Remember the Milk

Paul Westbrook | 27 July, 2007 23:08

One of the features that I used to use in iCal that is missing from Google Calendar is task management.  I used to create tasks for repeating items like, flea treating the dog or replacing the furnace filter.  Also I would add entries for projects that I wanted to remember to do.

When I switched to Google Calendar, I created events for these items, as Google Calendar doesn't show tasks from shared calendars.

I heard about Remember the Milk on the dl.tv podcast today, and I decided to try it out.  This site lets you manage your task list.  In addition to using the web interface on the Remember the Milk web site, you can also add the tasks to Google Calendar and iGoogle.

The other cool thing is that it uses Google Gears, so you can access your To Do list even when you are offline.

Locating access points

Paul Westbrook | 27 July, 2007 01:57

I had a quick thought.  At our house we can see a bunch of 802.11 networks, but I have no idea of where the access points are located.

I was thinking that there would be a neat way to locate the access points:

  • Setup three computers running iStumbler
  • Gather the signal strength of all of the visible networks
  • Use that information and the location of the computers to determine where the networks are.

It would be cool if this was added to iStumbler or a plugin for iStumbler would do this automatically
