I prefix it with "ii". That both identifies it as a maybe event, and makes it so that I can just do a search for "ii" and instantly have a list of all the things going on in town in the future that I know about (every week I take off the "ii" from entries of the past week - it's fast)<BR/><BR/>That's how I solve at least part of that problem.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7167131.post-86380092221927627042007-05-07T17:13:00.000-07:002007-05-07T17:13:00.000-07:00If you use a HTML calendar like Google Calendar yo...If you use a HTML calendar like Google Calendar you could use text labels like "Alternate:" and "DailyGrind:" and use a Greasemonkey plugin to make them fade away. <BR/><BR/>If you're really ambitious, add buttons to the calendar display so you can label something as an Alternate or Grind easily.<BR/><BR/>Or, maintain two calendars in Google Calendar, one for you and one for alternate events, which will automatically get displayed in different colors. For example, in Google Calendar under Calendars > My Calendars click the "+" button and add a calendar for "Optional Events" and another one for "Daily Grind". They'll naturally show up in different colors, and you can easily turn them on/off with a click.Anthony Francishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04312383756910469092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7167131.post-4464504719645373932007-05-07T09:45:00.000-07:002007-05-07T09:45:00.000-07:00I like the idea of alternate appointments in the c...I like the idea of alternate appointments in the calendar. Maybe you could do something where the primary appointment is at the forefront, but the alternate option(s) are accessible by pressing a colored/shaded bar on the right of the appointment with a stylus? Just brainstorming.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
