GOOD NEWS! An offline Google Calendar is in the works. Google may have it up and running by this coming Thanksgiving. Maybe sooner.; Like this Reply to this comment

If offline, once you go back online, it will automatically sync. There is no exporting or importing needed, it just works seamlessly. I've been using it for over a year and have had no problems.; Like this Reply to this comment


by mnovickar July 24, 2008 3:12 AM PDT: The keyword access hint for firefox is excellent.

In Mozilla-based products, they're called keywords. Once you have a bookmark set for Google Calendar, add a short, simple keyword you'll remember by editing that bookmark's properties in the Bookmark Manager. For Google Calendar, I use gc. Then, even if the Navigation Toolbar is hidden, I hit Cmd-l on my Mac to open a location pane (Ctrl-l on a PC), type gc and hit Enter, and I%u2019m there. Note: This tip applies to any site you access frequently in Firefox, Camino, or Mozilla.

Voice over IP (VoIP) software is used to conduct telephone-like voice conversations across the internet. There are many free VOIP Software available on the webs for download. VOIP Software is popular because VOIP phone service is often cheaper than traditional phone service, and is becoming more popular for both business and personal calls.
