Online organiser/diary things?

[northwind]

As anyone who knows me knows, I'm really disorganised... I've tried diaries and lists etc but inevitably, I always lose 'em. I know Google does an online diary, so that got me thinking, it'd be pretty ideal as I couldn't lose it and I can access it from most places easily. But as well as the diary/organiser I could also do with something that'll support a sort of "things to do" list... ANyone know of a reliable online provider that can do this?

I have diary that goes almost everywhere with me, that works for me. The draw back with the online stuff is that you have to have a computer near by, thats online, so that would work for me....

I'm totally disoranised as well, but yes the to do list, diary work well for me, not much help with th eonline stuff though!

I use the google calendar. I would be totally lost without it.

A combined online to do list would be great though.

I use my phone - if it was online I couldn't access it enough.

Mozilla Sunbird is quite good.

used it for maybe 10 years, still the best. Available free I beleive nowadays, or should be, it was magazined several times.

Best 'carry around' I've found, and I'm always looking for something better, is a Psion 3.

If you have a good mobile perhaps you could try Outlook. You can then synch your mobile with outlook each day via bluetooth / usb lead.

I have an antique mobile... In theory it could do all this stuff but in practice it's incredibly slow. Being online is the ideal for me since I've always got internet access at home and at work, that's most of the times I'd need access to it really.

Cheers folks. Hey, I suppose I could use a calendar app like google and just set up a notification on some random day which I could use as the "things to do" or notes page...

I use hotmail. Have to have a remote email for work, comes with diary and contacts. Works for me and it's free.

I have an Excel spreadsheet for recording my time & attendance (for billing purposes), but it's grown and grown, and now includes a list of rates (so I can easily see what I'll be taking home monthly, whether they give a rate by hour or by day), a sort of diary overlayed on my somewhat basic time & attendance calendar, and I also have a basic budget on there, and a few bits n pieces have found their way on to it in the past (like xmas lists for the kids/family/friends, and the like).

This spreadsheet is saved to a USB memory stick that goes EVERYWHERE with me.

I tried the PDA thing (Acer N35 with built-in GPS)... fiddly to use, little too bulky to take everywhere in my pocket, bit small compared to using a full size computer screen, and the battery used to run down a little too quickly for my liking ... the GPS software was also crap, and the USB connector that saves the battery and charges it broke WAY TOO EASILY, and so ended up being precariously held in place by a couple of elastic bands - not ideal - and often fell out, causing the PDA to switch off at inconvenient moments - like when I needed to know what the next instruction was. Damn thing also fell off the windscreen and in a bid to try and catch it (as car was rolling forward), my body seemed unable to react to the falling PDA and also operate the brake pedal ... and so I rolled into the back of someone :oops: So now the PDA is consigned to the dustbin, and I print off directions (or just write the basics down) before I go anywhere ... sorry that's getting a bit off the point :rolleyes:

Remember the milk!!

No, seriously, I haven't gone mad. http://www.rememberthemilk.com/tour/

Check it out, online todo list tracking, tied pretty neatly into Google. Online storage, no software to install anywhere, accessible everywhere.

I've used it for a long time.

HTH.
