I just completed filling in my Google Calendar for the rest of the year to coincide with the school calendar. It has four layers, the first two - appointments of a work and personal nature. The third is a layer showing the phases of the moon and the fourth national holidays.
When I first started tinkering with the Google calendar, I searched around of for special calendars to enhance it. I found what has to be close to a dozen. It took several months to whittle it down to these four. The other plug-in is the five day weather icons.
Then along came Lightning. This is the calendar module for Thunderbird.
Coming from MS Outlook, we expect a calendar to be part of the email program. Now it is. However, I find I am more likely to open the Google Calendar in Firefox than to hit the tab to open Lightning. Too much of a good thing? I don't think so. The Lightning calendar is linked to both the work and personal calendars, so when I make changes, they appear almost instantly on Lightening. I would like different colors for information from different calendars, but not yet.
If I don't have Internet access, the information is still there for me.
On a totally different topic, today is the anniversary of the Attica prison riot in upstate New York. I was overseas at the time of this blot on the country's history, but I think it was a major tipping point in history and should be remembered.
