That's infinitely more usable than your name, apparently. If you aren't going to put your name to your arguments, then they aren't worth anything at all.
Umm, I don't think you've understood me. I'm not bemoaning any lack of an adequate tool. I'm responding to the original poster who is asking for one. It's that question that I'm bemoaning. I believe that there are many adequate tools, and I believe that it's really easy to build your own -- as I've done so many times throughout my career.
If you're a waitress, then I don't want to talk over lunch. Let's talk over a jazz performance instead.
Think harder please. Much harder. Here's some help. Think about everything you think is important, remove everything else that already exists, and see if it works in your own head. I promise, what you've just described doesn't work. And once you add what's needed to make it work, you no longer benefit from those things that you thought were important in the first place.
If you're asking me for my professional review of a product, contact me professionally, give me a budget, and I'll give you an invoice. If you're asking for my personal review, I just don't find that fun.
I'll say it again. If you're having trouble with co-ordinating your calendar in 2014, then you ought to go back to finger painting in kindergarten. It's not a complicated issue, it's not a new issue, and you aren't in the first billion persons to encounter the problem.
Enjoy your life. I'm glad you find it challenging. Keeps you out of my way.
and you think that calendar software, web calendars, and events in general have changed at all? You think the iphone changed the way we schedule events on a calendar? The iphone entered a world that existed already. It didn't bring new ways of doing things. It simply brought convenient access to the same things. No one wants gps as a part of their calendar. I have no interest in being told about all of the events near to me. Quite the opposite, actually.
And, in case you've forgotten, before there were iphones, there were much more mobile event calendars. And they were smaller too. I know because I lost six of them in one year when I was 10. They were the size of a credit card, but not as colourful. That was 24 years ago.
I'll say it again. If you're having trouble co-ordinating your calendar in 2014, then you might want to ask your parents if you were ever sent to kindergarten.
No. You've missed the point entirely. I sound like a cook in a restaurant who, among many other things, has been making peanut butter and jam sandwiches for twenty years, and someone starting a new restaurant is asking for a recipe for peanut butter and jam sandwiches.
I'm describing the industry that results in the poster asking this question in 2014. That industry. Where thousands of comments from hundreds of responders will discuss an idea that's been in use for decades.
Explain to me how it's 2014, and this is the same question that I've been asked since I started my web business in 1992? I'm just plain bored with it. We've had twenty years of web calendars, and forty years of software calendars. I've had enough of the question. What a waste of an entire industry. What good is an industry that can't solve a single basic problem in two decades? I'll be 60 in 25 years. I'll have retired twice, and I'll be consulting for random other companies. I swear my very last project, on my death-bed, will be the very same "we need an event calendar, what should we do?".
Show of hands. How many readers here have built, installed, chosen, spec'd, designed, setup, trained, populated, migrated, or exported an event calendar more than six times? I'm approaching about 150 at this point.
I've been using the Truly Ergonomic ( https://www.trulyergonomic.com/ ) keyborad for well over a year now. It's totally different from a normal keyboard. I'm also using a blank-keycap one, in dvorak mode, with some personal key-changes.
I love it being different. I love the way that it's different -- columnar arrangement, tab, backspace, enter down the middle, home-row shifts, delete mirroring escape.
It took a whopping two weeks to get used to the new layout. Much like it took me two weeks to switch from qwerty to dvorak fifteen years ago. And I've no trouble bouncing back and forth to "normal" keyboards when necessary.
More important that how I feel, is how I feel. My fingers move a lot less, I type much more fluidly, I'm much more comfortable, and long days feel the same as short days.
I welcome new designs and layouts. You're not forced to use the ones that you don't like. Which is good, because otherwise I'd be forced to use a qwerty keyboard -- you know, the one designed to be horrible to use. The author might want to focus on that problem first.
Aside from being a great excuse for anything secretive, not all "traffic studies" can be simulated. For example, if you were testing new traffic simulation software, you can't simulate your own authentication. Trust but verify.
If you want to watch a movie your way, wait for the dvd. if you choose to go out in public, accept what the public does. It's not wrong if it's not hurting anyone.
Oh, agreed. But that's what happens when you push decades of education onto children. Force them to sit in a desk in a classroom for the first 25 years of life, and it's no big surprise that they become rule-based participants.
Believe me when I say that you don't want laws to cover being considerate. You're in a public place. You'll be able to see public people doing public things. That includes crying babies in restaurants, coughing, sneezing, and breathing of all sorts. You'll survive. And you can always throw popcorn at anyone who bothers you for any reason you like.
So it's illegal to bring a camera into a movie theatre, but not a gun? Interesting. And when did it become *illegal* to text or answer the phone during a movie? Last I checked, it never was.
cognitive disfunction is a thing that's existed for centuries. Amnesia counts. So who's going to care for your children in the event that you don't remember how to make breakfast?
Oh right, you have a will. It can be executed in whole or in part.
Stop pretending that new problems need new solutions. We have old solutions that work damn fine.

So take me out to dinner or something, and we can talk as friends.

Then why is this guy, and so many others, still asking for the community for help?
No. You've missed the point entirely. I sound like a cook in a restaurant who, among many other things, has been making peanut butter and jam sandwiches for twenty years, and someone starting a new restaurant is asking for a recipe for peanut butter and jam sandwiches.
Get under yourself.
But the goal of hiring IT is specifically to solve the problem. If your IT guy isn't solving a problem for five years at a time, find a new one.
Build your own. If you can't build something from 20 years ago with modern tools, then you ought to get a new profession.
I'm describing the industry that results in the poster asking this question in 2014. That industry. Where thousands of comments from hundreds of responders will discuss an idea that's been in use for decades.
There's always something that does not work? Every thought of just building your own any way you please?
If you'd done what I've done, you'd know why.

No worries. Full-speed typing of intelligent arguments warrants a pass on such things.
That said, if the password is "leaked", then the valve must be faulty.
Sorry. I couldn't resist.
Have you tried it for a month? I went blue, so it's quite clicky, the feedback's perfect..

Mine's induction. So I don't need to worry about it at all.
Maybe the fireplace? Or the dryer? Probably the washing machine.
