scrybe

Just as I was contemplating bringing a major bout of procrastination to an end, Scrbye lets me in.

notes


calendar


sends me an email reminder


can it sync w google calendar?
google calendar offers an address for ical; so far, so good


looks like scrybe needs a file from my disk

I downloaded the ical for Japanese holidays from google calendar then uploaded it to scrybe; it worked (kanji didn't render; double byte, but that's another story); but for things other than a series of dates, it seems like a lot of effort compared to pen and paper

but, it's only a matter of time



all in all, it's very smooth; I've got it on two machines now; eventually it will be able to sync w google calendar (via a url) and then allow editing of calendar while not connected to internet, for re-syncing upon reconnection. More or less have that now with abiword and google docs.

I bought a domain via google the other day. Seems like combining individual scrybe accounts w each of the (200 x 2g) mailboxes in the set of google apps for a domain would allow a reasonable biz setup for $10 p.a. Is that $0.05 per user per year? There must be a catch.
