Here's more reasons to use a calendaring app.

You can import it into Googe Calendar, or your Outlook or Korganiser!

Now, I wish TV networks supplied TV listings in iCal format too.

Some more snaps that I admired. (See the previous post here)
Do not disturb

Too close for comfort

Leave me alone

And… cut!


wow + ow

April 21, 2006

.wow.

Google calendar. Use it! The interface is as smooth as you would expect from google. It is growing fast in features (like sharing, repeat events, number of calendars, etc). Also, they have opened up the API for the calendar. (which means, more applications can support it, cross-platform, blah blah). The search bar is prominent, of course. (I find myself using the search option more in calendar, than in gmail). The only things missing as of now are a To-do List manager, and a templating system (to quickly add bdays/anniversaries, for example).

.ow.

In other news, I have got a thorn in my foot and it is refusing to budge. I picked it up on one of my recent treks and at that time I didn't bother too much with it. I have been punctured with thorns before, and they usually come out by themselves. (Body mechanisms + minor coaxing by me. Thank God for Evolution. he he). But it's now about two weeks, and I am worried that my limp will become habitual, even if the thorn goes out.

 

After ruling out amputation (one friend generously offered to bite my foot off, but I declined), I decided to try out some home remedies. A friend (the same one) advised to get a sewing needle and dig it out. But I couldn't find a shop that sold loose needles. Hence, resourceful that I am, I bought a syringe needle, and without further ado, began taking shots at the uninvited guest. There was one minor problem however; the syringe needles are rather sharp, and I managed to get a tatoo with it.

 

The next recourse was the internet. One lady, on some website, advised that I apply a duct-tape over the affected area, and leave it overnight. The next day, you just have to take it out, and voila! The thorn comes out with it. But, in my case, when I got up the next day, there was no duct-tape anywhere near my foot; it had fallen off some time in the wee hours of the night.

But anyway, that reminded me of a remedy that my grandmom would use. Apply a piece of pickled lime on it for overnight, and the apparatus works almost like that duct tape. Now, to find some pickled lime…


The Terminal

April 19, 2006

Viktor Navorski is stuck in an airport terminal. War in his home country prevents him from getting back. The cold New York streets hold the key to his life's ambition. They are just a glass door away. But he can't get there. Not yet. He has to learn the language of the locals and steal his way through. He has to be Resourceful. Friendly. Sad. Strong.

Before he can get there.

Hmm..

Btw, read the first four posts. They are hilarious.
