Well, just when I got used to the idea of using 30boxes, and exactly on the same day the people from webcalendar service Kiko shoot me an email that they’ve totally redone their service, Google’s long awaited Calendar is launched.
Now, I haven’t used Google’s calendar in depth yet, but frankly, it’s not a whole lot different from what Kiko and 30Boxes offer.
30Boxes is really extremely easy to use, it’s got a nice AJAX interface and the input is as intuitive as it can get. It doesn’t have any jazzy display options, but hey, it’s all about 30 boxes, so a day view really would break the whole thing.
I checked out Kiko as well, and it’s quite feature packed. It’s got a whole lot more options than 30Boxes, but it can be a whole lot more confusing as well. It does have a really nice AJAX interface, but their input is a bit more strict than the 30Boxes one.
Finally, new player Google Calendar really doesn’t overwhelm. It uses interface and AJAX features most GMail users have come to love, but strangely enough, there’s no GMail integration? What gives? I do think though they’ll add that soon.
All of these calendars offer sharing and collaboration features, as well as iCal and RSS functionality.
I guess I’ll just stick with 30Boxes for now though.
I’m not in Vienna, which gives me plenty of new photo opportunities. This time it’s the woods, all wet and with a hint of snow. Enjoy (by clicking the picture of course…).
Check out this page where you can see the books being added to LibraryThing, greatest online library service on the web (where else, right?), in realtime.
As Tim Spalding puts it in his posting LibraryHypnotismThing:
I find it hypnotic, both fascinating and will-depleting at the same time.
And he’s right! I should be soundly asleep by now, but I just can’t stop staring!
Austrian art-group gelitin will open their first large-scale exhibition tomorrow in the Kunsthaus Bregenz, here in wonderful little Austria. Avid Boing Boing readers will know them for their giant rabbit.
One of the highlight’s will be a free-of-charge installation on the ground floor. Here’s a snip from the official text on the Kunsthaus homepage:
On the ground floor, for example, the artists will be constructing a public restroom complete with balcony in the KUB Arena;
According to another source, that public restroom will be enhanced by a whole lot of mirrors, so you can actually watch yourself taking a dump. I never again want to hear anyone saying all art is useless.
Nice day, too warm really to spend it in front of the computer.
Had a nice chat with my cousin at the MQ, which is everybody’s darling location here in Vienna once the sun is out.
