Re: [orca-list] Acessible online applications for calendar and task management

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

I have also used the lightning extension for thunderbird. 
It takes some getting used to, and I did not do a lot with it, but did set up reminders both for one time 
events, and repeated events, such as bill 
paying, birthdays, and some work schedules. These included sound alarms and popup messages. 
I don't use it now, but this is as much because I do not use any callender regularly. 
Also I've used googlecl, a commandline interface to several google apps. 
Googlecl seemed to be the easiest way to interact with callender I found, but the functionality is limited to 
a handful of commands, and I am not sure 
if this would meet your needs. 
I had some trouble with callender when I tried to link it to  this laptop a few weeks ago, and have not gone 
back to try and correct the problem. I hope 
this was my error, and not something broken with the google  api. 
You could, and hopefully still can post events to your callender, and see existing events. This could be 
combined with a cronjob and or some scripting 
to automate things so that you are reminded  of your scheduled events at certain times, when you boot the 
computer or shut it down, or in when you start 
some program or another, say when you launch your mail reader, or a notetaking app.
Oh, something that was certainly not obvious to me: The man page for googlecl is found with 
man google
not 
man googlecl
and I'm not sure if it has aditional help available using the  info command. 
Also you use google to start your commands, e.g. 
google help
I'm getting a bunch of errors right now, so won't post more advice re googlecl until I get things sorted out, 
but I've used the program happily on and 
off over the last few years. It should work with blogger, youtube, contacts, docs and a couple more apps 
besides the above mentioned callender.
  
HTH.
