Remembering Your Milk

TinyURL'd

My sister was attempting to convert so-many-cups to so-many-milliliters for her class gingerbread house assignment. As I do to most questions in life, I advised her to ‘Google it’, she said she knew and I went back to wating spoonfuls of Nutella. Half an hour later, she asked me for some help with this conversion website she found, I felt ashamed that so many useful features (unit conversion in this case) were strickly of Nerd knowledge.

Like Google and Twitter, Remember the Milk is a website which fools the users with its deceptively simple interface as to how damn useful this bugger is.

As was exposed on my MacBook post, I got one, as as a nerd I just had to try every little thing out. This information tidbit applies only once in this article, so fret not John Hodgman. Since, and most definately not because, I got my Mac, Google has done some really great things with their GMail serivce — and I use the Graffiti theme.

And for the sake of laziness and for the fact that the list I half wrote was nothing but a crappy version of the official one, these are the applications I use for Remembering my Milk.

Now, for what I know of, this step is only for the Mac, or at least anything with iCalendar (so the Mac). Although I am sure there is a myriad of Calendar programs that sync with atom feeds, your iPod does not sync with any of those. If you cant find the sync menu for your iCalendar, I borrowed this link from, again, the Remember the Milk website;

iCalendar

From the iPod > Contacts > Calendars section you can select to sync your iCal with your iPod, which then gives your iPod Calendar section an actual amount of use.

This post took way too long to write and re-write, so I wont bother with an ending, bye.
