Re: [orca-list] GPodder and looking for an accessible calendar.



Hi,

If you are looking for a really simple calendar program, there is a calendar utility that comes with most versions of Linux. In Ubuntu, it is /usr/bin/calendar. I've been using it for many years, and it suits my needs--I don't need reminders fifteen minutes before an event. I have a cron job run calendar every morning at 4:00 and I receive an email of my events for the day and the following day. For more information, man calendar.

Hope this helps,

dave

With some looking around again tonight, I found gpodder.  It may be
already in your list of accessible applications however I tripped across
it while looking for a calendar earlier.  Ok.  I admit, I actually got
side tracked and ended up looking for an RSS reader.

I'm looking for two applications.
1.  An accessible calendar.  Doesn't have to be too complicated.  As long
as I can keep track of my to do list every day I'll be happy enough.  When
I was using Windows in work, I relied on the tasks in lotus notes for
this. I haven't looked at Evolution for this functionality yet.  It may
provide it.  I don't really like Evolution though.  It seems to be a bit
buggy with Orca and sometimes when accessing the groupwise protocol.

2.  An RSS reader.  This is useful for so many things.  Firefox should
probably have one but I'm not having any luck getting access to it's plug
ins feature for some reason.  In Windows, I use to use a third party rss
reader.  I think the address to it was www.rssreader.org.

GPodder by the way is a podcast downloader.  With some looking around, it
looks like Orca works well with it.

Very impressive.
