    Google calendar literally changed my life. They ask me if I’m available in 6 months, I am pulling up my calendar and adding that immediately. Now I know that on that day, I am booked for an hour.

      I wish that it had better reminders though. I don’t want a little polite notification area message for events, I want an alarm.

        Also it hangs around until you remember to cancel it. So sometimes you have reminders to buy some milk that’s been on screen for 8 months.

        The trouble is you then have to pull your phone out to make sure that she’s actually done it right.

        Half the time it struggles with “what’s the weather forecast for tomorrow”. Often replies with “it will rain the rest of today”, yeah, but what about my question?
