*sigh* Looks like I might be switching over to gcal. I’ve been a user of hipcal for over a year now, but they were acquired by Plaxo a while back and are no longer developing it. The killer feature for Hipcal for me was the email reminder option — which gcal now has, but without the range of settings hipcal had (my default is three days warning for big assignments, one for small, and 12 hours for events). I’ve also got most of my scheduled assignments for the semester dumped into the “tasks” bit of hipcal, which google has trouble understanding. I don’t know — might be kind of a pain in the butt to switch, but at least I know google isn’t going to go and get themselves acquired.

i used sunbird for a while also but the advantage of google calendar is that i can edit and check my calendar from anywhere. also i can share the calendar with others.

Really interesting items to keep your college life organized. I was using mozilla sunbird but I am not liking how much memory it drains and it’s not accessable everywhere. So I might switch to Google Calendar. Also prefer a single notebook divided into 5+ sections with pocket folders instead of seperate ones. By the end of each semester, I have super fat notebook of all my classes that sem. Going to need to upgrade my USB/MP3 thumbdrive though.
