for such things, Sam, so I've never explored desktop software to do the job (though Outlook might be OK if you have it?).
I do but i prefer thunderbird over it - unless its not such a pita as i first thought it was
Might be something to consider but iirc i dont have a way of backing up /restoring emails from thunderbird to outlook
You could just use the calendar/contact/journals element of Outlook, Sam.
There is an addon caleld lightening for thunderbird
seems to do the job :)
There you go then. Now you need a nice, programmable, reminder facility. :)
I like RPM2 from Spacejock (http://www.spacejock.com)
If you have a gmail account Sam, the calendar on there is great :thumb:
Sunbird (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/sunbird/) is the stand alone version of Lightning, Sam, and it's what I use. You can set pop up reminders, as I believe you can with Lightning.
