Fitting Slashdot Into Your Schedule
droleary writes "Looking for more ways to fit the new iCal into your life, or just a way to check web site updates without it looking like you're not working? Well Subsume Technologies has just announced a cool new way to do it: wCal. You can subscribe to frequently updated calendars that are headlines of (hopefully a growing number of) web sites, including a constant-refresh-ending Slashdot: Apple calendar (the press release has the subscribe link)." I first heard of this idea from Morbus Iff back on Sept. 11, and am still not convinced of the utility, but it's an interesting idea. Maybe it will catch on.
I actually LIKE having my calendars on my iPod - it reminds me where my classes are, what my girlfriend's work/class schedule is if I'm meeting her somewhere and what homework I have due without the extra weight of a PDA. YMMV, of course, but I think it's a cute little addition that makes my life a little bit easier. Now if it could only record our conversations so I'd have the same stunningly accurate "But you said..." memory that she has I'd be set. :)
