Futureme.org allows you to write an email today and specify a date in the future on which it will be sent. This is perfect to remind yourself about library due dates, trial membership cancellations, and any other easy to forget deadlines.
This simple, useful website has been a life-saver for me in a number of forgetful situations over the past few years.
If you are like me, you would love to free yourself from the ineptness of Outlook. However, the calendar feature remains one of the only decent scheduling options available.
I’m really not looking for another software program, so Thunderbird is out. The real inconvenience of Outlook is not its substantial bulk, but just the fact that it is local software, and not available on the web.
Really, I want a calendar built directly into Gmail, so that it is easily available from any computer.
There has been a lot of good discussion on blogs as to how the calendar should function:
