    Looking for an event calender...
    « on: April 23, 2009, 04:41:19 PM »
    Hi, I am trying to find a desktop calender to suite my limited needs, but haven't been able to find one as yet. They're generally meant for an office environment, not for a single user with a short term memory. It needs to do only one thing, allow me to write a reminder note to a specific date and then show me this note at a specific time, prior to this date, say the day before. This could be a typical "pop-up" alert. It doesn't need to be fancy, just free, preferably. Any opinions? Any help will be appreciated.

      Thanks Broni, that one's great for online reminders. I found one called Hott Notes 4, like those little "sticky" notes. It's so good, I'm actually thinking of donating to his cause, assuming Hott is a guy.

      If you would like to tie it in with your email and general calendar, Thunderbird and its Lightning add-on has the option for pop-ups or an email reminder for events and tasks.  It can also be tied in with Google calendar if you are sharing or looking at other people's calendars.

        Google calendar works for me.....and alerts and notices are sent via gmail in advance


        Never argue with a stupid person, they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
